I firmly believe we are going to elect McCain/Palin tomorrow! I say that with total conviction. In 2000 and 2004 I was a nervous wreck over FL and then OH. Did not eat the night before either election. Knew FL was in trouble in 2000 and was sworn to silence; same with OH in 2004!
This time I had BBQ for dinner and looking for McCain to flip blue states red! Made a lot more phone calls this time while response has been much more positive then in 2000 or 2004.
In 2000, I like you, PhiKapMom, was a nervous wreck for 36 days until that election was settled by the USSC. In 2004, I was a little more confident of FLorida, which bore out to be true. Only Ohio was my concern, and considering it was 118,000 votes and not 537 votes, Kerry had a bigger hurdle to overcome. This election, I don’t know what to think. At least 5-6 battleground states will decide it. Everybody watch out for Missouri. That could decide this year’s election.
Without giving anything away, you appear to have been in the trenches in 2000,2004 and 2008 making calls. Plus you knew things about both states and were sworn to silence.
You made a lot more calls in 2008. So you feel good about McCain-Palin without saying too much?
I know what the people sound like on the other line from 2004. After the 1500th or more call you get a real feel. I assume in 2008 you have been hopefully getting the “we will be the first in line to vote, crawling across glass or something..”???
My feeling is almost all Repubs and many PUMAs are jumping out of their skin ready to fight wild tigers to vote McCain in the morning. I know I am.
I had no doubt about 2004.
This year is a different story.
