I was confident, but let me tell you one thing. I don't know if I am the only one who feels this way, but I feel like I went through an emotional 10 round boxing match with a really big boxer who whipped me till the very last minute when I got in a lucky punch.
Even though I won, I knew I'd be sore for a long..looooong time.
I am old enough to have been through the wars of elections since Eisenhower...I have been sorely disappointed before.
I really wanted Bush to win last time and the long wait on the final election decision was really draining...moreso than this..
This is really over..though there will be accusations of this or that..There are no "perfect "elections.
There is always a bit of a letdown after all the intensity and then the "high" of winning,of course.
I am feeling good,...America won.

Actually, I felt like I wanted so much to hit the other guy except his larger wingspan kept me at a distance. I and my GOP brethren finally got past the barrier and landed a devastating blow.
