I sure am. I'm going to be a nasty winner, then tell the repukes that they are welcome for me looking out for their own best interest even if they wouldnt.
I predict the election will be called for Obama on Nov 6th at 7:01PM EDT.
I'm gonna brag, gloat, pour bubbly all over myself just as though I have won the World Series when I celebrate the news calling the race for Obama at 7:01 PM on Nov 6th.
Come on, vote, GOTV, protect the vote, then party like an asshole on Nov 6th.

(14,624 posts)I really want to help PBO and all our Democratic leaders effect some REAL change while we have the opportunity. We need to work together to get this done. I would rather win them with honesty, kindness and compassion than defeat them with humiliation.

(7,290 posts)Not impossible to know the results of Florida before all the polls close, but I won't count on it.

(13,616 posts)Because many in America equal kindness for weakness. We extened a hand to them, and got bitten. Part of the reason I intened to remain an asshole for the forseeable future is to warn O. that while I was his friend during the election, that same fury can flatten him if he thinks he can go to the right, even though Hillary is trying to lure him that way with Mid east policy.

(12,530 posts)...so there won't be much gloating to do there.
There are some halfwits on Twitter I'd love to find after the election, but Twitter kind of streams out behind you and doesn't lend itself to long-game gloating. But yeah, when I get the chance, I'll rub it in, at least a little.
