Time to suck it up people
What is wrong with everybody? There’s all these posts about how everyone is worn out or strung out or too nervous to eat or sleep. C’mon people. This is the fun part. :) This is what we’ve been working for for at least 4 years (some of us for a lot longer). We had millions of new people register to vote this year. We’ve had HUGE early voting turnout. It looks like turnout on election day is going to be huge too – which is good for us. We’ve got ‘em on the ropes. Look at all the shenanigans they’re trying to pull – they know they’re in trouble and they’re running scared.

So buck up cowboys and cowgirls. Stop fretting and start enjoying this. How often do you get this kind of opportunity to change the course of your country?

You got too much nervous energy right now? Call your local party headquarters...I bet they can find something for you to do to burn it off. :)

1. One more day
One more day. I know some people are drained but stick around one more day and then take a day off.

5. I'm a middle aged fat man
who has had a lot going on the last couple of months, and yes, I'm tired but working with the local Democratic Party with a lot of young people has energized me. I hope it will energize others as well. The poster is right, we still have work to do. Volunteer and help out. You'll be glad you did!

15. The pot-bellied, bearded W was priceless...

GREAT!

11. Our democracy is at stake
That makes more than a few people nervous. Some of our lives are at stake too. I wish I could enjoy this.
