I feel little strange sensation.

[Orrex]

I'm not sure, but I think it might be optimism. It's a little scary, to be honest, and exhilarating!

Anyone else?

1. sure it's not gas? . . . :) n/t

[Orrex]

6. No, I know what *that* feels like

This is a more pleasant, less bloated feeling.

[casus belli]

11. Easy to mistake the two. I'm much more optimistic after a spicy dinner. n/t

[Carni]

21. God damn it-- must you people ALWAYS...

Beat me to my one liners?

ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL BE the FIRST to issue one of these cracks LOL!

In three years I have yet to beat anyone to the punch!

[Straight Shooter]

2. Cautiously optimistic. n/t

[casus belli]

14. I second that. More hopeful than optimistic. I don't want to be dissappointed again. n/t

3. The butterflies have been flying in my stomach for the last month!

Yeah, I'm VERY encouraged at what I see. Tomorrow's going to be a GREAT DAY in our history. One for the history books.

4. I've felt my face... Doing something.... *crack*

Eeek! There it goes again...

:)

Ach! This can't continue.

[Nimrod2005]

5. YES YES YES ... I feel the same.....

And it is drving me crazy?

7. Tears

I am just about 74 years old. I have witnessed a lot of elections, but I have never ever been so hopeful that the democrats win this midterm.

We can not afford to let the republicans continue to lead us down the path of destruction of our great country. Any republican that waves a flag and praises bush has got to be the worst traitor since Benedict Arnold. They have got to be either mentally deficient or of the lowest character to ever come along.

Every time I see that the democrats are up in a poll the tears just roll down my cheeks. I am so proud of the democrats this year I don't know what to do. I am proud that they still fight for our country, that they still respect the feelings of others, that they want our country to have the freedoms set about in our Bill of Rights. I AM PROUDER TO BE A DEMOCRAT RIGHT NOW THEN I HAVE BEEN SINCE I FIRST VOTED WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD. BECAUSE BACK THEN YOU HAD TO BE 21.

[Delightful-08]

13. With You

Your words express it beautifully. I'm proud to be a Democrat. There is so much positive energy from all Democrats across the states. Feels like magic!!

[newyawker99]

19. Hi Delightful-08!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[bdamomma]

8. do you think we could have a support thread for people

who do not to watch the returns, like myself, it just brings me back to 2004 election when I was very hopeful that Kerry would have won, but the next day found out he conceded. I don't know if I have the stomach for it this year.

[izzie]

15. I get hardly any feeling on these things. I wish I knew why.

I always vote but I can not seem to push out what I want with what people are telling me so I just turn it off and do not guess. I end up looking at how people usually vote and figure it will be about the same.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. I just wish it was over

I almost don't want to watch the results. I might just get them from here.

Twice burned....

[ronnykmarshall]

17. I'll second that.

I'm of the "I won't believe it, 'till I see it" frame of mind.

[truebrit71]

18. I'll third it....

...not until I see it will I believe it...

[DemExpat]

20. Yes, for self-preservation I have to remain somewhat detached.....

but a horribly dark cloud will be lifted a little bit if what we hope for comes to be!

22. I'm afraid to be optimistic.

I've been disappointed too many times in the last few years. :cry:

23. It feels like Christmas to me

with a little bit of apprehension mixed in.
