How come, even though I'm 100% sure we're going to win, I'm nervous beyond belief?

[scheming daemons]

I feel like I'm back in the delivery room waiting for the birth of my first child.

I *KNEW* everything was going to be ok with her.... but I was still scared out of my mind.



Today is like that.

[Ian David]

1. Because Thom Hartman thinks they're going to steal it again? n/t

[prolesunited]

2. Because you've watched it happed twice before

I have knots as well.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Me too!

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Yep. Me, too. I won't relax until I hear McCain give his concession speech.

[Shakespeare]

16. Yep.

I am a human stressball today.

[MorningGlow]

3. Fool us once, shame on us

Fool us twice...won't git fooled agin!

We're gun shy. We've been abused for eight years, and we're afraid to hope that things are going to go our way this time. The only thing to do is hang here with the optimists. Ignore the bummer threads. And breathe... :hug:

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. You're all in for $1,000,000 with the nut flush...no pair showing on the board

You know you have it. You know you do. You know you're opponent is going down. But that's a lot of goddamn money.

That's what you're feeling right now.

[jpgray]

19. But a double-gutshot straight flush draw is possible, you complacent fuck!

:P

[DesertFlower]

5. you're not alone.

i'm a nervous wreck.

[krawhitham]

6. It is like that nervous energy we got on Xmas eve when we were kids

[Yes We Did]

7. 2000 & 2004 n/t

[FVZA_Colonel]

8. It's an entirely human reaction.

I feel it as well, to be honest.

[Alter Ego]

9. Because every time you begin to build confidence,

a thread like "VOTING PROBLEMZ IN VA PA OH FL" pops up and just destroys it again.

Goddamnit.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick that darn football

[Greyskye]

10. Because we've been here before

And even though I'm so much more confident then I was in the past... :scared:

[demo dutch]

12. I'm not sure we're even short of get out the vote volunteers in Florida

[blondeatlast]

13. I had the best high risk pregnancy team in the country delivering my son

by c-section but when they couldn't detect the heartbeat for 10 seconds I could have died myself. They had to sedate me before the epidural.

And my beautiful young man looked at me this morning and told me to please vote for Obama and Dan Saban for sheriff. He'll be 12 in February.

and I'm so nervous I can barely stand it!

[Lucy Goosey]

17. I'm right there with you.

A bundle of nervous energy.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MANative]

18. You're not the only one. I've been up since 2:00am - nervous

as a cat on a hot tin roof. Managed to doze off for a bit around 5:30 (after hanging around here for a while!)
