EVERYONE STOP FOR ONE MINUTE
The Mainstream media haas been fucking with us for 5 years now at least. what makes anyone think that they'd stop tonight of all nights?

Just relax and watch this unfold. We're gonna win PA, that much I can tell you. The Rethugs are starting to sue here because they know they're doomed. I can't speak for the other states.

Take it easy...

27. Hey, has it occurred to you that we might not have anywhere else to vent?
The stakes are very fucking high. So excuse me for expressing concern. I thought that was part of the purpose of DU in the first place.

2. People are freaked about the possibility of another 4 years
They're expressing their frustration and anxiety, and looking for comfort and reassurance. Take it easy on them.

4. Good point.
And seeing that Bushie states report first, it does seem like everything is red, red, red. But it's not!

6. We've been saying for years that it's gonna be tough
and it will be. anybody think that Wyoming was going Kerry? Well, connect the dots.

We've been kicking around scenarios for months. Now it's time for the performance - only one scenario will play out.

8. media just likes to make things exciting so adds to all
of our nerves by guessing when they don't know for shit what is really happening. Remember last time they called races for the wrong people. They just are all fighting to be the first to say the shit that they say anything.

Don't have an opinion until the fat lady sings when the election is over!

12. Remember:
Their wins LOOK impressive because they've got acreage, which makes the red look more important than it is.

WE have the people... and we have the power of TRUTH on our side.

25. Look at a map of the ELECTORAL votes.
Go to http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/politics/2004_ELECTIONRESULTS_GRAPHIC/index.html
and click on "Electoral votes" at the top. There is more blue than red.

26. Well
The stakes are pretty damn high. The annoying premature projections we're innundated with don't help either.

... off to mainline some more meth.

30. Touchscreen machines in Dem counties
All the Repub counties have optical scan, all the Dem counties have touch screen. Jeb is highjacking the vote in So. FL. with the touchscreen machines. It worked for his run for governor, he's sure it'll work for his brother. I just hope the playing field is more level in PA and OH, that's our and Democracy's only chance.

33. Excellent point, PCIntern! We should all chill!
I'm thinking positive...on my way to a victory party. PCintern is right. The media ALWAYS gives us a jacked up perspective...don't give up hope. It's NOT over yet!
