more into playing.

... but, tonight I am making an exception! (Mercifully, since I rarely drink I am a really cheap drunk!)

lol.

And I don't drink cuz I get hangovers real bad.

I don't think it is a drink for the hardcore!

I really do. Don't have fear!

It has to do with states that go first. Relax.

Always a good distraction going on but you're still in the DU big house.

Breathe.

I might really need some liquor now...

Tequila would be used with no lime or salt. Because I would just down it.

I was glad to have to go to work today (diversion) now I'm just nervous and so very hopeful... we just have that much more work to do (no matter who becomes President)

Romney and Reps. won't.

pre election gloat thread I saw. Hang in there.

If the President loses, come here.

We will talk about what could have been, move on, and then talk about what we will do in the future.

There is comfort in knowing you are not alone.

we have each other, DU'ers are the best!!!!

I won't be watching returns at all tonight.

Trying so hard to keep it together! My biggest problem is my lack of trust regarding voting! Living in Florida has made me so cynical, but also so sick to my stomach!

CAN NOT WAIT until this is a done deal! If there are no glitches, or more glitches I do believe Obama/Biden will have no problem with winning. I just don't trust the other side! And yes, everyone wants us to shut-up, but it's so hard!

with "We got this one" high fives and thumbs up. What a bunch of nervous nellies they were.

Now ten hours later I'm on the ledge and breaking out in hives. I think I'm reliving the bush elections, like a bad LSD thing.

I cannot relax.

I did a couple of loads of laundry just to keep busy. The clothes are clean and I am still a mess.

We Dems learned the lesson of complacency in the 2010 mid-terms.

We will overcome voter suppression.
We will overcome suspect electronic voting machines.
We will overcome the dirty tricks.
We will prevail.

We will lead this country away from anti-intellectualism, away from radical religion, away from the mis-belief that billionaires care about the working class.

just breathe.

They didn't steer us wrong in '08, and they won't steer us wrong on this most exciting of nights. We're keeping it in "D."

We progressives have each other.

ALL will be a-okay! Believe it.

No matter what happens and I'm dang sure Obama will win. But even if he doesn't, there are some things you just can't fight and have to know when to just let go.

A Hopi Elder Speaks

"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered . . .

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader."

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time!"

"There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly.

"Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, Least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

"The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

"We are the ones we've been waiting for."
