Nervous?
 

just curious as to whether or not you are nervous if "your" candidate will win......no matter if you're for kerry or bush.....are you nervous or secure in your candidate's winning ability.....and why? it's only a few days away, afterall.........

If the polls can be believed, both major sides should be nervous.

i am nervous. i hope that my choice will win. i do not want to reveal who that is. but the fact that the election is 3 days away makes me very anxious.

All this is making me anxious .... Its down to the wire and
the numbers are in a dead heat and are just to close to call on either side. I am nervous when you go to bed tuesday night and you think pretty sure it will be one way and it turns out the other way won out.....I think they drag the elections out way to long. I know they have a lot of ground to cover but come on this gets nerve racking and exhausting ON THE VOTER.

I almost don't care anymore.

The election has gotten so nasty, with hate and vitriol spewing from both sides.

No, I am not nervous. Bush will win but even if Kerry(the new Jimmy Carter) wins I will still have a job. You still have to work hard, have marketable skills and send your kids to school. Dems will never get it. They will be sitting at home drinking 40's. There are only so many government jobs for Kerry to give out to the illiterate.

I know my mom is probably turning over in her grave at me saying this, but I passed "almost" a while ago. The election and Halloween are both on my nerves and I just want them to be done.

I gotta feeling that it's gonna be a knock-down-drag-out fistfight on November 2nd... and it ain't gonna be a decisive win for either Bush or Kerry. Don't be surprised if it goes to the courts... again!

Yes.

I think that we won't know who won until at least Thanksgiving.

I'm feeling strangely optimistic and at peace. I didn't feel like this in 2000, but then, I didn't vote for either of the major candidates. This time around I just have faith that the American people will do the right thing.

I'll be spending the evening with Democrats Abroad at a pub in Vancouver (the Wolf and Hound on W. Broadway @ Alma, in case anyone wants to join us). It'll be nice to be around some more Americans during this evening. I imagine it'll be a very emotional one.

Agreed.

Unless one side wins by a lot -- which doesn't look like the case, considering the polls -- we won't know for quite a while.

I've been nervous for weeks, months even. But given the numbers at the polls (and the fact that in 2000 the major polling organizations underpolled youth and minorities quite a bit, resulting in an election that was much closer than the polls predicted -- and the fact that the same polls made no alterations in their polling methods between 2000 and 2004) . . . and given what I've seen going right for Kerry in the past month or so -- I've figured he's done the best that he can and the rest is up to America.

not nervous... terrified is a better word.

Not nervous at all because the more things change, the more they remain the same.

Hi, way to make broad, sweeping generalizations.

People like this are the reason I can't wait for this damn election to end. :rolleyes:

Nervous? No.

Petrified. :eek:

I'm nervous because the most common reason of heard of why people support either bush or kerry is because they are the lesser of two evils. :(

I'm a wreck. AND I have campaign fatigue like never before.

Someone wake me up on December 1st, when we have a winner.

Ditto to ADqtPiMel.

I'm nervous. Nervous that if Bush wins, I will not have job. See, I worked hard put myself through undergrad and now grad. I'm literate, and never drank a 40 in my life.

But I decided to enter the envrionmental field. And I won't sell my soul to anyone(republicans/oil companies/etc) and say things like: If we open the forests to be selectively cut, then there won't be as many forest fires. Bush doesn't like the envrionment very much; in fact, they got rid of it in Texas.

I am very nervous. And nervous that I'll end up in a fight with someone.

During the 2000 elections on campus some girl who obviously didn't bath or comb her hair got up in my face and told me I was going to hell if I voted for George Bush and called me a rich bitch. So I threw my fountain coke on her.

I'm carrying a water gun to class tomorrow. Yes I"m very grown up about situations like this. :)

Wow! I don't know if I should be shocked or laugh. I am so glad this kind of stuff doesn't happen to me. Try to stay away from this dirty girl. Actually, she should stay away from you and your coke. :p ;)

I'm not nervous, because the American people won't let an asshat like him be right.

well, i will admit that i am a little nervous.....from the stand-point that there will be an over-flow of ppl who listen to what ben affleck, p. diddy, or dave matthews are saying/who they are voting for without really figuring out what is going on and what they REALLY agree with. that makes me nervous.....

i like to think the basis of both parties are good and have positive intentions.....but both parties like to play up the negative aspects and stereotypes. republicans being old rich white guys with nothing to do but run away from taxes, and democrats being some uneducated crack head living off the people's tax money. yes, some repubs are old rich white guys, but some are not. and yes, some dems are uneducated crack heads.....but i'm a repub and am neither old, rich, or a male.....and GP up there is neither uneducated or a crack head (that we can prove, anyway ;) ). i think that W is still the man this country needs b/c we know he will defend this country, he will fight back, and he won't back down to haters. kerry....well, we know his wife has money and that his running mate is a cutie......that's about it. :cool:

prayin hard tonite that W wins.

This here is a fact!

Probably the most truthful fact out of this entire election.

Nervous?
Let me tell you what I am nervous about: not getting to the polls early enough where I am either a) late for work or b) don't get to vote at all.

And yeah... I waited til the last minute to research all the crazy Cali measures and propositions. I only know how I am voting on two of them so far...perhaps that's all they'll get.

I feel like I am cramming for a major exam.

400 polls
 

I heard today that there have been about 400 polls concerning this election (the most ever by far), and all of them have reported that the two candidates are nearly tied (and within the margin of error - what ever that is).

Even if Kerry wins, the Republicans will control the House and Senate, so none of Kerry's liberal judges will be approved.

In GA, there is almost no close race to worry about.

A long way
 

Slate's Robert Wright sums up the attitude, saying of Kerry:

"He's a long way from being the Messiah, but at least he's not the anti-Christ."

I agree.

I'm not knowledgable in that court-area... but was 2000 the first time that has ever happened?

I think it will happen again b/c there is so much more happening now then there was 4 years ago...

... not to mention all those crazy people who listen to Britney Spears.... ;)

very nervous:(

There have been extremely long lines at the voting polls in New York. My boyfriend voted at 6:30 AM and there was a line, but it moved quickly. I will go vote later this afternoon.

I'm nervous that there will be riots or something if there is contention over who won. I feel like we are sitting on election history to expect another decision to be made in the courts.

lol....true. <hangs head in shame over any resemblance to bratney spears way of thinking> :o

:D

:(

I honestly don't think my life will change a whole lot based on which of these two guys is President. At least not in the next 4 years. Until I'm through with my education, I'll be in a fairly low tax bracket, so none of the Kerry tax hikes will effect me. My boss, however is in the top tax bracket, so I may not get a raise this year or something like that... Who knows?

I know that 10 years from now when I'm in one of the top tax brackets, I'll be royally pissed if I'm paying 50% federal income tax.

That's because you are male.
