Do you remember feeling GOOD at this time on 11/4/04?

[garybeck]

I do.

Exit polls were good. Just like now.

[Marnieworld]

1. yep

champagne remains corked.

[mindfulNJ]

2. yes

I'm not celebrating yet.

[zreosumgame]

3. Dude, we know, quit spamming the same thing. OK?

We are all AWARE, some may babble some may express joy some may wallow in the possible grief from the traitor-con. SO what is that yo you? Why are you here SCOLDING people with stuff they already KNOW?

[HappyWeasel]

6. Our leads are double that they were in 2004 though.

[springhill]

17. Oh grow up!

[Ned_Devine]

4. I'm a Red Sox fan...so I know when to celebrate

[Glenda]

9. ha!

:hi:

[Mr_Spock]

16. Glenda!

How is life in the land of good witches?

[Mr_Spock]

Remember '86!

[mindfulNJ]

19. amen to that!!!

:)

[etherealtruth]

5. I vividly remember ...

That's why I feel slightly nauseous with anticipation.

[liberal N proud]

7. I was still working the polls at this time

But I remember when I went to the election headquarters afterward feeling pretty good.

And I will never forget the feeling the next morning.

[blm]

29. ah yes....before Rove and a computer cast the final votes.

.

[tridim]

8. The news was no where near as good in 04.

Even Rove is publicly worried and GOP talking heads are already talking about a comeback in 08.

[timber84]

i agree

they were not saying the same things they are tonight

[Mr_Spock]

10. Yep, it bears repeating

I am not going to do that to myself again...

[Lurking Dem]

11. Yeah.

Feel like I'm having flashbacks.

[Bluebear]

12. Alright already! Some of us are damn hopeful! :)

[WilliamPitt]

13. I remember being cold

Standing in the wind and rain at the Kerry party in Copley Square.

[wildeyed]

15. Yes.

Also, I am a Panthers fan. I am hopeful, but not gonna get too excited yet.

[AngryOldDem]

18. Yep. Sure do.

I'll say no more.

[Misskittycat]

20. Yes. I was really happy. n/t

[KingFlorez]

21. Yes, but things are different now

You have talk of GOP insiders saying that things look bleak for them

[NYC Liberal]

22. Yep I was -- REMEMBER THIS??

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=309

Buzzflash.com with early results as of 1:30. Kerry up in all swing states. 20pt in PA, 4pt OH, 3pt FL, up in MI WI NM NH

[RoyGBiv]

23. Actually, I don't ...

I wish the people that keep saying this would go back to the archives and read the threads that were popping up "about this time" then.

The screaming had started before the polls had closed becuase at some point in the afternoon, some yahoo on CNN had come out with the idea that people were voting on "values" and that this favored Repubs, as their polls were showing.

It was not all honey and roses at any point election day, 2004.

[NEDem]

27. You are correct

by this time in 04 most of us had a massive sinking feeling going on. It was still a few hours before it all sunk in, but no things were not good at this time in 04.

[RoyGBiv]

32. Yup ...

I started the day in a pretty good mood. Had my election day music blaring as I drove up to my polling place. Cast my ballot in a state I knew would not go for my candidate in the Presidential, but I had optimism in other races.

By the time I got to work, I was feeling bad vibes as someone had managed to put Coburn (R) for Senate signs all across the road in front of the DEMOCRATIC headquarters. Hundreds of them.

By the time I left work, at almost this same time, I was depressed.

But I don't want to think about that day right now, as some obviously want us to it seems.

I don't know how this will turn out, but I'm feeling a lot better about things right now than I was at the same time of day 2 years ago.

[bobbolink]

24. Unfortunately, I remember it all too well. PAINFUL!!

Doncha love all the name-calling for those of us who've been paying attention?

:mad:

[NoBorders]

25. Yep. What a letdown.

What a roller coaster that was. Not gonna get my hopes up this time until the fat lady sings.

[haymark]

26. I'll wait.

I want to believe.

[childslibrarian]

28. Yes

I just said that to my husband.
By nine, though, I was feeling bad. That's when the real results came in.

[MrSlayer]

30. No. Rove put his numbers into effect about 6 PM.

I remember seeing footage of the Bush family cheering it over and over by this time and knowing we got fucked again.

[zbdent]

31. As a Stillers fan, I kept waiting for them to end the "Cinderella" season

(and now I'm really getting to "enjoy" their "dominance" this season) ...

I'm keeping my celebrations in check ...
