Can We Have Just One Thread For The Nervous Nellies?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

They can all post here....

[xultar]

1. Thank Goodness, all those, I'm worried about...blah blah blah were

really affecting me!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. some well intenioned duers are worried but most worry thread are trolls

[xultar]

38. Here's what I always say about trolls...

[npincus]

2. I'm nervous- I've been eating my daughter's Halloween candy all day.

[Hawkeye-X]

4. Nervous Nellie thanks you..

[redsoxliberal]

5. i'm scared shitless!!!

[Griblit]

45. I'll second that- my stomach is all up in knots!!

I'm ready to start packing for Canada...and I hate temps less than 70 degrees!!!

[vi5]

6. O.K. I'll consider myself relegated to this free speech zone....

Actually I haven't posted anything nervous nelly-ish in a while. But I'm still an eternal pessimist so I'll never be in the "Kerry landslide!!!!" camp until it actually happens and I see all our hard work and patience actually pay off.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I Think It Will Be Kerry By A Point Or Two

nt

[trotsky]

7. Electronic voting

The thing that really haunts me about it is the 2002 midterms. Race after race with the Democrat leading in the polls, the Repuke pulls an upset. Every single time. Not ONE Democratic upset.

Terror alerts, etc., none of that worries me anymore. It's too late. Those machines, however... :scared:

[kaitykaity]

8. Yeah, especially since the "Hide Thread" is

disabled.

"It's offensive to make fun of prayer."

"Don't say LANDSLIDE."

Geez.

[BootinUp]

10. Another week and I'd have an ulcer. ;-)

Good thing its over tomorrow.

[ballcap1776]

27. I hear you

I've broken out like a hormonal 14-year-old kid. They don't sell enough makeup here in my conservative red state to cover these bad boys up. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

I've taken Wednesday off to either sleep off the hangover or vent some frustration and hatred by painting my dining room if it goes the evil doers way... so at least I have a day of recovery!

[Borgnine]

11. I think Kerry will win...

...but that doesn't mean I'm not still scared shitless about election-theft.

Oh God, I need a bottle of the pink stuff.

[nolabels]

42. I could use some tiny bubbles myself

http://www.ntlworld.com/data-feeds/editorial/microsites/pink_champagne/index.php

I drink to that:beer:

[Getchasome]

12. Listening to the radio in Illinois

this afternoon, someone called up on 890AM, which is the same station Limbaugh is on, and asked for help in deciding who to vote for because she's still undecided. She said she would like to "mush" the two candidates together because Bush would keep us safe and Kerry would help the economy. Roe Con, who is the afternoon republican shill, said he made a list of important issues like FCC regs, the war, and the economy and Bush came out ahead.

This poor soul listens to Rush as well for help in deciding who to vote for.

I just can't figure out why ANYONE would still think that Bush is gonna keep us SOOOO much safer than Kerry. This Roe Con even said "When you see the Bin Laden tape it makes you wanna vote for Bush." WHY? Bush let this idiot go so he can make these tapes. Where dealing with a lot of morons in this country people.

[wryter2000]

16. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[Getchasome]

37. Thanks

good to be here. I needed an outlet because I'm surrounded by repukes here at work.

[Skittles]

61. Howdy Getchasome

you should try being a Democrat in Texas. :o

[chimp chump]

44. it was a set piece

"She said she would like to "mush" the two candidates together because Bush would keep us safe and Kerry would help the economy. Roe Con, who is the afternoon republican shill, said he made a list of important issues like FCC regs, the war, and the economy and Bush came out ahead."

They probably got a staffer or someone from local GOP offices to make that call so they could make a few good points for Kerry but then bury him with all of Bush's supposed positives.

Sheer propaganda. But presenting 'content' of this sort keeps those Republican advertising dollars flowing, donchaknow.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. I hate to say this, don't flame me, I'm just being honest, but

Utah is not looking good.

[eataTREE]

17. Yeah.

We may not pick up TX or AL either.

On the other hand, I heard that Kerry has a good shot at taking MA.

I'm Captain Obvious, and I approve this message. :P

[A-Schwarzenegger]

47. I know somebody from MA

and he said a neighbor there said they were
worried about too much confidence. I'm not sure
what to think. I have to sit down.

[unfrigginreal]

19. That's a damn lie

A new poll shows Kerry's closed the gap to 45 pts. Troll!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

48. You going to make me cry I am not a troll!!!

Well, maybe I am a little, tee hee.
I'm a troll, but I'm nervous too!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Oh THANKS ALOT!!

Just what I needed to hear right now!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

49. I'm sorry but I just have to tell you everything I'm thinking

and feeling and I just can't help it because
I'm so honest and express myself in freedom and
nervousness. Boy, I feel better already! Oh oh,
now I'm starting to worry again because how long
can anybody feel this good without something going
wrong!

