Dammit! Would somebody please tell me

[maxudargo]

when am I allowed to get happy about this? Give me a specific time, GMT or PST, so that I have something to count down to.

Come on. It's obvious what's happening. It's been obvious for months. We've just been scared to allow ourselves to believe it. But it's happening and I want to enjoy it, dammit!

I already voted. Leave me alone! I want to be happy about this! Is that so wrong?

1. Thursday maybe

[gcomeau]

2. 5 seconds past...

...whatever time it is you watch Bush start his concession speech.

3. Turn on CSPAN or similar around 7pm EST and start watching

Sometime during the evening, the election will be called.

Have patience. There is no precise time possible. This is how most elections actually work.

4. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez !

5. Party now!

You can always puke later if you end up with a hangover.

6. When Kerry gets at least 270 EV's

7. I gotta agree with MaxD...

I voted, I'm willing to bet the vast majority of those on this site have voted. This "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" stuff is great, but let's be honest, most of us are sitting in front of our computers and listening to the TV and that's about it at this point.

If polls look good for Kerry, then Damnit, I'm gonna be happy.

11. Yeah baby! Yeah!!!

I'm not normally an excitable guy, but I think I'm gonna wet myself tonight. I'm gonna do it on purpose just because I've never allowed myself to wet myself before. I'm gonna free my soul tonight baby! I'm gonna scream like Howard Dean until the neighbors call the cops!

Start celebrating!

9. It's called "Red Sox Hopes"

It's the condition whereby you do not believe that things will fall your way even though the Sox have a 3 run lead, it's the bottom of the 9th, home team is up, two out and a grounder is hit to the pitcher.....even though you know that your 1st baseman will catch that soft lob from the pitcher....while the ball is in the air, you still deny the possibility of victory.

Relax...I'm waiting for the "you won't have Bush to kick around anymore" speech myself.

12. BUT THE FUCKING RED SOX WON, MAN

DEAL WITH IT. YOU'RE A WINNER! IT'S ALL WORKING OUT THE WAY YOU'D DREAMED! NO OCTOBER SURPRISE! NO CRUSHED HOPES! IT'S ALL HAPPENING, BABY!!! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

15. Ex-act-lee

:toast:

[SaveElmer]

10. Carville says 9:37

I would guess, as he is an advisor to Kerry that he has access to internals so his guess would probably be about as good as any!

[Oddman]

13. Pretend your watching the World Series

and the Sox are one out away from winning. . .

[maxudargo]

14. No.

[CitySky]

16. You may celebrate when

A. B*sh gives his concessions speech;
- OR -
B. B*sh & Co. are hauled out of the WH in handcuffs.

That's when I'll really believe it. (Should probably disclose: Red Sox fan here. Learned not to party until the LAST PITCH.)
