Doom! DOOOM!!!

[ulysses]

Come on, folks. I've never seen as big a bunch of ninnies in my life. Kerry's still *very much* in this. Find your spines!

1. dooooooooom i say

thx for the laugh

[LisaLynne]

2. Notice the timing of the posts ...

As soon as Kerry makes a stride forward, the doom and gloomers come out. Hmm. Wonder what that could mean? :)

5. trolls?

8. Just spotted a troll myself

They are definitely out tonight.

Keep your chin up. Red states went red. What a fuckin surprise. The assholes will still be running in the morning.

7. Yeah, the trolls are particularly transparent this evening.

10. LOTS ...

Just loads and loads of names I have never seen in here tonight.

The regulars tend to have question or express concerns. Almost invariably, the doom and gloomers are no one I recognize.

Not that I'm all that recognizable, but still. I'm not dooming and glooming either. (I'm just pissed about the OK Senate race.)

4. I agree

I think many people look at all the red states and feel defeated. Remember that's just land mass.

6. the "fly over" states!

Remember where the population is!

The lurking Freepers are probably enjoying this. What I hear they are also freaking out.

15. if you ain't 'nervous' you ain't pay'n attention

16. Nervous isn't the problem

No one has a problem with people being nervous here. But the ridiculous sentiment of: "We LOST already!" is what sets people off because it is totally unwarranted.
Personally, I am very anxious right now.

17. it's a problem for me right now n/t

peace

[Chovexani]

18. for fuck's sake it's not about being nervous

FYI I have been on DU since the selection and I remember very well what happened. I've been fucking paying attention. Being nervous is not the problem. I'm nervous too.

The problem is the weeping and gnashing of teeth when so many things are still up in the air. People are acting like it's all over WHEN IT ISN'T. That's the problem.

[Chovexani]