[Amused2Death]

23. LOL, Utah.

I'm also nervous about my state (Maryland). :)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

50. There's nothing funny about Utah.

[Amused2Death]

53. i think it was....

an obvious joke. :)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

57. Well one person's obvious joke

is another person's mean thing to say.
This is a nervous thread in case you forgot.

[TexasSissy]

33. No! He's gonna win Utah in a landslide!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

52. Please don't say landslide because then nobody will vote!

I practically crap myself at the mere mention of the word
LANDSLIDE!

[tnlefty]

14. Trying to be cautiously optimistic, but I will admit that my nerves are

just about shot. For some reason the Smirk*/Sneer campaign is buying radio ads (quite a few in the past 24 hrs.) along with more tv ads than I've seen or heard in the past month. I want Kerry/Edwards to win this thing and I desperately want TN to be blue on the electoral map.

[Tomee450]

15. I'm a Nervous Nellie

I can't understand why so many people are certain of a Kerry win. I am hoping that he does but I remember 2000, when people were certain that Gore would win. We know what happened there. I prefer to wait and see what happens. All of the jubilation I see on these boards just makes me uneasy. I'll spend this evening calling people to remind them not to forget to go to the polls and vote for Kerry.

[displacedtexan]

20. Gore won.

Then the freak monkey's trial lawyers ran to court.

[eataTREE]

21. Who was certain that Gore would win?

I honestly had no idea what was going to happen. The polls mostly said Bush, but by a tiny margin. From what I remember, everyone seemed to think that Bush would most likely win. Of course, we didn't know then quite how horrible a prospect that would prove to be...

[Tomee450]

39. Many people believed Gore would win.

They felt that he won the debates and that with the many Bush isms,the revelation of Bush's DUI, Gore would be the winner. They were absolutely shocked that Bush became president. I frequented another forum during 2000, and there was the same kind of certainty that I am seeing here for Kerry that Gore would become president. I'd rather wait until he has actually won before declaring victory.

[npincus]

18. Any DUer who is NOT nervous is in DEE-NILE

some of us emote, while others are stoic, but I can hardly imagine any passionate person here not being nervous.

[American liberal]

28. I consider myself to be passionate and I'm not nervous

at least not until I read this thread! lol

My gut has been telling me for a couple of months now that Kerry would clinch it. And it wasn't based on anything more than a quote I heard hear from Karl Rove: He said something about how only 50% of those eligible to vote will vote in this election 'cause that's how it's always been done. And at that moment I knew we had them. It's their Achilles' heel. Why do you think they've been working so hard to supress the vote? We're turning out in BIG numbers and they don't have a chance. It's as simple as that. Every time I hear about somebody waiting out in the hot sun in Florida for four hours to vote, I get a thrill up my spine. There's a lot of fed up people out there that the polls are not touching. That's why I quit paying attention to the polls a while ago. Call me Pollyanna if you will, but I have a lot of faith in the American people to do what's right. We're not as stupid as the media and the right make us out to be. And it was proved years ago that the Moral Majority was neither.

So, no, I'm not nervious. I am looking forward to a "decisive victory" and a lot of crestfallen faces when the right realize that all their lying and cheating and money got them nowhere.

See you at the polls!

Peace,
AL

[ballcap1776]

31. From your mouth to God's ears, love!

[eataTREE]

24. I'm so nervous that I can't concentrate.

I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 30 hours or so.

Mind you, I feel as good about Kerry's chances now as I have at any time during the campaign. But I'm still wickedly nervous.

[terrya]

25. I'm now having horrible thoughts of 2000 again. Flame me if you want.

And if this thing goes to the Supreme Court...

[dennis4868]

26. I can hardly take part in any discussions anymore here.....

when talking about the presidential horserace. I think Bush is going to squeek it out by a percentage point or 2....NOBODY HATES BUSH MORE THAN I DO....HE IS A CRIMINAL IN MY BOOK AND SHOULD BE PUT AWAY FOR LIFE.....but I am also an objective observer and I feel that Bush will pull it out in the end (with the help of cheating once again).

So many here are so confident and I just dont see why.

Also, Bush by any standard does not deserve to have another 4 years....this WH has committed so many high crimes and misdemeanors that this race should not be close at all....the fact that it is a close tells me the american people for the most part are either uninformed or stupid or both...cant figure our which one it is.

My wife tries to take the positive side of it all and simply says it is only 4 more years of George Bush and then it is over forever....but what kind of damage Bush will do in 4 years without having to face another election scares me shitless!

[ballcap1776]

29. The supreme court

leaves me scared shitless in that scenario. 'nuff said.

Pack your bags for Scandinavia if he wins! LOL.

[Tomee450]

43. I don't understand

the certainty either. I am praying for a Kerry win but I am bothered by the fact that with all of Bush's negatives, the two candidates are running neck and neck, if one can believe the polls. Kerry should be way out in front.

