[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. motivated, then?

[struggle4progress]

33. just don't wanna hear Romney and the Mixed Nuts sing for four years

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. the confident votes are calming my anxiety

so thanks for that

[SubgeniusHasSlack]

4. republickcons will be in shock

when this avalanche of rationality washes away their relentless, reality denying demagoguery.

This is a huge turning point for America and The World away from irrational tribalism towards a necessary unity of humanity.

The Waves of Change are washing humanity's consciousness clean.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. Bored. Romney's snowball has already melted and he's on his way to the "also ran" column.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. your mouth to the electorates ears

[Liberalynn]

6. I picked all of the above

I believe the President will win, but I don't want to take anything for granted.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. agreed

[Initech]

7. I think Rmoney threw the election away when he said he wanted to cut FEMA.

In the middle of one of the biggest storms we've ever seen.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. people love small government, till they realize what small govt really means

[Initech]

13. Yup. I call it "I've got mine so fuck you" syndrome.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. it's exactly what it is

and a general belief that nothing bad will happen to you.

[onehandle]

8. Like we won over a year ago. This election is about the House. That's why Boner is invisible.

Vote downticket.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. yeah, where is boner?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. All of the above! It depends on my mood at the time...

Normally, I'm confident.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. LOL

i agree. i was kinda sad that no one addressed global warming, i usually shuttle between anxiety/nervousness and confidence

glad its ending soon, it's an emotional roller coaster

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. I wish they'd talked about global warming too...oh well.

And I also agree with being glad it'll be over soon. I'm really tired of all of this!

[Grammy23]

18. Cautiously optimistic, which was not one of the listed choices.

So I chose confident. I really am feeling more confident but with a slight note of caution since I do think that there is still plenty of time for shenanigans to take place. But all in all, I am at a good place right now and am planning to spend Tuesday night celebrating Obama's victory. Oh and more than anything else, watching Mittens and Lyin' Ryan have to concede. That is going to be one sweet moment!!! I can't believe I wrote that, but in some respects, I am just as excited about the concession speech as I am when they declare Obama the winner. Romney has been so despicable and smug so watching his campaign crash and burn is sweet revenge. The Party for Obama's victory can then begin in earnest.

25. added this option

[PowerToThePeople]

19. stoic

I have cast my vote. Will canvas this weekend. Have made multiple donations. I will see what happens. Not going to get all worked up over it.

[Xyzse]

20. Sorry to say, but I am just tired of it.

I want it over, with Romney going the way of Palin.
Well, Palin has been a non-entity for at least a few months now, so I am hoping the same fate for Willard.
I already find the name Willard creepy as is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310357/
Romney just made it worse.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. LOL

[JI7]

21. mostly Confident , but not enough considering the memories of 2000 ,2004

and everything i hear the republicans are trying to do now. and romney's lies and the media not only letting him get away with it but supporting him for it.

romney just seems like a sleazy person who would do anything to "win".

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. 2004 i had zero confidence though i loved kerry

[JI7]

31. i feel much better at this point this time than in 2004

the problem with 2004 for me is that on election day the numbers were going Kerry's way and they really thought they were going to win. i was feeling good at that point also. it was around the middle of the day.

but then something happened in ohio.

anyways it's that feeling. i also think McCain as nasty as he can be still has a certain decency in that he would not steal votes or even do anything prior to election day which could discourage voters even if he knows they will not vote for him.

this was not the case with BUsh and even less so with ROmney.

[slutticus]

22. Cautiously optimistic

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. added this option

[CTyankee]

27. I'm confident. I did some research on factors that do/do not influence outcomes of

prez campaigns back when I was worried sick about Obama's first debate performance. I learned a lot. I learned that such factors as a rising stock market and rising confidence levels and excellent ground games are major factors. Add to that the weather/storm factor which no one was expecting (but one that has real election campaign effects!) and you have a solid reason to feel good about Obama.

Actaully, I think this thing has been essentially "over" for a while now.

[AtomicKitten]

28. There is no question these assclowns are going to try to steal it.

They just haven't factored in that we aren't going to let that happen.

I am anxious to bury these clowns on Tuesday and move on.

[Quantess]

29. Anxious,

but then, I have a tendency toward anxiety coupled with a tendency towards depression, which is something I deal with on a daily basis. We're not talking about my feelings? Okay then,

Aside from potential, major-ass-cheating-voter-fraud, Obama's gonnaa win.

[FightForMichigan]

30. Anxious is what I do!

Logically, I think things are looking good for us in the presidential race.

But boy howdy, am I ever making use of my Xanax prescription these past few weeks.

[GoneOffShore]

32. Confident but not crazy with it.

[Bucky]

34. A little horney, actually.

Elections do that to me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. lol

[CheapShotArtist]

36. Cautiously optimistic.

I know that Pres. O is probably going to win. But the thing that puts a damper on the parade is that it's not looking likely for Dems to regain control in the House, which means he probably won't be allowed to get much done for at least 2 more years...

[Ruby the Liberal]

37. Can I attempt to lift your anxious mood?

Here is the map with CO and IA, but *NOT* Ohio, NC, VA or Florida:

Click around on a few states to change the map. POTUS has a LOT of paths to this thing.

38. thanks ruby!
