Crying at the drop of a hat. Anyone else?

[treehuggnlibrul]

Yesterday and today... just the smallest things... seeing John Kerry speak, hearing comments about him from Springsteen, Buffet, listening to people voice their opinions, reading posts here, reading about Edwards... listening to our pastor on Sunday tell people to vote, and then telling them about freedom and why you don't just destroy a country, say "now you're free," and say mission accomplished... looking at John Kerry pics from yesterday's long post, putting on my Kerry/Edwards t-shirt and getting thumbs up from a parent at my child's school... just seeing John Kerry signs.

I'm a mess today. Just thinking about marking my ballot makes me weep.

1. I teared up when I did my absentee. I checked it over and over

4. Teresa Heinz's Speech In Ohio Moved Me...

I think she found her voice last night...

[bunkerbuster1]

21. She was good, wasn't she?

After she finished, I turned to my wife and said, "It will be nice to have a First Lady that I don't feel sorry for."

[jcg996]

5. I'm looking forward to

plenty of tears of joy from all of those who have endured this long, dark night. Let's believe that this country we love so much can make us proud today and in the future.

[tilsammans]

6. Me too

I'm very emotional, as I view today as the most important day in history in my lifetime.

[Tansy_Gold]

7. Me too

woke up that way. probably go to bed that way.

[Longhorn]

9. Me, too!

Watching the Mosh video, reading stories about people voting, watching The Waltons -- OOPS! (Anything to avoid the media whores!) :cry:

[wildeyed]

10. I am very emotional today.

But that is good. It is an important and historic day. I am glad that I am involved and connected. The ones I worry about are the ones going about their business like it is just another Tuesday.

11. I think a lot of people are emotionally drained

I wasn't fully embroiled in the 2000 controversy, but ever since * got into office I have been obsessed with getting him out.

John Kerry was my guy from the start. I felt like he was the best guy for these times. It has been a horrible 4 years and its all coming to head today.

I have yet to vote, and I know my 1 vote may not mean a lot in Virginia (though polls are close), but I am very nervous as I prepare to head down to the polling station. I don't know why I'm nervous. I am very well prepared with ID and Reg Card, I know no one will screw with me or they may not like the results...its just the process. The actual process of being able to validate your committment to a man you have worked so hard to elect.

No more arguments, debates, fights, no more convincing people to vote for Kerry...It's all you and him now. Make it count.

12. when he wins i'll get on my knees & cry like a baby

[finecraft]

13. Oh my God...YES!

I haven't been able to keep a dry eye for more than an hour since yesterday. To think that our long national nightmare is almost over is so overwhelming.

[flygal]

14. Yes, I'm watching it all from overseas and it's AMAZING!!

[Doctor_J]

15. I don't cry,

haven't for at least 35 years, but I have been slipping off into emotional daydreams alot lately.

I wish I had your pastor :-)

[pk_du]

16. tears of sheer Joy tonight !!

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. I've been crying off and on for the past week

I know I will cry my eyes out when Kerry wins.

[Child_Of_Isis]

17. I can't breathe.

My stomach is in knots. I've been weepy for two days. I could just stroke out on this one ;-)

[CTyankee]

18. Tunes in my head

Yesterday it was Age of Aquarious. This morning on my way to the polls at 6 am it was Bridge Over Troubled Water. :grouphug:

24. I was BAWLING watching the Ohio rally last night

n/t

[vickie]

25. I feel the very same way.

[Sara Beverley]

26. Yes, with you all the way. Thinking about 1120 dead soldiers and

thousands of dead Iraqi women and children. Crying because I feel a part of the misery and helpless to do anything about it UNTIL TODAY!!!

[fidgeting wildly]

27. Yup, me too.

For about a week now.

It started when I voted for John Kerry. I just stood there and cried. Had to compose myself before I could leave the booth. They probably thought I was one of those undecideds and that's why it was taking so long. :)

I feel a little silly, but I just get overcome by the emotion of it all sometimes. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Emotions and Ham Sandwiches

I'm your basic tough guy sort. Brusque, outspoken, doesn't suffer fools well, but also an emotional sort. (Yeah, I cried at the end of the movie. So what? It bothers you? Tough shit, jerkwad.)

Anyway, we're all pretty damned heavily invested in this election. My wife has seen more than a few sleepless nights. I'm reduced to about 3-4 hours a night myself. My work has taken a back seat to election related activities.

Some of us cry, some of us laugh, some of us sleep, some of us don't.

Yeah, its tough on our emotions. But look at the other side. That emotion you feel? Others feel it too. And they're acting on it. Its proof we're right and they're not.

Just remember, as a wise 4 year old once told me ..... "You can't fight city hall with a ham sandwich."

[AlCzervik]

29. i feel like i'm going to puke

i'm leaving to vote in 20 mins and taking my 10 year old. She is a godsend..."Mom, Kerry will win, look at those crowds, people love him!"

[phish420]

30. Springsteen made me cry yesterday

when he was speaking while strumming his guitar...I was balling tears of joy and hope...
Im tearing up writing this...

[Clinton Crusader]

31. so far only when watching The War Room and seeing WJC get elected, but

That will surely all change tonight!!
