5. NOOOOOO!!!!
I feel that same anxiety that I feel near the end of horror movies, when you keep thinking that the monster is dead, and then it's back again, and then it's dead, and then it's back again. I just want it to DIE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!! I need RELIEF!!!!!!!!!

I think we can wear them down and get 99% of the vote if we extend it long enough.

Hope fatigue is setting in. That's why early voting is so popular this year. They vainly hope it will stop the chanting in their heads of "USA!! USA!!"

16. Just about everyone I know is excited enough now, thanks!
People are having trouble sleeping; can't think about much else; running to the computer to check the news every hour or so. And it isn't just me!

My late-thirties son, who has never cared about politics his whole life, called me at 6 a.m. this morning with his worries about the Missouri vote being stolen.

27. I kind of know what you mean.
But, no. I'm counting down the hours until we don't have to hear anymore about how we can't count John McCain out; how the race is tightening; how the bradley effect is going to result in a landslide for McCain, etc.

34. That's a great idea
McCain/Palin are already taking strategy advice from Elizabeth Hasslebeck and Joe the Brain Surgeon. Give them another week and they'll be listening to Carrot Top and the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

73. You know, I will miss this.
Some days I try to step outside of the now, to contemplate all of this in an historical sense. I want to save this moment in time.

On the other hand...
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Tuesday cannot arrive soon enough. My fragile psyche would be shattered forever.
