surprising I'm not really upset. not like I was in 2000.

to be truthfully honest, I thought yesterday was just way too weird to go my way. I just have a feeling that something is going to happen that we will all be laughing our asses off in the future.

I keep bringing up the green bay / washington game, I know it seems silly, but sunday watching that game I just had a feeling that is how the election would go. I don't think that kerry will be put in as president, but you might see a president hastert (not by bush, or chaney getting killed, but maybe resigning). I just have a weird feeling right now.

3. I am

My wife and daughter told me Kerry didn't have a chance...

I sure thought he did...I even felt landslide for a bit...

I was wrong...never argue with the wife and daughter intuition

6. I am too

I feel like a moron, all day yesterday I was happily volunteering as a poll team in total la-la land honestly believing we would win... I am young, naive and heartbroken...

4. It's shock.

Have someone watch you to make sure you don't slip into unconsciousness.

I see purple polka dotted elephants.

5. I'm more upset this time than in 2000.

In 2000 we were caught by surprise. But this year, something is not right. Everything was in Kerry/Edward's favor. I will believe to my dying day that the bushies have stolen this election. They weren't sloppy like in 2000. They cleaned it up.

8. Same here, Despite all the exit polls and Kerry's last minute lift,

I knew these fuckers were planning on stealing it all along. I believe Kerry must have had at least a 5 pt margin in all the polls just to keep it close on D-day. Anything more than 5pts would surely look like fraud. Since they were tied going in, it was lost before it ever really started. Despite the exit polls showing a 4 pt lead for us, and despite our own DNC internals of +4 Florida and +5 Ohio, I knew it was not enough. If we had + 8 or +10, then we would likely have won, but they know they can steal anything at or below 5%.
