OK, I'm officially a wreck despite

[cali]

believing and having believed for almost a year that Barack will be our next president.

I spent the morning driving folks to the polling place. I voted- first time ever on anything that wasn't just a piece of paper that you fold and put into big old wooden ballot box. The village just got an optical scanner. There was no wait, but voting's been heavy. In the first hour between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., more people voted in the GE than voted all day on Primary day.

Anyway, even though my heart and my head say that Obama will win, my conditioned-to-loss/theft nervous system is a freakin' mess.

I HATE having to wait for 6 hours more.

1. I am all messed up too. I wish I had the meny to go buy some Ben n Jerry's

[Lucky 13]

2. Here in Vermont B&J's giving away free ice cream from 5-8pm

10. Throw3 some over here to Maine, will ya? If they've got NYSuperFudgeChunk, that's

my fave. :P.... *drooling*

[Lucky 13]

15. "Whirled Peace in a Wafflecone" is good too!

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. I haven't tried that one yet. Dublin mudslide was good though.

[benddem]

12. I think that nationally

they are giving it away. They can't ask if you voted.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. They are, but the nearest shop is almost 3 hours away. I think it would be

cheaper to buy a pint instead of the gas. LOL

3. Another wreck here.

Mailed my absentee ballot a couple weeks ago...it's been a long wait for this day...since Nov. '04! Homework be damned, this is more important!

4. I'm so fidgety-- can't settle down.

:popcorn:

5. woke up excited, growing more nervous as day goes on

just because we'll know so soon (hopefully...)

[JuniperLea]

6. I blame Geo. W. Bush for all the Democratic angst today...

The head tells me the lines have been going on for days and days and that means more Democrats will have voted in this election than ever before. The head also tells me we have come out in numbers so great there is no way to steal this thing. I'm also hearing head-speak about how Obama won't rest until he knows the absolute and true outcome of this election.

Then the heart says, please don't hurt me again!

Fuck Geo. W. Bush and his evil election stealing ways!

ARGH!!!

7. Do you want to dance a little

I love this, a little Obama Salsa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0dMxqgS1-8&feature=related

I can't stop listening to it.

[AlCzervik]

8. no more coffee for me today, i already drank and entire 12 cup pot and it's only

10:38 am here.

[bdamomma]

9. I am anxious, nervous and excited.

I have heard about the voting machines problems and if anyone has problems please notify Our Vote, or 1 877 874 6226 Obama's campaign number for problems in voting.


As an ex pat I want my country back and the world is watching. Good vibes are going to you all from Bermuda.

[DevonRex]

11. Me too. I'm all in knots. Can't work, even to take my mind off of

the election. Can't watch teevee. And my head is killing me.

I'm actually tempted to take an Ambien now and wake up tonight when the results start coming in.

[Virginia Dare]

13. I was a wreck four years ago, but I'm strangely calm today..

very excited, but not worried at all.

Congrats to you for your hard work, and I know you mentioned sometime back that your son was working hard for Obama. My brother headed up one of his campaign offices, this is going to be a great victory...:toast:

[Voltaire]

17. For some reason I am dead calm

Not like me at ALL. But I do wish it was done. Another 4 hours here in Indianapolis.

[eshfemme]

18. I'm resisting the urge to do some nervous eating just waiting for the results

ARRRGH! The countdown to the live results is almost unbearable... I normally don't tune into the cable news before 5 or 6 but I am because I'm so on edge. I just want it to be official now.

[AndyTiedye]

19. I Have Been Sucking Down These Super-Spicy Candies

[MadinMo]

20. Me too.

A fellow dem friend and I met for lunch (we usually meet on Tuesdays) and we split a piece of turtle cheesecake today in celebration. We normally don't get dessert. Now I hope we didn't jinx things!
