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!

Remember Florida panhandle 2000.

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've never been an Eeyore and won't be one now....its just that at times Freepers have panicked over things they can't control. Take a deep breath and calm down. Should things go the way its predicted here tonight, I will watch the election coverage later just for the pleasure of witnessing the MSM get its comeuppance. Which in my opinion it richly deserves - in spades!!!

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.

Excellent advice. I have been assiduously avoiding any MSM contact today.

Rush is saying to IGNORE the exit polling...ignore the reports from PA & CO. The Drive-Bys will try to call the election by 2 p.m. so tune them out and vote!!!

...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...

12:35pm Eastern and no siren.

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!

It is already over. The results of the Dixville Notch voting are in with Obama 15 votes and McCain 6 votes. It is clear from this sample that this will be a huge blowout for Obama. My prediction is Obama with 702 EVs and McCain with -164 EVs.

Good advice. There is such a masochistic lure to tuning in the bogus network results. I won’t do it today.

BTW, we have a big old Golden Retriever who looks and acts like Eeyore. He’s so funny. And now we have acquired a little Rat Terrier who is the epitome of energy. We’re now calling her Piglet, since she runs Eeyore’s legs off. She won’t let him be. I love the analogy.

Just came back from voting. I went at lunch to avoid lines, and sure enough the place was almost empty. But we live in a small town, and probably most people will vote after work, 5-7:00 pm.

Good post, except I wouldn’t worry too much about Drudge. So far, he seems to have been more than fair to McCain/Palin. It’s the damned networks and media pimps who will try to pull out all their tricks to depress the vote.

?Watch some cool movies (our favorite of all time is The Contender with Joan Allen),”

I kinda like “They died with their boots on”, “ZULU” (hence my name), “The LASt of the Mohegan” and “The Last Samurai”

“300” is also cool. The good guys lose, true - but ULTIMATELY - they win!!!
