Post here if you're not worried.
Obama/Biden is going to win. It's been obvious for a couple of weeks. Why are people so worried? I don't get it. Yeah, I remember the debacles of 2000 and 2004. This time it's pretty clear cut.

3. I think we all know Obama's going to win
It's just we want to see such a giant landslide across the nation including the House and Senate.

4. Beats me. I do wish some of the newly registered had turned out in '00 and '04 though.
It cost lives that they didn't.

5. Because people don't understand the fact that...
rural, Republican strongholds will be reported faster than urban, Democratic strongholds. Perhaps once people get this through their heads, they'll stop freaking out at McCain's early lead.

8. I'm not.
I feel like I'm waiting to let out the breath I've been holding since Bush was appointed... but it will be relief. It's not fear waiting to be dispelled.

10. I honestly don't know why people even COULD be worried.
There's no datum I know of at this point to provoke worry.

12. Very early returns favor the conservative because only small rural precincts can count that fast.
Wait until the urban areas weigh in.

That's the way it always goes down in CA.

16. I feel like an athlete that has trained
day in and day. Stdudied all the opponents tapes. My muscles are taunt, my mind focused and senses are acute. In my mind I know I Have won this game.

17. I've been worred every day since 11/7/2000. But even I have a good feeling this time around...
I'm thinking that Americans have *finally* have enough of the bullshit.

Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 07:39 PM by Wednesdays
We're getting returns only from solidly red states (formerly solidly red, anyway), and some are freaking out because we're not getting unanimous blue returns? :rofl:

Just wait until the returns start coming in from places like New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, etc. Then start telling me this isn't turning into a blowout for Obama. :)

19. The only reason I am worried
is that I am NOT worried. It just doesn't feel right because I'm a pessimist at heart.

We got this. :bounce::bounce::bounce:

20. My penance will be fulfilled
I will finally stop forcing myself to listen to Rush after Obama wins this election. At first I told myself I needed to listen to his point of view just for open-mindedness' sake. But I've done enough for the cause of bipartisanship. The next 8 years under Obama will be Rushless for me!!!!!!

21. Been wearing a Mona Lisa smile all day.
Excited to vote, yes, which took just over an hour early this morning. But I have been remarkably calm and at peace all day. I'm not buying trouble and worries until/unless it becomes necessary.

30. Not worried
Look at it this way, a Democrat never leads after 1% of the national vote has been counted, yet Obama led 51-48% according to CNN.

31. It was starting to feel very 2000/4 again, but then I realized
I have no doubt about NM. So all we need, all the world needs, is IN or VA or NC or OH or GA or FL or ...

43. Not worried here...
Strange, I've been so busy working but I've been calm. My daughter is freaking out because she voted for the first time ever today and the teeeveee shows McCain ahead. It's been fun educating her about EV and elections.
