I won't watch election returns tonight.

[trof]

I am in denial.

SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.


Fuck. This.
KY for the turtle.
jeez.

1. Same here. I'm pretty sure my state is going deeper red and

watching it happen won't change a thing. I'll hear the bad news soon enough.

3. In my dark red Alabama county...

There was not one single Dem on the ballot for county office.
Not one.

I voted for all the Dems statewide and the independent locally.
The lone independent running for county commissioner is a Dem, but you can't have that brand and hope to get elected here.
Bummer.

9. We didn't have a Dem running for Congress in my district.

The latest polls don't look good for Mark Pryor and it looks like we'll get Asa fucking Hutchinson for Governor. It's pretty grim.

2. I'm with you. I was going to watch them on Comedy Central.

Now I don't even want to do that. Going to bed early and pulling the covers over my head.

4. Just read that Grimes is ahead by 2% so don't believe initial reports from the biased M$M.

Don't get depressed over lies from the M$M.

6. would be so bad if he just STAYED in KY

[RockinLeft]

7. I hear ya. I will probably watch...

the new extended blu-ray of the Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug instead.

8. I don't want to go out tommorow

I work with a bunch of rethugs and they will be gloating at me tomorrow. They always say terrible things about the president but I always defend him. They are going to say this is all because of him and that he is failing. It's not that! If we lose tonight it is because they scared people away from voting.

Still I'm going to be getting made fun of and trampled on if this doesn't turn around.

10. It's because Obama is 'Not Quite White'.

Period.
Full stop.
Every repug in Alabama has run against Obama.
From the governor right on down.
Every repug running has run against Obama.
And it works for them.
crap

11. What you are seeing is the eventual end of the American republic.

The blue states are getting bluer and the red states are getting redder. Eventually the republic will collapse.
The polarization is getting very bad.
