How confident are you?

[Vektor]

Just so I can find out if my sanity is intact right now, I want to see how other DUer's are feeling.

How confident are you that Barack Obama will win this election?

Thanks for your input.

Solidarity, and the proverbial group hug to all! :grouphug:

1. Hi, Vektor.

Nice to see you.

I voted 'pretty darn confidant.'

All these long lines feel like blue lines to me.

[Vektor]

2. Thanks - I'm cautiously optimistic, but only because of past elections...

...where chicanery ran wild. If I knew the election was clean, I'd be 100% sure.

[Vektor]

12. I hope you're right...

...and many hugs to you, old friend. :hug:

[saltpoint]

15. A big hug right back. We ought to be re-electing

President Kerry, were it not for Ken Blackwell and other weasels undermining the process in Ohio last cycle.

Tonight, I think our countrypersons will elect Kerry's choice for the 2004 keynote address.

What a strange world History hands us.

All the best, Vektor, and you have yourself a top-drawer celebration tonight!

[Vektor]

18. Or at least a top shelf one!

:-)

You do the same, and yeah...good ol' president Kerry...definitely should have been that way.

3. My level of confidence has grown in the last few days.

I know that huge mobs of people showing up to vote usually has motivation behind it. In this election, that motivation is change. No one is really buying the McSame "change" bullcrap. He voted with Bush 90% of the time. That's a fact, that's his record. Where is the change? And why now?

McSame has been in the Senate forever. He's had plenty of time to make changes, and he hasn't. It's time to put him out to pasture and bring someone new, with better ideas, into the fold. Out with the old, in with the new!

Goodbye John, hello Barack!

4. I'm confident we're going to win...

But I'm also confident that the GOP will try to steal it. That's likely to fail this time. But then I'm also confident that they will challenge the legitimacy of Obama, starting tonight and continuing out into infinity.

Just like they did with Clinton, but with even more resentment. The GOP machine will work nonstop to undermine the legitimacy of any Democratic government.

5. Voted 'Pretty darn confident'...

Only because I did, after all, come of age in the Rovian era of politics and we have been fucked before, though I honestly feel MUCH better than I did this time 4 years ago...and with good reason, I think. :D But I won't totally breathe out or believe it until it's called!

6. Pretty Darn Confident, but I still feel like I might puke!!!! The last two

elections have really traumatized me!

I might hyperventilate at some point today too.......

[Vektor]

9. I feel ya!

And many thanks to your husband for his service to this country!

:patriot:

[Vektor]

7. It's nice to feel this confident about our chances...

I really feel like we deserve our day in the sun.

[JohnnyBoots]

8. I think Barack will win, but the congressional races are the ones that

the machines will mess with. That way it will be a tough 4 years for Barack and Joe to get anything done...and come election time Sarah Plain/Jeb Bush will ride in to save the day.....not that I am paranoid or anything.

10. I'm still dealing with the PTSD after 2000 - went to bed happy, woke up to WTF?!!!

I truly think I am permanently scarred. Like you would be if your parents gave you a pony for Christmas and you had it one day and then they sold it to a dogfood factory.

[Vektor]

14. Do you mean 2004?

The results for 2008 aren't in yet. :-)

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

20. Thanks! I meant 2000

When I went to bed they had called it for Gore and when I woke up it was chaos.

[Vektor]

21. Oh, yes. THAT was a fiasco.

The beginning of an 8 year long reign of terror.

[Viking12]

11. Pretty darn confident. I even took tomorrow off of work because I plan to celebrate tonight.

Or, in the very unlikely scenario that something goes horribly awry, I would need tomorrow off as well.

[high density]

13. Looks infinitely better than last time around

I'll take it.

16. Depends on what I'm confident about

That Obama will win the election? 100%
That Obama will be declared the winner? 80%

There is no greater fear among top echelon Republicans than the
prospect of a Democratic Attorney General who will take his or her
job seriously and pursue it vigorously. So many of them and their
cronies stand to see themselves behind bars if we win that I'm sure
plenty of them are prepared to do anything in their power and budget
to hinder what seems inevitable.

It's no coincidence that Halliburton moved their HQ from Texas to
Dubai when the end of the age of W started to loom nigh.

[Vektor]

19. Great points. DFW.

I've got every digit crossed that we'll get it done anyway!

17. Depends on what I'm supposed to be confident about

That Obama will win the election? 100%
That Obama will be declared the winner? 80%
