WHAT ARE YOU FEELING?

[UndahCovah]

Confident? Optimistic, pessimistic, nervous, chill? Do you think we got this or is Mr. Money gonna actually pull it off?

How are you all feeling about this? I'm personally one big bundle of nerves, I've voted and there's really not much else I can do!

[Mad_Dem_X]

1. Cautiously optimistic.

I'm pretty sure Obama is going to get the 270 electoral votes, but I'm not celebrating just yet.

[RhettScarlett]

35. I am sick to my stomach

I can't take the pressure and i'm not sure what I'm going to do if we don't win. Is this really a country I want to live in if that's the guy they want as President?

Am i alone in this? Sometimes I feel like I am.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Apprehensive as all shit.

I keep remembering that all those polls only asked the opinions of actual people.

It's the voting machines that need to be surveyed.

[Iris]

3. Bundle of nerves as well

Have been extremely optimistic all week but am now fearing 2000-level disappointment

[RebelOne]

28. Same here.

Local news said that the results would probably not be broadcast tonight. I will probably not be able to sleep if that is the case.

[RhettScarlett]

36. It's not who votes...

it's who counts (and / or recounts) the votes that matters.

[Enrique]

4. recklessly optimistic

[jschurchin]

5. Confident!!!!!!

what other emotion is there??

[RhettScarlett]

39. Ummm

Angst?
Agita?
Panic?
Fret?
Worry?

I'm just glad I live in New York. I won't have to hear about it everywhere I go if we lose.

[graham4anything]

6. OBAMA WINS!!! 100% positive. Never felt surer than anything.Now it's onto 2014/16 for DemPres.Ms45

[liberal N proud]

7. I don't like roller coasters

[quinnox]

8. sleepy

[bdamomma]

9. I am at work right now

and very nervous about outcome. Hearing about voter suppression is getting to me, and I live outside of the country.

[Guilded Lilly]

10. Nervously optomistic

[Johnny2X2X]

11. Anxious

I just want it to be over.

I am confident, but man, it's hard to watch still.

[Melinda]

12. Massive anxiety...it's like menopause all over again, just 100x worse.

[WeekendWarrior]

13. Fully confident that Obama will win in a landslide.

[ohheckyeah]

14. Wishing I had a Valium. n/t

[lilithsrevenge12]

21. Haha! If you find any be sure to share! n/t

[ohheckyeah]

30. will do....wish I had some

"special" brownies for everyone!

[Smuckies]

15. Nervous. Does anyone know what time exactly should the final results be in? I live in Egypt..

And want to set my alarm to check in. Am 7 hours ahead of Eastern Time. Anyone?

[Yooperman]

27. Smucklies...

The are estimating that a winner will be able to be determined by around midnight Eastern Standard Time.... that would make it early tomorrow morning for you.

[Smuckies]

40. OK THANKS =)

[jberryhill]

16. Had a root canal re-done yesterday

You don't want to know how I'm feeling.

[Amy6627]

17. Calm. n/t

[Avalux]

18. Can't concentrate on work, but I feel GOOD.

I feel that Obama (and America) will win. This is the most important election of our lifetime, IMHO.

[DawgHouse]

19. Like the night before Christmas.

I'm pretty confident that Santa's coming and I hope he thinks I've been really good!

[Dems to Win]

20. ANGRY. Very angry! Corruption and fraud in Florida and Ohio may determine who my president will be

Disgusting!!!

If we can't expel Florida and Ohio from the USA, we should at least disallow their participation in national elections until they can hold honest and fair elections.

[arthritisR_US]

22. I have no doubt your President's got the votes, I am just very nervous that they be counted or that

they just don't get majically flipped or lost.

[Yooperman]

23. Very confident! :-)

I think we will do well in across the board... congress..senate and 4 more years of Obama. The republicans will be dumbfounded how they could have done so poorly....

YM

[socialindependocrat]

24. I voted and I'm confident but I'm really agitated today

I'm happy I voted

There is a post about polls that says most polls agree that Obama will win with 342

For some reason I am encountering all these little glitches today that are pissing me off.

At the polls, the attendant put me in the booth and didn't turn on the machine
Mispricing at the store
Clerks that were not knowledgable
Simplified procedures at the Post Office that are really more complicated.

and finally...

hearing all this crap about the Ohio Sec of state still tampering with the voting machines
and no one is doing anything to get him locked up or put in a straight jacket.
Ohio has nme on edge
I read a book called Fire Breathing Liberal by FL Rep RobertWexler who states that Bush stole the election and still we went thru 8 years of his crap and now we are in this financial/job mess.
Nobody corrected the situation and it was all considered politically "legal"
We have a corrupt system and nobody is correcting it.

Very professional!

We vote people into office who are egocentric enough to run for office
and who get bought out by the wealthy who tell the elected officials what ot do and say.
Great system!

See? I'm happy I voted but every thing is so F%^&ed up


HEY! You asked!

[Bladian]

25. Sick.

This is my first Presidential election as an adult. I don't even want to watch the coverage.

[UndahCovah]

26. I'm just really nervous

Because I live in a republican enclave in an otherwise very blue state, I got to the polling place 11 minutes after it opened, nad the place was PACKED. Lines winding all around and out the door, a LOT of people with Romney/Ryan buttons in line. Seriously, I've never seen the place more packed during an election, and this place is way out in the countryside, not usually a busy place. It wasn't just people all there way to work -- there were old people, families, individuals...

