Are you as nervous about this as I am?
I've felt so good about the last two elections to lose (or have stolen) that I just can't trust what's going to happen. We just CAN'T let this happen again!

I'll be on pins and needles until all the networks declare a winner.

6. Very confident, but very nervous at the same time.
I don't trust the repubs any farther than I could throw Karl Rove.

14. Agreed - I'm sure we will win
But I don't trust the rethugs to not try to steal it.

7. My sense of worry comes and goes. When I look at the map, I feel better.
CNN showed the map last night and pointed out that if McCain runs the board on every single one of the "battleground" states and somehow pulls off an upset win in Pennsylvania... Obama would still win by a few electoral votes. If Obama wins even one battleground state, it's over.

16. You have no control over what other people do... only yourself.
Calm down, take a chill pill and have a great day today! :D

12. Pros:
We were never this far ahead in the polls the other times.

Cons: The Thugs have shown no shame in stealing elections, and the media is already laying the groundwork to apologize for "getting it wrong". Tweety was doing it all last night.

13. Not really but I am shining up my armor for the next 4 years....
;)

You have no control now (if ever) on how everyone will vote today, so?

There is nothing to be nervous about. Relax, enjoy the day and go with the flow.

What would be your other options on this Historic Day?? :shrug:

17. Today's the day we find out whether we have a democracy or not
And times of revelations are good.
If it is stolen this time no one can say that we are just conspiracy theorist
And frankly I don't think the rethugs want that exposed.