[CitySky]

30. I have eaten WAY too much Halloween candy

and am not getting much work done. All nerves. Even though I BELIEVE Kerry will win. It's just the anticipation. And the DeLay/Morrison race. And my job performance. And...

OK. Time for me to pray, get back to work, and log out of DU for a while. Love to all! :hi: 'bye!

-Sky

[lupita]

32. can't concentrate at work. I am a nervous wreck! n/t

[Amused2Death]

34. oh, and allow myself to introduce...myself

I'm one of those "non-voters"/"first-timers" that seem to be so crucial in this election. I had the chance to vote in the previous two elections, but thought better of it and decided that all politicians were crooks. Well, when Bush started talking about the Axis of Evil, I had it. This is, by far, the most important election of our lifetime. To see a self-described political slacker/apathetic non-voter like myself making such enthusiastic statements should bring relief to your nerves and hopefully a smile to your collective faces. In the past few days, I've talked to a couple friends who were apolitical before, who are now ardent ABB'ers. If you're looking for someone to thank, it's not the genius of Michael Moore; it's the folly of Bush.

And to think that I would have voted for him in 2000.

:)

[Gregorian]

46. COOL! YAY! ETC.

Bravo! My hat's off to you. Even though I don't have a hat.
And it DOES make me less nervous. About the election. I'm also waiting by the phone to hear if I really bought a house or not. So that's also contributing.
And to think you voted for the Bastard. Wow. I can't tell you how proud I am.
AND, you are right about thanking Bush. For us here, he has unified, or at least woke up a few of us.

And welcome to DU.

[tjdee]

35. Uh...I'm... a nervous Nellie. Only in this thread though!!

They cheat.

They cheaty cheat.

They want people to NOT VOTE. They want black people to not vote. They want poor people to not vote. They want people in lines to be turned away if the poll place closes.

I'm a bundle of nerves, and I am not usually that.

[shelley806]

36. "Can We Have Just One Thread For The Nervous Nellies?"

Do you mean now? Or on election night? Or until election Night?

It's a great idea...On election night I'll be logged onto the Nervous Nellie thread constantly.

[The Wielding Truth]

40. Just vote and have faith in the kindness of strangers. Kerry will win.

[chimp chump]

54. .

"Just vote and have faith in the kindness of strangers. Kerry will win."

"
I've always relied on the kindness of strangers.

[Zephyrbird]

41. Yes, please! Somebody hug me! Somebody hug me!

I've been in a cold fear sweat all day!

:scared:

But you can still hug me, I'm not all gross or anything....

[Onlooker]

51. There's no way we have this election wrapped up

New voters don't vote, college-age voters don't vote, the African American community is not as solidly behind Kerry as it was behind Clinton, the Jewish community is not as solidly Democratic as it has been in the past, the fundies are like zombies who will march to polls en masse. We can win this, but our GOTV effort has got to be top notch. Remember, the people in DU would be motivated almost no matter what. We're politically inclined and often activist in nature. But, the average person doesn't even like to talk about politics. We can win, but we certainly don't have it won.

[Amused2Death]

56. I beg to differ...

I'm a new voter; I'm voting.

I just hope the razor-thin margin in the polling is attributable to the lack of data for people like myself (those who chose not to vote previously).

well, we'll see tomorrow.

[ieoeja]

55. We're going to lose.

And lose bad. We'll have a net loss in the Senate of at least two seats, maybe as much as five. Republicans are going to get a double-digit increase in the House. And Kerry will lose the electoral vote 299 to 239 and the popular vote by nearly 5%.

It'll then be interesting to see if they actually go through with the plan to replace the income tax with a national sales tax. I wouldn't think so. Surely even they're not too stupid to realize this would put inflation in the 50% and up range.

[Amused2Death]

58. and by "lose"

you mean "win."

[loudestchick]

59. Sob!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

64. You don't have to call him a name

just because you're nervous.

[loudestchick]

66. I wasn't calling him a name..I was wimpering...

SoB=Son of a bitch
Sob=crying

[The Wielding Truth]

65. Did A sneaky freerep start this thread? DU'ers are winners.

There are so many eyes on this election . Even the UN has people here.
Clinton is recovering . Schwarzenegger is 80% Liberal.Giulianni insuted our troops on NBC. Everyone with any soul hates what Bush & CO has done to this country . Go get a friend to hold your hand and vote with you tomorrow. Kerry will win.

[loudestchick]

60. I feel nervous, excited, scared...

But mostly I can't bear to think that 1/2 of this country is behind that lying, murdering, son-of-an-oil-baron!!!!!

[helpisontheway]

62. I'm fine until Karl Rove and others come out sounding

confident. I want them to be down and out. LOL

[laruemtt]

63. i quit smoking (cigarettes) october 1981.

in all that time i haven't wanted a smoke as badly as i do right now!
