I'm a total yo yo.... optimistic... then scared (and then optimistic again and then scared again)

I was in good spirits until my husband came home (who is a dem too) and he's getting ready for disappointment. I can't handle the waiting.

4. That sounds about right.

After 2004, I am not allowing myself to do the same thing again: get all het up and breathless and triumphant.

Whatever happens is well out of my hands.

I will say this, however: If there any tales of big-time vote rigging shenanigans and they even have a shard of credibility, it's gonna get really ugly, really quick. Really ugly.
