The Tension is so bad about NH Vote......I had to turn the TV OFF!
They keep talking about Poll numbers, which who knows? And, I couldn't deal with the spin and the whore media. I checked into Blitzer for about 20 minutes then checked out. I have to get my infor from DU Campaign 2004.

Is anyone else too tense too watch. Thought I'd post for those who are like me. Nail biting and worrying. I thought CNN was okay doing Dean and Kerry and the interview with Wes Clark. But Bill Schneider was freaking me out with his "theories" about what we Dems are up against.

I was starting to feel "manipulated."

Where have you found good coverage. Or, just tune it out and get it here from "Reliable DU'ers?"

1. I haven't watched it much. I've been checking online.
The pundits really have no idea what's going to happen, though they will try to convince you otherwise.

6. How Convenient
That CNNs parent company gave Kerry 100,000 and they are right across the hall from each other

3. Ignore Schneider; he is a repuke shill.
There will be plenty of time to digest the actual returns later tonight. Remember, this is not the November election. Relax.

10. Me, too, KoKo01....
I'm sitting here contemplating the consumption of either antacids or some type of alcoholic beverage. :beer::silly:

I'm not even watching the TV, since we're all snowed-in up here (as I know you are just down the road from here) and the kids are watching HBO. But I've seen enough of the media to know what they're doing to the Dem candidates.

Give me a call and we'll commiserate, if it gets to be too much!

:party::toast::beer::hi:

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it between now and November: This is truly a scarey ride!

:kick:

13. I think it's gotta be REALLY CLOSE! Iowa which was much harder to read
(at least from what I observed got called early) This one had all the polls with Kerry leading. The silence here on DU is overwhelming. And, I trust you guys. I'm NOT turning that TV on.....but there's much QUIET!

It's CLOSE! Closer than the Polls said?????
