DU Curmudgeons who refuse to celebrate until it's all over - check in HERE

[DS1]

Yeah, call me a cynic. I've seen the GOP pull ahead at the "last moment" too many times to celebrate this early.

As I said in a reply, I won't celebrate until at least 90% of the votes are in across the board, and they choose Obama.

Still, GOBAMA!

[The Magistrate]

1. If We Have Ohio, Sir, It Is Over

[DS1]

9. I see that, Sir. However, I will not rest until I see over 270 Electoral College votes

after 90% of the vote comes in.

God Speed, Obama!

[cliffordu]

21. Nope - he has 200 with Ohio, and with Ca. Or, Wa and Hi coming down the pike.

Done. Over.

[DS1]

24. I'll choose to wait, thanks

:)

[cliffordu]

27. Shaw nuff!!

[DS1]

32. Alright, Leroy, who is the one and only master?

[RayOfHope]

50. Bruce Leroy! "When I say who's the master, you say Sho 'Nuf" lol. Great movie n/t

[flvegan]

2. Checking in!

I get excited about Fox/CNN et al calling states, but I'll wait to jump around until the fat lady sings.

[blisteringcold]

3. I'm not ready yet either...

I won't let myself to be crushed like I was in 2000 & 2004.

[Catherine Vincent]

4. Present!

I don't trust the republicans at all. Fucking thieves!

[Initech]

10. Once we get CA, OR, and WA, it's fucking over.

I hope they dont try that last minute shit like they did in 2000. I really hope not.

[DS1]

20. I really hope not.

I want it done, sealed, over.

[JI7]

5. but where would they pull ahead ?

i normally wouldn't but the Ohio win gives it to OBama. plus he won New MExico which went red last time.

McCain would need to win 2004 blue states to have any chance now.

[DS1]

11. Ohio isn't all in yet

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Have you not heard the initial notes of the zoftig lady's aria???

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. They stole it twice,

they can do it three times.

I trust nothing until it's over.

That bottle of Ativan is looking better and better....................

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Yo... ain't counting no chickens until they are ready to be cooked

[WilliamPitt]

12. Yo.

[DS1]

41. and congrats, and best of luck to you both, no further message

[Edweird]

13. I remember 2000. It's clear this is a crushing landslide, and therefore

unable to be 'nuanced', but I still prefer to be somewhat reserved until it is 'FINAL'.

[JHB]

14. Here, here!

I'm not getting off the plane until its on the ground and at the terminal.

[2Design]

15. me - checking in - I don't trust the machines, the men, the wh or

any of these repukes, corporations, or their electonic machines - I will waited until it is completely done

[Javaman]

16. Until Obama took Ohio I was still sweating bullets.

I'm getting drunk on glee now. LOL!!!

[ZombieNixon]

17. Yo.

I'm cheering each state, but it's not over until it's Obama 270.

[DS1]

18. and over 90% of the votes are in, for me

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I can't rest either. I remember 2004 with Kerry winning, Karl Rove then went to play

with his computer, and the election was lost.

[DS1]

23. You know it

[havocmom]

25. count me in with you, holding my breath.

How do they call it with such low % of precincts reporting? I do NOT trust elections when the machines can be thrown from afar.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. They are calling them in states with strong exit polls. That's where we got screwed the last time.

Even with a trillion to one chance that the exit polls were wrong, they said the exit polls were wrong after the votes were "counted"

[DS1]

35. They downplayed the hell out of exit polls the last 2 elections

so Bush could win.

We'll see what happens this year.

[havocmom]

36. Yep, TV talking heads don't seem to learn well

So long as SO many areas are working with machines with modems... exit polls mean squat.

[lonestarnot]

22. WE WIN! But I'm waiting for that magic number!

[arcadian]

26. It's ours

And we will win Virginia!

[DS1]

28. Heheh, even Chuck Todd can't believe it

He said it was a blue ink spread from the Northeast, through the Rust Belt, which benefited the Republican Party.

[supernova]

29. You're invited to NC to dance in the streets!

:D

:rofl:

[Oregone]

30. I refuse to celebrate until there is UHC and no wars of aggression

If that never happens, elections are a bit pointless.

[DemoRabbit]

31. Since I remember thinking Kerry was going to win...

I'm bound to be a little gun shy this time around!

[DS1]

33. That's what I'm talking about

[UTUSN]

37. I've waited 8 yrs in a condition of feeling gypped, so I'm waiting till it's OFFICIAL!1 n/t

[DS1]

39. You and me, fellow veteran

[awoke_in_2003]

38. I will relax

on January 20

[DS1]

40. I know the feeling

:hi:

[awoke_in_2003]

48. Hi back at ya!

Call me a cynic, but Bush still got those measures passed that allow him to suspend government in event of national emergency. I don't trust him one bit.

[petronius]

42. Yeah, I'll wait until Jan 20th. (I'll have a bunch of drinks tonight, but

they'll just be drinks, not toasts). Wasn't it 2000 when we went to bed with the election won, and woke up to a bunch of reversed 'calls'?

[DS1]

45. 2000 took a few days

and then the Supremes called it for Bush, because actually 'counting the votes' would 'be damaging to his campaign'

[EFerrari]

43. I know we're going to win but, I want to see the NUMBERS.

We can split this piece of cheese case when CA comes in.

[bdamomma]

44. me too I am waiting also, I will not go through how I felt in 2004

[misanthrope]

46. Present and cautiously optimistic**nm

**

[Blue_In_AK]

47. I'm not celebrating until Mark Begich is Alaska's senator. n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

49. Let Go Of The Past And Embrace The Future. We Won. Let The Tension Go. It'll Feel Good.

I understand caution. But caution need not be there any longer. Release it DS1. Release it. 8 years of pain. 8 years of cynicism. You don't need it any more. I promise you DS1, give my you my word, we have won this time. Hang on to the fear no longer. It is ok. I swear to you it is ok.

WE DID IT!

[DS1]

51. Too late to edit, GO FUCKING BAMA!!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[spanone]

52. it's over, come out
