We don’t want to beat a dead horse here (or, donkey, as the case may be), but we need to remind you all, once more, not to be Eeyores today.
The Obamedia is going to do to you what they did to Hillary supporters during the primaries — they are going to lie, and float all sorts of incorrect exit polls, and start revving up to declare Obama the winner.
Drudge Report — mark our words — is going to run that flashing red/blue siren he loves to report McCain losing all sorts of traditional Republican states around midday. He’s going to get all of you Eeyores hyperventilating.
The goal of the Obamedia is to depress you so much you don’t turn out to vote. Our friend Astrid always falls for this garbage, and we know she is not all alone. She’ll be miserable all day because she’s never learned to turn out the media and just chill out.
This is going to go down just like Super Tuesday - where the media claimed Obama would win California, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and others…but Clinton won every state we predicted she’d win.
In fact, we were right about every state in the primaries except Missouri, which Clinton lost by less than 1%. Otherwise, we were spot-on.
So, we know you Eeyores are going to drive everyone in your lives crazy today. You are going to panic and wet yourselves and email/call/bother all of your friends and relatives all day. You’ll forward bogus polls and terrible links to everyone, and depress people left and right.
We have no idea why you people behave this way and really wish you would stop. Because we’ve been through this with you since New Hampshire and just think it’s all so ridiculous.
Here’s our advice: take a break from news today — consider everything you hear to be lies. Watch some cool movies (our favorite of all time is The Contender with Joan Allen), eat a nice sandwich, have a nap (or two), then tune into the Election Results around 10pm or so CST to see the final tallies add up and wait for a winner.
The rest of the day will just drive you over the edge — and then you will spread this Eeyore gloom and doom to everyone else, because that seems to be what you do.
We will never understand that.
But, we know you’ll do it, because you’ve consistently done it since January. It’s very predictable.
Just like the election results.
McCain wins 286-252…and America gets its first female Vice President.
And on November 5th, we start campaigning for 2012.
Eeyore is a character in the Winnie-the-Pooh book series. He is characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, old grey stuffed donkey who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh. Let's not be him!
Be of good cheer today, my fellow Freepers. Our hard work is done. Beware the false network calls for a winner. Be of good cheer, and . . . Vote Baby Vote!
I’m with you.
DREAM BIG!
Remember Ohio 2004.
Go vote. Even in a safe state. Even in a lost state.
I voted in NY this morning. I was happy to hear about the thousands of people lined up around the block, not that their votes will affect the EV outcome.
I voted for McCain & Palin this morning!!!! I’m also making sure my friends vote, as well!

No matter what...VOTE!!!!!!!
The networks can call Obama the winner all day long! I don’t give a crap! The same thing happened with Kerry!
I will be voting McCain/Palin after work around 4:30 p.m. in L.A. Just say NO TO SOCIALISM!....
Will Drudge truly do that? Will he also be suppressing Republican votes by trying to be the first to project Obama wins?
I don’t know about the article’s conclusion about the results, but I agree with everything else. I’m not expecting to start getting reliable results anytime before 7 or 8PM tonight. Until then, all exit polls, predictions, and media coverage are worse than useless, intended only to mislead.
I won’t be turning a t.v. on until after 8:00 p.m. west coast time either!.....
12:35pm Eastern and no siren.
You betcha’ he will!
Heaven help us!!
The snippets of news coming out about NO big Dem Voter ID advantage being observed in Early Voting in many states is giving me some hope, here.
And the reports of BIG, BIG turnouts in Rural America could undo EVERYTHING the Obama Media has tried to do!
