Is anybody else really excited about today or just me?
I know the predictions are dire. I know most Democrats in my backward ass state of Oklahoma will lose. I know all of the media have been trumpeting a republican tsunami for the last 6 months. But I am excited and, dare I say it, hopeful. I think many Americans will be voting today and most support our president and democratic ideals. The republicans have showed themselves to be hateful, spiteful and useless for the last two years while the President has consistently showed compassion, thoughtfulness and cooperation. That isn't lost on the average middle of the road voter. All of the Obama bashing has fired up the base and we are not "sitting this one out." The Tea Party pukes are fired up too but there are a hell of a lot less of them than people who support Democratic platforms as evidenced by the pathetic turnout for their rally's and marches as compared to the turnout for the President and Jon Stewart's Rally. We beat them 3 - 1. President Obama is showing support over 50% in recent polls which is much, much better than republicans, the tea party or Sarah Palin.
Get out and vote. Encourage people you know to vote Democratic and keep a stiff upper lip. We could pull this thing off and wouldn't that **** up all the naysayers?

I think this thread may get a load of activity in mere houres. Mortos's world is just going to come crashing down on him. I for one, cannot wait to watch the havoc.

10. I voted at 8:33 this morning
I was voter 164 on 1 of two scanning machines. That is a pretty big turnout for a mid-term election. I think the media predicting a landslide victory for republicans may have fired up Democrats and independents who don't like to be told they are losers before a single vote has been cast. I had a friend I used to work with text me this morning and ask how I voted on every single candidate and state question. I haven't seen anyone I know turn away from Obama and, in fact, one right wing young man has become a born again Democrat and has spent a huge amount of time working on the campaign of Dana Orwig, a Democratic candidate for Congress (I think his right wing parents would have preferred he come out as gay than as a Democrat).
Nope, Mortos is from Bethany or Warr Acres. Not exactly a bastion of liberalism, DUmbass. That large turnout there isn't good for the Dems.

Well, what are the four stages of grief? Denial, anger, bargaining, then acceptance? The left never usually passes stage two when it comes to their religion:
. . .one right wing young man has become a born again Democrat . . .

The only way that will happen is if they pull a Franken. And I would not be surprised .
