Does anybody just get positively giddy when it comes to election.
Aside from all the problems with the machines, I still get excited. I am positively enthusiastic. I know, I know, I was supposed to do the whole absentee ballot thing... but I am an election day junkie. I love to go on the day and vote. I have voted in every election that I could since turning 18.

Happy Election Day to you all... Goodluck and Positive thoughts.

3. I don't drink coffee... I love the voting process... Its free (love free stuff),
its my choice (hopefully all goes well with my machine), and I feel like I'm standing in line behind George Washington and Franklin and Jefferson (to name a few). When I vote its like there ghosts are standing there with pride for America. I'm not sure they would recognize all the vote stealing stuff now as too Patriotic, but I feel pleasure and pride and elation. Knowing that I am still lucky to be able to vote is wonderful... Not even 100yrs ago in this country I would not have been able to vote. I take what my foremothers gave to me with care.

6. Chicken here
I will be positively giddy Wednesday morning if the prognostications are accurate. Tired of being baffled and crushed by inexplicable results.

8. Not giddy at all.
Waiting for the election to be stolen and for enough of the American public to prove they don't deserve a democracy. Burns could win, Talent could win, Allen will win, Corker will win. People are actually voting for these corrupt assholes. After six years, my optimism for America has vanished. I have no faith that America or it's voters will do what's right.
Waiting to be proven wrong.

10. If you think that way it will happen... stop thinking that way...
Think positive thoughts.. And listen... we are the majority. The 1% that seems to control us, doesn't. If it comes to revolution and dissent, then it will come to that. A true Patriot questions his/her gov't because it is their duty as an American to preserve democracy and uphold the constitution.

Anyway.. gloomers and doomers.... I still love election day like it was my birthday. And I will be extra positive to make up for your naysaying...
