Poll question: What am I going to obsess about now?!
In the week before the election, I was checking 538.com, Real Clear Politics, Pollster.com and others every few hours for any fluctuations in the polls.

What the hell do I do now?

1. I've been listening to more music, going through old records

REALLY old records, like George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album

15. Other...
IMHO, it behooves the Dems in both the executive and legislative branches to remember that they DID get a mandate from the American people to do the right (ahem... CORRECT) thing and to not let it get overshadowed by the need to toss olive branches across the aisle.

In fact, the OTHER SIDE should be making the peace initiatives not us.

18. The Obama puppy
Once that is resolved, we can obsess about the inaugural ball gown. Finally we can move on from the election night dress. Then we can worry about where the kids are going to school.

We can also obsess about Biden leaving Delaware for the first time in so many years. Will Delaware survive?

Who will get the Senate seats empty now that the Prez-elect and the VP-elect have moved up?

:rofl:

20. Prospective cabinet members, the financial crisis, obsess over unemplyment numbers
Edited on Sun Nov-09-08 08:32 AM by fujiyama
Sports is a good one. Hey that's how Nate Silver got his start..

I'm at a loss myself. I was wondering aimlessly around my apartment and felt rudderless. It's such a relief but sometimes the anticipation is greater than the victory.

OK, maybe not. The victory kicks ass...Oooooh sweet sweet victory it is.
