If you were drafted into WWI, would you want these DUers in your trench? |

Good heavens, people, back in basic training at boot camp the Sarge told you there'd be artillery going off overhead before the battle started. I'm going to go out for tacos. When I come back, all of yall nervous nellies need to be finished with your disciplinary push ups and smelling salts. We're going to win this one--for like the fourth election in a row!
This board's panicky respondents remind me of Bush's goofy faces when he was first confronted with reality in the first debate. After months and months in the partisan echo chambers, a cold splash of reality can be quite jarring. It was never going to be a landslide, it was, and is, going to be a better-than-razor-tight solid victory for Kerry.
That's still on and, if you ignore the background noise, that's what's still appearing when you look at the big picture. Now drop down and give me fifty... there's some fajitas out there with my name on them.

I'm only freaking out because I think they're cheating in Florida again. The exit polls say we're winning, but the machines are saying they are. That scares me.

4. Ignore exit polls, they don't count. Counting counts... |
|
Ignore the exit polls, they are skewed simply because there aren't enough reporters to accurately give samples of the state as a whole. Don't think of giving up yet, you can't. Shrub must love this shit, tossing a few smoke grenades and seeing people head for the hills. This is far from over, major cities haven't even started to come in yet, and any Dem worth their salt knows that the cities is where things will pick up. Ignore the media bias, its crap anyway.

And let's go for a 10 mile run with 60 pound packs after those fajitas and puke 'em up, soldier!!!

5. Not to heap scorn on anybody, Bucky ... |
|
but they're people who believed all the 'Kerry in a landslide' posts.
Wishful thinking.
I'm just hoping it comes down to some state other than Florida as the key state.
And I hope we win.
But like most of us who knew a landslide wasn't happening, the Nownow family also has alternate plans.
Been 'cautiously optimistic' for months, now. I'll hang on to that until it's decided. Whenever that is.
Just like 2000.

They're the same people who panicked at the landslide posts, who panicked at the TANG controversy, who panicked at the bin Laden tape and at every other turn.
