I'm a nervous wreck....

... but I have noticed something from the surrogates today that makes me feel better.

The Trump surrogates are just doing their usual bombast.

The Clinton surrogates have a calm confidence. They've seen some internal numbers, and they are feeling confident.

There are 74 pretty reliable Electoral Votes out here on the Left Coast that will definintely be True Blue.

Oh, and it looks good for 4 more from NV, too.

I'm feeling very confident, but I don't want to get too over-confident. Therefore, the angst is still there.

More than anything - if you know of any Dem who has not voted, do your best to get them to the polls!

And capable of going slightly mad. If shit hits the fan tonight in the worst way, I'm going to laugh hysterically while I cry myself to sleep.

I posted in another thread I thought I was the last nervous person.

I'm still terrified that the orange blob could pull this out. I know it's an uphill climb for him, but this has been the most unusual election ever and I'm taking nothing for granted.

The constant talk of Michigan on CNN is adding to my freak out level.

blood pressure is too high, I can't focus on anything, but searching for hopeful news, too early on election day!

I just knew people were going to reject bush. But nope.

I think we'll win, but ready to see that on the vote tote board.

horrible to occur we'll have plenty of time for angst. So for now I'm clicking my heels because we got this.

Try to be calm. Focus on distractions. I'm running errands and then doing data entry for the last round of canvassing/calling/collecting ballots this PM.

The odds are significantly in our favor. We just have to wait it out.

I just want Florida off the table quickly. Waiting for the panhandle might delay things a bit.
