For those who were with Obama from the very beginning...

[cynatnite]

How do you feel right now?

[Butch350]

1. Nervous, Scared, Hopeful !!

[gizmo1979]

35. Me too.

[MassLiberal]

2. So hopeful

but too nervous to be able to feel jubilant...yet...

[babylonsister]

3. A bit anxious, wish it were over, excited, is it too early to pop a beer?

:crazy:

[dolo amber]

22. This.

:bounce:

[babylonsister]

33. Exercise?

Not a bad idea, but I'm glued to the 'puter, too. Such a mess over here! :hi:

[dolo amber]

36. I was actually saying "this" in reference to what you posted

because that's basically exactly how I'm feeling. But I also am rather bouncing off the walls, so that works too. :D :hi:

[cali]

27. almost time for that beer- just hold off for a bit sis

and I'm more of a nervous wreck than I've been in ages.

:hug:

[babylonsister]

31. I'm only kidding, cali. If I don't wait, I'll miss the party in Grant Park.

This is nerve wracking, isn't it. But in a much better way than it might have been! :hug:

[Genevieve]

4. Nervous, and I've been teary-eyed since I cast my vote this afternoon.

[MassLiberal]

32. Me too!

It all just feels so incredibly momentous.

[eissa]

5. Cautiously optimistic

I have been unable to bring myself to look at projected electoral maps and polls. I mean I obviously know we're ahead, but I don't want to get ahead of myself and then be devastated as I was in 2000 and '04. It's all a bit surreal right now.

[az chela]

6. Terrified,sick to my stomach,scared that they might steal

the election again.HOPEFUL<WILL BE ELATED WHEN BARACK IS ANNOUNCED THE WINNER

[donco6]

Anxious.

I've been with him from the 2004 convention. This has been a long time coming. If it gets stolen, I don't know what I'll do.

[hlthe2b]

7. Proud

and very hopeful...

[BklynChick]

8. anxious and joyous at the same time!

[AtomicKitten]

Spazzing, threw up once, but otherwise happy happy joy joy.

[AtomicKitten]

47. You too. Cheers!

:hi:

[MadBadger]

9. Suprisingly Cool and calm

Never felt this way during the primaries though

[Borgnine]

10. On edge.

I can't believe we've taken it this far... I can't believe it's Election Day.

[CPschem]

11. anxious, but confident that we nominated the right person

He's run a flawless campaign.

[Max_powers94]

12. I feel good so far

[bushisanidiot]

13. Incredibly proud and psyched up cuz he's going ALL THE WAY!!

Just a few more hours and we'll be dancing in the streets!!!!!!!!

[TwilightGardener]

14. Cautiously optimistic. I remember being terribly disappointed on certain

primary nights, so I never get too confident--but I feel OK so far today.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

15. Hopeful, Anxious and Incredibly Emotional

[FloridaGrl]

16. Anxious, cautiously optimistic and upset

with some of the voting problems being reported.

[Supply Side Jesus]

17. Damn Good

Feels damn good to know America can still do the right thing.

[HuckleB]

18. It's very surreal.

If Obama wins, the world is going to seem very different. It will actually be a bit disombobulating, if that's a rel world.

[bunnies]

19. FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

:bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo: :bounce:

Sorry to yell but theres just no other way to put it!

[NRaleighLiberal]

[jeffrey_X]

23. My wife is crying. We are an interracial couple from Chicago. We've been following him since 2002.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[silverweb]

24. Wound up tighter than I've ever been.

Tense, nervous, enraged with all who attempt voter suppression/intimidation, and vacillating between jubilant optimism and fearful despondency.
Trying to focus on work until tonight.

[Ozma]

25. Very proud of my nation for the first time in 28 years!

Well, there was that Clinton guy, but he sort of blew it for us all with his extra curricular activity.

[chitty]

26. Optimistic and nervous at the same time.

[scheming daemons]

28. Scared out of my freaking mind... a little troll in my head keeps saying they're going to steal it

Even though the rest of my brain keeps pummeling that troll.

[Adelante]

29. Perfectly calm

It seems strange, but there it is.

[MadBadger]

38. I feel the same way

And before I clicked on ur post, the exact words I was going to respond to you was that it seemed strange

[mattvermont]

30. I started voting in 84 and

He will be the first time that my "first pick" candidate won.
That feels pretty great.
I drank the kool-aid at that 2004 convention speach

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

34. I was with Biden from the beginning... does that count?

[jillan]

39. Me too!

That's gotta count for something. :)

[stillcool]

37. I'm not feeling anything...

I'm frozen...suspended in time. It's like the world has stopped.

[Waiting For Everyman]

40. Very proud - of him, of Dems, and of all who vote for him.

Thankful that the odds are this good, and hopeful that'll be enough.

[Happyhippychick]

41. Proud that he's come this far and amazed that he's come this far.

[NYC_SKP]

42. *****FINALLY!!!*****

Finally, the one I supported and wanted to win from the beginning, from before the primaries, won.

Admittedly, Kucinich might have had the best strong progressive policies to offer, but he'd not have been able to beat Hillary.

And, sorry fans, Hillary would have led an only slightly more enlightened administration than her husband, and his policies were a little too friendly to globalists and corporations and not particularly aligned with sustainability energy or economic policies.

So, having passed the first hurdle of the primaries, and what a gripping set of contests those were, and now being poised to take this general election, I'm indescribably happy and surprised to have lived long enough to see my first choice make it this far and, presumably, become President.

:patriot:

[Joe the Revelator]

43. Nervous Nervous Nervous

[mirrera]

44. Waiting to Exhale... I know that is corny but it is me. Visine and coffee now, vodka later

Edited to say I wasn't for him from the beginning, so I shouldn't have posted I guess. The Obama shrine in my living room made me forget.

[NYC_SKP]

46. Almost forgot....Recommended! nt

[Nancy Waterman]

48. Vindicated!!

I was with him from the first and still am totally.

[Pisces]

49. Emotional!!

[Franco72]

50. fine, very fine

at least I got what i wanted since the Convention 2004, a Democratic Nominee called Barack Obama. Our next President.

[nickgutierrez]

51. Nervous as all hell.

Luckily, I have a class tonight until about 8, so I won't be getting home until 8:30 or so. By that time, we'll know (more or less) what the result is going to be.

[JimGinPA]

52. I Feel Good...

Like I knew that I would.


B-)

[Tesibria]

53. overwhelmed. ~eom

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

54. Relieved

Emotionally exhausted.

Proud.

[blm]

55. Hopeful that he WILL be an open government president as he promised....

hopeful that the powerful will be unable to turn him from that promise.

[dannofoot]

56. Like I felt when I watched his speech at the DNC in 2004...

And turned to Mrs. D. and said, "We just heard from a future President."

Didn't expect it so soon, but hey...and it's even better when you live in Illinois!

[Jed Dilligan]

57. Giddy. I've been calling voters in NC but I get too giddy and need to

come back here and decompress.

[malik flavors]

58. Honestly, a little overwhelmed. I never thought he'd get to this point.

It's still hard to beleive that in a few hours he could become our next president.

[cynatnite]

59. Thanks everyone for making this a great thread. :)
