2. Nope.

[pnwmom]

11. Haven't we learned anything from history? Of course the election could

be lost due to fraud and vote purging, just as it was lost in 2004.

Just as Max Cleland lost after an unbelievable 12 point swing in one day.

This isn't over till it's over. And no one should be complacent.

[pnwmom]

14. delete.

[cliffordu]

15. Did you just answer your own post???

:rofl:

[pnwmom]

30. No, I tried to answer someone else but put it in the wrong place.

But I'm glad if it made you happy.

[cliffordu]

34. It really tickled me cause I've done the same thing.....heh.

[pnwmom]

38. Anything for a tension reliever! Can you imagine how we'll all feel on Wednesday?

I hope.

I hope.

I hope.

[cliffordu]

39. Me too.. I hope I hope....

[FrenchieCat]

3. I don't think so......

and if he does, there will be hell to pay in too many ways to count.

[cliffordu]

19. I think they understand that, finally

There would be YEARS of very real trouble....It would shatter the country.

[ColbertWatcher]

4. I don't think Obama can lose it; I think if anything the GOP will try to steal it. n/t

[WCGreen]

5. Anything can happen...

But be comforted in the fact that so many of our voters are heading to the polls early in order to make sure their vote will count...

This time is different...

This time we have a star with the wind of history at his back...

[Kazak]

6. Not taking anything for granted...

but all I can to at this point is vote, which I think I'll try to do tomorrow.

[lonestarnot]

7. This thread my be comforting.

[lonestarnot]

18. Good!

:hi:

[tularetom]

9. I've spent all evening trying to talk Mrs. Tom down

Now I just wanna work on this bottle of Jim Beam.

Relax. I'm not sure even a MIHOP could swing it for them now.

[kanrok]

10. No.

Go to sleep and wake up Wednesday. Drink two bottles of wine. Go back to sleep. Repeat if necessary.

[Liberal In Texas]

12. No. They might steal it. But NO.

He is not going to lose.

Actually, he's already won. I heard the Secret Service has already changed his code name to 44.

13. Go to the CNN electoral map calculator . . .

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/calculator/

Give every possible on the cusp state to mccain (they are the orangish ones and include Ohio and Florida). See what happens.

[fulllib]

28. Eactly!!!

According to that, Obama doesn't even need PA!!!

[LisaLynne]

16. I wish I could tell you for sure ...

but right now, there is just no way to know. I really wish there were!! But, hey, it's looking good and we'll know in a few days! I'm getting out and volunteering tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend. At least I'll be able to say I did all I could!

[bobd0]

17. THE ONLY WAY BARACK CAN LOSE IS IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T GET OUT AND VOTE!!!

SO GET OUT AND VOTE!!!

[glinda]

24. We must keep him safe if he wins

We need him. We need help in this Country.

[otohara]

20. Turn off TeeVee

Like Obama says - besides those cute kids in your sig line might suffer long term psychological damage from all the garbage spewed about good American's, bad American's

[fulllib]

21. Five words - Obama doesn't believe in losing.

At this point in 2004, the polls were tight, hovering around 51% TO 48% in favor of Bush. Right now, Obama has anywhere around a 10% lead. Look at these:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/bush_vs_kerry_sbys.html


All early voting has him with a 10% lead. From all reports, his ground game far surpasses MCCain, 4000 offices throughout the country, excitement among the workers.

I saw a post here earlier about how Obama's legal team is all over the legal aspects of Tuesday, and far superior to what Kerry had in 2004.

GOTV!!

22. Has the fat lady sung yet? I have not heard her. It looks like it is in the bag, but until she has

sung, not yet. I hear her warming up though.

25. No. And by "No", I mean "No, I will not talk either one of you down".

[Burma Jones]

26. Sure he can, if folks get complacent

[pleah]

27. The only way McAsshole can win is to steal the election! n/t

[WA98296]

29. Lose, as when something is stolen? Then, yes.

[HughBeaumont]

31. Here be another good one.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=7678744#7680700

Worst case scenario, as fantastic and as brazen as it may be, will STILL wind up with McCain on the losing end.

[cobalt1999]

32. Yes, but open a bottle of wine.

It'll help with the nerves.

[demosincebirth]

33. I'm just like you, but I'm starting to breathe a Little easier, now.

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. He will win and Rachael can be a downer. I do like her, but she is a bit of a

pessimist with regard to this election.

[Hekate]

36. Shhhh. Take it easy. Our Guy has everything under control that is humanly possible...

Print this pic out and tape it by your computer. It helps. :hug:

41. LOL, love the pic. Chillin n/t

[Joe Collins]

37. Obama's aunt

Do you think tonight's AP news that Obama's aunt is here in the US illegally and living in publically subsidized housing in Boston is going to sway independent voters?

[FM Arouet666]

40. YES YES YES He could still lose this.

I am sick, as in my bowels are moving feeling like throwing up sick sick sick. Remember 2000? How about 2004? I am too afraid to think that Obama could actually win this. Every time I pause to daydream about Nov 4 and a Obama victory I am immediately confronted with the possibility of defeat and just how crushing a blow it would be.

Sorry, I know you want to be talked down but I am FREAKING too.

Tell everyone you know to vote, email, call, offer to drive them to the polls, anything and everything to defeat complacency. VOTE VOTE VOTE.

Time for a drink. Ohhhh, hope that helped.....

[silverojo]

42. Hello, Rachel!

I didn't know MSNBC's favorite concern troll had an account here. :rofl:

[Donald Ian Rankin]

43. Of course. We won't know whose won until Guy Fawkes night.

The odds appear to favour Obama, but there's still plenty of time for Murphy's Law to kick in.
