What a difference for years can make. In the last election I was on pins and needles because I was excited. This year I am in knots because of what is at stake.

that's hilarious because i have the opposite experience almost. the last election, i felt so much violent tension around me leading up to it (partly because i was visibly muslim at the time and lived in a different area and due to the polarization and everything surrounding the election, there were times i felt scared to leave my house). this time i feel more hopeful and less terrified.

actually i think it's just mostly that i'm so ready for it to be over.

firegal · 11-06-2012, 12:18 AM

I,m with ya gentle tiger

Knots....yes! Less than 24 hours...Please Please let it be good news!

Our govenors race is a tough one too...the koch brothers invested alot in it.

republican acquaintances on fb are bashing obama for having jay-z at his rally and maybe it wasn't the best political move but...this is today's jam.

tantalizingfemme · 11-06-2012, 05:33 AM

See you all at the polls!!

alexri · 11-06-2012, 05:35 AM

I am terrified today.

Four years ago, I felt the energy. I felt the excitement. You could just feel it. I had friends over for dinner to watch the election results. I went to bed struggling to fall asleep; there was so much enthusiasm, so much hope. There were so many Obama stickers, so many signs, and an incredible level of activism from people of all ages and races.

This time it feels totally different to me. I feel like the energy has been zapped out of many of us. I cringe at the thought of those who are believing the crazy claims coming from the right as truth. I fear a backlash.

I am scared. I can't watch the election coverage today. I feel like I'm watching a horror movie and I need you to tell me when it's over.

I'm off to go vote now. I don't want to look at the news until tomorrow morning.

Exactly how I feel about this year's election!

It makes my skin crawl that the ultra right wing of the GOP has grown so much over the last four years. They give me the impression that they are determined to take away the rights of women and minorities. That's pretty scary stuff.

I wonder how the women and minorities in the GOP can accept and support such a platform. It doesn't make sense.

I also suspect a great many R/R supporters can't explain why they support R/R beyond "He is not Obama."

DapperButch · 11-06-2012, 06:32 AM

I wish I had taken the day off, so that I could watch the coverage all day. Or AT LEAST didn't have a 5:30 meeting. What was I thinking?

At the same time, watching the coverage all day would be a excruciating if it was close.

Gráinne · 11-06-2012, 06:43 AM

All I can say is, if I were Queen of the Country, I would make it so politicians could only campaign for one month before any election. You could do all the debates within that time. I am so burned out on this election, I just want it over with.

princessbelle · 11-06-2012, 07:11 AM

Voting day is booming in this house. I sorta forgot to reset my alarm clock so when i woke up i thought it was 8. I jumped up and made coffee, turned on MSNBC and me and the dogs were bouncing on the couch.

I just KNEW Bully wouldn't want to be sleeping this late in the morning on election day. The babies and myself tried hard to let her sleep, honest!!!! But when i saw the polls they were broadcasting were a little discerning compared to yesterday, i figured i better see if she was still sleeping. We walked in quietly to the bedroom and whispered "Are you awake?" No answer. So, what else could i do? I whispered a little louder..."Are you awake????????" Oh of course she was!!!!

However, it was 7, not 8.

Gonna be a longgggggggggg day.

Kobi · 11-06-2012, 07:37 AM

Im just gonna plop here and wait for the Bulldog updates. Hope there are charts and graphs cuz my non math oriented brain gets visual stuff better.

The odd part about having voted early, is you dont have access to the energy at the polls.....which, considering this is a gop town, is not a bad thing.

Yet, I trust my gut and it is oddly calm given what all is at stake. Not sure if this means everything will be ok, or if it is just numb.

Novelafemme · 11-06-2012, 07:40 AM

I am anxious, nervous, hopeful, worried, etc.

GO'BAMA!!!

Gaige · 11-06-2012, 08:02 AM

I just voted FOR Marylands Civil Marriage Protection Act (House Bill 438). This act amends current law to allow gay and lesbian couples to obtain a civil marriage license. Fingers crossed that this passes.
