Four years ago at this very time, I drove home from work with a heavy heart. That's because all afternoon long, exit polls were leaked out showing that John Kerry would be our next president. I was even debating whether or not to bother voting on the way home. But I voted anyhow. And I went to the package store to get a bottle of something strong so that I could drown my sorrows. I was so sure that all was lost that I didn't even turn on the TV or computer when I got home. Intead, I turned on the music and buried myself in a good book. Then around 7 or 8PM, I couldn't take it any longer and decided to fire up the computer and take a peek. Well I ended up staying up until 1AM and ended up popping a bottle of champagne instead of draining the bottle of hard stuff. So you never know!
I'm going to do the same thing tonight. I'm going to vote on the way home and not turn the TV or computer on until about 8 or 9PM. Then we'll see.
I remember the election four yrs ago too because I was a poll worker. Around 3pm, all these Dems came in to vote. You knew they were Dems by the big Kerry buttons they wore. They were all smiles, and giggled at the Dem poll leader who left a few minutes later to confer with her Dem friends.
I got home that night around 9pm and turned on FNC. I learned what had happened with the false exit polling; and I felt sorry for all those Dems who had been mislead by their leaders.
