Paranoids and pessimists! Check in here!!
Man, I've got a bad feeling about Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri. Shit, don't even talk to me about Maryland cause I sure don't wanna jinx that one. Maybe I should be sleeping. I'm not getting any robo-calls. Have they figured me out? No, wait, I'm not in a competitive district. And the machines! What will the machines do? Worry worry worry...

3. I'm remembering the jubilation on election day
2004 when everybody here was SO sure that Bush was gone from the reports of the exit polls.

I don't have any hope that tomorrow will be different.

4. Scared Shitless Here....
I don't want Keith to have to do another "Special Comment" on Wednesday night about how screwed up this country still is for the coming 2 years.

I pray to God that there is an escape from this nightmare. I am fearful that these people are so completely EVIL and devoid of any honesty or decency, that they will do ANYTHING to maintain their control, and win at all costs!

I'm just not sure there's any real way to beat them. I'm worried that my desires to leave the U.S. at some point in the next few years, will be reinforced 24 hours from now, unless we can overtake the obstacle in front of us, and move forward with authority in a new direction, with new possibilites, albeit under a King who will still be in power for 2 years.

5. What is your definition of victory?
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 03:30 AM by WilliamPitt
I never, not once, not ever thought the Senate was within reach.

Victory, for me, is 218 in the House.

Period. Anything else is gravy.

6. Sorry, Pitt, but you're really not getting into the spirit of this thread.
If you can't suffer from a despair bordering on paranoia, then you just don't fit in with my crowd, you, you optimist, you.
