Feeling eerily calm...

About the election. For about the last week, I've just felt like this is going to go Obama's way. Yes, I know I still need to vote, get others out to vote, etc, but I just don't believe America is going to vote Romney in. Am I in denial? Cause I'm convinced the only way Romney "wins" is if this election is stolen.

That's a very possible "If" - stealing the election if it remains this close- is VERY possible KaryninMiami Oct 2012 #1

Probable actually. We cannot be this close in actual numbers (between 1 and 3%) or we will loose. GOTV is a huge deal.

Might as well, because there's not a darn thing you or I can do about it. And I'd rather be calm than freaked out. I know I'll be freaked out Tuesday night, it's just the way I'm wired.

I'm sure I'll be nervous as hell. For now I'm kinda enjoying the "I think things are gonna work out" feeling.

I finally got 'the calm', too about a week and a half ago. Usually I have to freak out a bit before I get it, though. It's been fool proof so far, personally speaking. Not complacency, just feeling everything is going to be alright. We shall see.
