Question 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.

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 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.

Nervous? No.

Petrified.
