I thought we had lost on Monday night.
I never doubted from the moment I woke up yesterday at 4:30 am Eastern.
Actually... being from NJ I already knew my state was not going to Bush... did that stop my wife and I from voting and being optimistic? NO WAY!
Yep, I took more than one Zantac tablet yesterday. Sure am glad this thing's over with.
I was very worried.
I didn't look at any exit polls. Heck, I didn't even start watching the returns until after the polls in Michigan closed. You remember what happened last time around.
MGY
I was a little bit worried, but I had confidence that the exit polls - produced by the same MSM that brought us Dan Rather and Abu Ghraib and a million other fakeries - were deliberately manipulated.
I'm not at all surprised that that did in fact turn out to be the case.
The looks on the faces of the Fox News Panel sent my heart right to my metatarsals.
Yeah, must admit it. When I saw Joe Lockhart on TV with a huge poop-eating grin teasing about when Kerry would claim victory, I was ill.
I could'nt hardly breathe, I'm not kidding
I was worried all weekend, and I admit when Rush and Hannity started talking about the exit polls yesterday I believed we had lost. It was this website that started to give me hope when I got home from work and started seeing the real results!
I honestly didn't doubt that the President would win, although I did think that Kerry would put up more of a fight over the results.
I barely got any work done yesterday because I was distracted and depressed.
I've been thinking that it was going to be a Kerry win for about a year.
It was a total roller coaster ride for me. I was having chest pains at one point. My dad called me shortly after Fox called Ohio for Bush and I was still nervous because I couldn't shake the memory of Florida 2000. You were not at all alone my friend!
I was spooked until I saw the 60/40 male/female demographic. And then driving home listening to Ralph Reed be almost adamant that Florida was in W's column (citing stats for county after county) ... I felt good at that point. I got spooked again though when the Fox guys sounded so gloomy on Brit's show.
When the exit polls started flying I got disgusted and shut off the computer and the TV and went to the store for groceries. By the tme I got back, things were rosy.
But it wasn't the most relaxing trip to the market that I ever had.
No, maybe surprisingly, I thought those exit polls were so goofy they didn't phase me for a minute. Virginia for Kerry! That was laughable. Those polls were intentional and they were fraudulent. It was the last effort on the part of the liberal establishment to steal this election and the fact that they ever thought it would work makes me seriously concerned over their sanity.
it wasnt the exit polls it was the local ninny talk radio guy that was pissing me off Jay Sevrin
kept saying Bush wont win
Evangicals wont come out
Youth vote will conquer etc etc etc
THAT pissed me off i really dont pay attention until real results are shown i remember 2000
