This is as in the bag as anything can be. It's just a matter of how big of a win it will be. Go vote and don't worry about it.

The Democrat won by 6%. The race was over an hour and a half after the poll closed. Let's hope that the President close out Romney early.

i havent seen anything change, once getting beyond the media fluff to continue a race that was won a while ago.

What will be will be. There is NOTHING you can do to change it. Read the polls. Short of massive voter fraud, Mitt is going down. If we have GOP voter fraud on that scale, we've got bigger things to worry about.

I'm going to sleep very well tonight, and go vote early tomorrow morning. I'm going to stop watching the news, which will be all wank all day, and check returns by around 8 PM.

That would be ELECTION fraud, committed by GOP election officials, not VOTER fraud, and yes, it is the only way R can "win".

We KNOW their machinez are flipping votes, we have gotten reports of this from all over.

If we have GOP voter fraud on that scale, we've got bigger things to worry about.


If they can do that, our democracy is effectively over.


I voted a week and a half ago.

The voter suppression is an issue but what I have read here and other places is the win will have too much of a margin for the repubbies to steal it. Let's stay positive.. Not resting won't help!!

I just finished watching Rachel, and her graphics about the decrease in Dem early voting from 2008, left me feeling sick with worry.

not by a long shot.
But as I said in a different thread...if Obama loses, it will be due to the GOP and their cheatin-ass ways.
And we won't take it sitting down.

The memories of 2000 and 2004 still haunt me, I guess. I wouldn't put anything past romney. Those voting machines in OH and the long lines in FL both worry me.

I guess some of us are just worriers, while others are cool, calm and collected! LOL

I'm haunted by those memories, the GOP are a bunch of snakes who will do any and everything to win.

is what Michael Moore just advised. The republicans will be out there voting tomorrow in droves, and just because we are up in Nate's charts tonight, that can change.

. . . is all the expressions of confidence that all will be just fine. I don't know how anybody can be sure of that. I certainly hope they're right, but to be so sure? I just don't get it. Are people so superstitious that they think they'll jinx it if they allow any fears of GOP tampering to enter their minds?

That's how come I don't feel nervous. When my heart starts to race, as it did in '10, I somehow know rethugs would win. It's not racing now.

Keep calm and VOTE!

I hope that Eric Holder has been so quiet because he has laid a trap for the voting machine manipulators. It would cap the election for me if he catches them "Red" handed, reconstructs the true vote beyond reasonable doubt, and buses the criminals to jail.

Florida is in President Obama's column as of late tonight!


That really helped settle my nerves. I'm sleeping better tonight and really looking forward to tomorrow.

To borrow a phrase from Alan Grayson -- Courage!
