Can't sleep...been up since 1:30 AM (new time)
On the one hand, by all accounts we should have this in the bag...on the other hand, the system seems gamed. I don't trust the opposition, I don't trust the MSM, and I don't even trust the Democratic Party at the highest levels. Afraid of what is gong to happen on Election Day - after all, in 2000 who thought that that nightmare would occur?

I'm exhausted and am running out of steam...just two more nights until the Day. Been cleaning up the basement for a couple hours...living on coffee (no reds, Vitamin C, or Cocaine, for you Dead Heads)

Please Please Please....

4. Cleaning the basement is a good thing to do. Hang in there. If he loses, join me in rioting. But I
think he is going to win big time. It's a matter of hours now. Go to an Obama office in the morning. You'll feel better.

11. No one is going to game the system.
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 06:03 AM by Birthmark
Obama's lead is too large and we're too close to the election for any fixing to be plausible. It would be too obvious. The fix would have to be too large. And the consequences for that are too big to chance.

Obama will win Tuesday. But keep working, anyway.

14. Up too...
Strange. I normally sleep like a baby. Did a fair share of FL phone banking on Saturday to GOTV - responses were generally good which was encouraging. Found out I'm headed to Chicago on Tuesday, so I'm excited about that. I just can't wait for victory.
