Agreed!

CG, me too. That's exactly what I'm worried about. Pretty much the same thing that happened with the Bush/Gore election.

That the candidate I am not voting for may win. That this country may go way too far in one direction. That they would take away my rights as an individual. That I would not be allowed to stand out as an individual as a result.

Who is they?
I mean, they do still teach in schools, don't they, that the president doesn't enact laws, Congress does? And that the courts can still declare laws unconstitutional?
I just do not understand why people buy into the fear-mongering that goes on (on both sides) in elections like this.

Well, I'm 99% sure my candidate won't win for President...
On a local level, I'm concerned that my state Republican party can't find more credible candidates for national positions. I understand that a few of the Congressmen are well entrenched, and have big followings around here. I still would like to see a real, credible candidate step up, though.

I'm concerned that we're going to have another 2000 election, and this whole thing will last even longer than it already has.

I agree with all of the above. Also that people still think that "Obama is still Islam and we will all be killed if he is elected because he hates us all." I heard that this weekend and ignoring the fact that it would be Muslim instead of Islam.
This election has really brought up my concerns for the intelligence of people and how much they actually trust everything they hear.

I'm tired of all the emails I've been getting from Republicans saying that according to the Book of Revelations, Obama's the Antichrist; that if he wins, he will be the most ungodly president ever; that he went to Afghanistan to visit the troops then ignored them because to him it was only a photo shoot; that he's a Mulsim terrorist; and all the other crap they've been spreading....do they really believe all that?

I hope not! Whenever I hear something like that, a little bit of my faith in humanity falls away.

Just as I suspected...several people in my office who are already bitching aren't planning on voting.

I REALLY dislike those people....
I wouldnt put too much faith in exit polls. Time and again they have been wrong (2004 is a good example).