I know logically that I live in an idiotville part of my state, but it still gave me pause to see how energized the repugs seem to be. I'm really looking for reassurance/confirmation that this thing is going our way!

We've got to win this.

[nonconformist]

29. Nervous but optimistic

Did I mention nervous?

[SaveAmerica]

31. a tingle running down my leg...

[slackmaster]

32. A bit annoyed at my co-worker who is eating an apple at his desk

He's chewing with his mouth open.

[UndahCovah]

45. LOL Touche n/t

[Savannahmann]

33. Wary

Wary of a stolen election. Wary of the Tea Bagger's and their insurrectionist blather, that it might be more than blather. Wary of the millions of assault weapons that are on the street since President Obama took office. Wary of what the light of day may bring, because I just don't think the Rethugs are going to be satisfied with obstructionism in the second term. Wary of the Tea Baggers and their tendency to over-react and grow violent at the slightest perceived provocation.

[southern_belle]

34. lots of anxiety

that the thugs will steal the election. I need a valium!

[demwing]

37. Totally unlike 2010

I felt put off by what I believed to be unwarranted enthusiasm, and a weighted down with a general uneasiness.

The only reason I feel any nerves today is because the stakes are so high, other than that:

Obama leads in the early electoral count
Obama leads in the early vote turnout
Obama leads in the national polls
Obama leads in the battleground polls
Obama leads in all the prognostication methods
Obama has a 50+% job approval rating
Obama has a 50+% favorable rating
And ALL the recent movement in these numbers has been toward Obama

So yeah, I feel pretty fucking good

[Donkees]

38. Calm and confident :)

[dinger130]

41. Emotional Roller Coaster

I just got on Social Security at age 62.
My son is a schizophrenic. Mental health system sucks.
My daughter is a teacher in Florida....need I say more.
My husband has had two heart attacks and no insurance....too expensive. He's 63.
My mother is very ill and is on Medicare.

Lots of issues for me in this election.

[Bake]

42. Optimistic. Even confident.

I think we got this.

I'M FEELING IT!! (But with a side of caution ...)

Bake

[AndyTiedye]

43. Resignation

Looks like the fix is in for good now in Ohio. We took them to court and lost.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251221455

We also have vote-flipping machines in PA, FL, and TX (at least).

http://myrtv.eu/ytvi/

Goin' for the rum.

[HopeHoops]

44. D'OH! I thought you meant my wife.

[Neoma]

46. Excitement and jittery...

[LadyHawkAZ]

47. Cautiously confident

I think we've got this.

[nadinbrzezinski]

48. Not counting chickens

All data points to an Obama victory, quite frankly my mayoral race is far more on edge.

[onecent]

49. optimistically challenged because of your concern!

[WCGreen]

50. I am stuffed right now....

Ate the last dregs of one of those huge bags of Life Cereal from COSTCO and I even tipped the bowl, much to the chagrin of my milk loving cats, to drink all that sweet, sweet stuff.

You know, getting ready for a great night of watching those states turn blue and the Mitt Romney turn red....

[cherish44]

51. Took a Xanax so I feel great

Voted at 6am, went to work, got home from work (resisted to urge to Xanax for 8 hours). Am now going to CHILLLLL. Feeling optimistic about the Presidential elections. The congressional elections not so much but all is good

[peachpie2]

52. Nervous...but excited...

Took the day off to work the phones for the campaign in MI and now spending all my time between house work and DU. I have ALOT of nervous energy...

[renate]

55. welcome to DU!

[peachpie2]

61. Thanks!!!

Long, long time lurker...wanted to participate in the celebration tonight...

[WCGreen]

59. I feel more confident about this race than I have since I ran an election for a man

who was an underdog in the County Commisioners job here in Cuyahoga County. I knew we would win and I know we will win tonight.

[Kaleva]

53. Feeling confident about Obama

Senator Stabenow ought to win re-election easily but about all the local races are very tight.

[LiberalElite]

54. I'm feeling like praying

[maryellen99]

56. nervous but cautiously optimistic nt

[renate]

57. I feel like I might get my head bitten off if I say I'm worried about GOP dirty tricks

... but I am.

That's my only worry, though. If this really does turn out to have been a free and fair election (pause for laughter), I'll feel silly for have spent a minute fretting. But since the GOP is determined, and utterly without conscience, I am nervous.

[Beringia]

58. Feeling anticipatory

Trying to send positive vibes for Obama to win.

And it would be even better if he won by a big margin, so the talking heads who said they are dead even, will be so wrong, especially the ones who get paid to skew the predictions.

[Amaya]

60. confident

[krawhitham]

62. like a roller coaster

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

63. Nervous and anxious, especially now that I live on Pacific Standard Time

I'm waiting for numbers, actual data. I keep checking my twitter feed and DU. I have a good feeling that Nevada will be in Obama's column.

The Ritalin is making it worse. Today should be a day off - I just can't seem to concentrate on work.

[ivanincali00]

64. Confident!

But I also feel a little sad because some people in my family aren't voting! I'm trying to change their minds!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

65. I'm angry as fuck. nt

[easttexaslefty]

66. Nervous

but i'm always nervous.

[Iris]

67. We did it!

What a difference 24 hours makes!!!
