We seriously don't know what's gonna happen. Don't raise your expectations too high....it might go either way.


It looks like everyone is already celebrating!

2. Amen--I won't
feel truly secure about this until I see John Kerry take the oath of office on Inaguration Day! That's how little I trust these repukes.

You're spot on. This can't be posted too often. Chill, folks. We can celebrate when and if we actually win.

8. I've been begging people to stop all afternoon
It's tightening up already and no OFFICIAL results have been announced yet (that I am aware). Many haven't voted yet out west.

Any lurkers who haven't voted - VOTE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. He has been doing that
I can vouch for that, because I've been right behind him. There are a few of us trying to keep people from getting too carried away. Premature boasting can be "bad karma." I'm not saying it will come back to bite us in the ass, but stranger things have happened. I don't think I need to remind anyone of what happened in 2000, when they called Florida for us before they called it against us. Talk about a flip-flop...

But I'm VERY hopeful. We are looking good. The only thing I am saying is let's not get carried away YET.

25. Thank you - I am very cautious right now
There is an anti-Kerry spin effort going on and we need to be strong and stick to our guns.

11. If it goes Bush at this point...
...they've got war on their hands. No way he pulls a win without stealing it.

14. You may be right but
we still got to GOTV! Lurkers, DUers, who haven't voted, Go, Go, Go. Let's make this a landslide for Kerry and Edwards.

13. Absolutely RIGHT.
The early indications are exciting, but we have to resist the urge to get carried away. Overconfidence is a killer. There's plenty of reason to be positive, but there's no reason to celebrate a result before that result exists.

Lots of reason to smile, but no reason to start shouting from the rooftops yet.

20. Screw it. Let's celebrate.
If they end up stealing it, it'll just make us more pissed at 'em. Besides, what can it hurt to say what we all know is the truth: America does not want aWol in the Whitehouse.

And even if they do somehow temporarily steal it, at least we will have the next few hours to feel good again. Lord knows I feel pretty damn good.

Celebrate. We got those B*sh Bastards.

26. I agree!
I'm about ready to turn off the computer until after the results are in. It's a tight race and I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.
