"This election is having the same effect on me as marijuana. All of my worst qualities have been exacerbated. I'm paranoid, obsessive, nervous, and totally mental."
— Larry David: Waiting for Nov. 4th
Is this why weed kinda sucks anymore?
If we can figure out how the Republicans did it, we could get a bunch more people to vote, even the winged out Libertarians.
Me too. I can't wait for this to be over. Wish we could do it today.
Selfishly, I'm tired out just from all the volunteering. Election Day will be fun, but there are a bunch of shifts leading up to it, so I don't have a lot of downtime over the next coupla weeks.
Where is the big rave when this is all over?
It may be medically necessary.
i have this Bush countdown clock someone sent me and i checked it the other day for the first time in awhile: dead.
Every day i keep getting more flyers in the mail. i would have wallpapered he living room by now in glossy McBama.

Whoah. That's spooky.
Is anyone else having election dreams? I had my first one the other night. It reminded me of the dreams I used to have back in high school when the Dallas Cowboys had a big playoff game the next day, wherein I would pre-live the game over and over again in my sleep, with every possible outcome imaginable. I would wake up the next morning a gibbering, nervous wreck.
And then my team would proceed to beat the ever-loving stuffing out of the competition. So at least I've got that going for me.
I'm so effing angsty right now I shouldn't even bother commenting in these threads anymore.
But I get more focused every time I get out there and do something for the campaign. It's grounding me in a real way, and there's nothing more sanctimoniously satisfying than busting out a laundry list of Things You've Done when confronted by the haters and do-nothings.
