Compare this place to Freeper Land...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/browse

Most of their topics look like big, big denial:

If Bush wins Florida, he can still lose Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Minnesota, and still win if he carries Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado and Hawaii. 270-268.

Look at the other posts, & compare to this particular forum.

Either we seem to have the mojo (which I think is true now), or we are in deeper denial than they are.

Frankly, I think we know and they don't...yet.

1. Oh, I think they know.

They just can't admit it yet.

3. They all report the massive turnouts but...

they don't comment on what that probably means.

Although every single voter over there has said, like DUers, that the lines are awe-inspiring, they neglect to say that this indicates they are going to get their asses kicked!

Deep deep denial.

2. They are stupid

If Bush losses Ohio, Wisco, New Hamp and Minnesota...HE AINT winning Iowa, New Mex and Hawaii...

If Bush gets swept away early this evening, chances are that is a trend that young people are voting, our GOTV is better, and people are genuinely pissed at Bush and are excited about Kerry.

That feeling won't exist in Ohio, Wisco, PA, New Hampshire, etc...and suddenly vannish in Iowa. Come on.

4. Actually some discussing an exit poll

But I agree with our moderators that no exit polls should be posted or discussed here (although it was pretty damn funny).

5. I think we are just better prepared for any possible outcome

We are staid and true to our cause, because our cause does not rest in the hands of one person. They live by Cult of Personality and rely upon a singular entity to promote their cause. At this point, the Cult of Personality of the Republican party means if their leader falls, their party falls. They have so much more riding on this election than we do, though we just don't want to have another 4 years of fighting in the trenches. But we will if we have to and in the process, it will destroy the Republican party completely.

NOT MAKING THIS UP!

Ummm... he was at an Oyster Restaurant! The oldest established restaurant in the US.
He says it like it's SO unbelievable that he has to assure his inbred friends that it's true.
