"I'm going to miss this campaign."

[H2O Man]

Chris Matthews, at 7:45 pm est.

Yeah, me too. It's been the experience of a lifetime.

[tekisui]

1. I said that to my wife today,

she I think we all are.

We are living history. As we step back from it, the force will hit us.

[glowing]

2. It's not the end, but the beginning. It's only going to be a ride forward.

[corkhead]

3. I'm not so sure, I want my life back

:7

[Tallison]

18. No shit

It's rendered me a nervous wreck. I forget what life was like before September. I don't want to live with this obsession a minute longer than necessary.

4. I am not going to miss this...

i am sick of the campaign of hate and scare by McShit, polls going up and down, and the talking heads on TV protecting McCain...it's time for Obama to be our leader and bring real change to our country and the world...enough with the campaign!

[Tallison]

19. I agree

It's all so emotionally exhausting.

5. Chris is interrupting and babbling bad tonight though

Amazed I was able to make it through the whole hour.

[LiberalAndProud]

6. Me too.

Some days I try to step outside of the now, to contemplate all of this in an historical sense. I want to save this moment in time.

On the other hand...Tuesday cannot arrive soon enough.

7. Did I just see on the ticker a CBS poll at 53% to 41%?

Holy crap!

[Coexist]

8. Agreed.

It has been amazing. We are already discussing how we will best protect our posters and campaign literature if Obama wins. I think future generations might appreciate it.

[Gregorian]

9. Obama inspiration has only begun.

I'll miss it too. I'm rolling in it.

I don't like football, but I knew Bill Walsh, and I did watch Superbowl 16, and I did drive all around San Francisco that night with a six pack in my 1961 Rambler American. And that was one hell of an experience. This is on a whole 'nuther magnitude.

[Dennis Donovan]

10. It was irritating and exhilarating and frightening...

...what a great time to be a political junkie!:thumbsup:

[housewolf]

11. Chris Matthews LOVES political theater & drama

And this campaign has offered plenty of high political drama and theater, that's for sure! That's what he'll miss about it.

12. Chris, what is the matter with you today!!!

[VolcanoJen]

13. I'm in mourning.

Two more days, tomorrow!!!!

:-(

What am I going to do? I've been reloading The Page and Politico and Marc Ambinder and Balloon-Juice and Andrew Sullivan, like, every hour for a year.

:cry:

[smalll]

14. Don't fret. Two short years from now, candidates will be making their first visits to Iowa -

and we'll be in for another glorious two years of this all over again!

:evilgrin:

[Schulzz]

15. I agree, but I will not start feeling that way before Wednesday. nt

[crossroads]

16. I am too... it's been exciting!

[Raine]

17. I will too but the pay-off is going to be so sweet

that I can live with the campaign being over. :D

[TheDonkey]

20. I will not. I look forward to an Obama presidency and moving America into the future

The FUN is just beginning :)

[Arugula Latte]

21. I'm so excited at the way it turned out.

We got the best of the bunch as our nominee (and I say that as someone who was for Edwards for awhile ... Whew! Glad we dodged that one) and our nominee has performed way above and beyond my most wildly optimistic expectations. Now, he's poised to become Our President.

[VenusRising]

22. Don't worry.

We are going to have to do it again for Obama in 4 years. ;)

[meow mix]

23. not me, the kitchen sink never stopped for a second.

really glad when this is over..

[Orsino]

24. I will remember it fondly, no doubt...

...but I will be glad as hell that it's over. Our real work is not even begun yet, and I'm already tired.

[H2O Man]

25. Two days.

My children and I are getting ready to head out to do some campaigning.
