Can Freepers cope with the fact that the polls are accurate and the people are kicking the GOP squarely in the ballz tonight?
In the past tense, if that is what happened, definitely.
But that's a fact not in evidence right now.
This Freeper can. So we lose in VA. It's disappointing, but so what? Life goes on, I'll still be smiling tomorrow.
I enjoy politics, but it isn't my life. My family is my life, my faith is my life. Those things matter. Who sits in the Governor's office in Virginia ultimately does not.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for Kilgore, though. :-)
I was amused that Mark Simone took the Drudge foul-up seriously, and reported those as the actual returns, before his correction.
Man, that guy is a dope.
the general answer to your question - is no. let's see how the night goes. but I often post on the political threads and have people try to convince me that Bush won in 2004 by a landslide, instead of by 4% and one state electorally. and then I will be on another set of threads in the coming months, where people will assure me that Hillary cannot possibly win the presidency, and that I am insane, and a troll, etc.
but I won't pre-judge, let's wait for all the results to come in.
Do you mean are we going to go catatonic, hire BBV Inc. or start crying like DUmmies if our guys / propositions lose?
I won't, can't speak for other FReepers.

This Virginia FReeper sure can. But then again, I do happen to be a Democrat.....
While there's a great deal of difference between the two parties with regard to their stated beliefs, how they act when elected isn't all that different. That's especially true in Virginia.
