Today is the day, people. U.S. citizens are casting their votes for the candidate they feel is most deserving of the presidency. Or, in RuPaul's Drag Race terms, the candidate with the most charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

As years of lip-syncing for their lives -- sorry, campaigning -- comes to a crescendo, the question on everyone's lips is: which candidate will be sashaying away?

While tension runs high, take a moment of calm by watching this delightful video of RuPaul contestant Kennedy Davenport easing you into a delightful state of inner calm and tranquility.

"Take in the scent of the gentle breeze. Mmmm!" says Davenport.

"I am beautiful, dammit! I am a drag superstar! I have not put on any weight over the holidays!" she continues.

Good luck, candidates, and don't fuck it up!
