Anyone else just drained, exhausted, and ready for this to be OVER?

I find the energy in here bewildering... Take me out of the oven, because I am DONE.

Sigh...

1. Yep.

I hope it's over tonight. I don't know if I can take anymore of this crap.

3. Today is the first burst of energy Ive had in months to be honest

Its amazing what the prospect of Hillary conceding will do for your energy level. No more shit politics on TV for a bit, until McCain wakes up from his noon nap long enough to take a shot (which Obama will now have the complete authority to address and respond to). Itll be nice. 1.5 years of primary is a bit long...glad its done.

4. I'm not exhausted, just disgusted

at the behavior of some posters here. Rudeness is not called for, and yet we see it time and again. Flame wars are pointless--if you have a valid point, cite sources to prove it.

You know, if your candidate is losing the nomination, why not find out about candidates down ticket you can support? Support them, find articles about them that you can post here. That is using your energy in a positive fashion.

23. Working? Just a little. I'll do more for the GE. I've been on DU, and..

.. the tubes in general, basically from the moment I wake up, till I stumble up to bed. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, I telecommute, and I'm really good at what I do, so I have lots of opportunity to devote time to the important things in life, like reading DU. The GE will probably just be more phone banking for me, since I'm in IL, and it will be a landslide here! We might even have a shot in my district (Weller) this cycle!

11. I was until this morning. I'm finding myself getting more and more excited...

...by the prospect of what is going to happen tonight (and I say this as an Edwards supporter who spent a LOT of time moping and being heartbroken).

I'm excited and even on the verge of tears tonight. Tonight is history.

30. Only a few more hours

Polls close at, what, 9pm Eastern? Sorry, I'm shit at calculating between different time zones. The Clinton campaign is less math-challenged than I am.
