November 6, 2012: Is anyone else as nervous today as I am?

My stomach is churning and I'm getting a headache (I very rarely get headaches). I do have a good feeling that Obama will win, but I can't help being a Nervous Nelly!!!

• You have good reason to be nervous. This can easily go to Romney, his campaign is charged up and the Obama nos are hot to oust him

• If you are going to be nervous be nervous about the close races. Gay marriage is on the ballot in Maine, Maryland and Washington. There is a chance it could past in that would be the first time in our history that votes make marriage equality a reality. Cannabis legislation is on the ballot in Colorado and Washington and that could be the first time that the pointless marijuana prohibition is ended. Tammy Baldwin is in a very close race to be the first openly gay Senator. These things are super close and historic. There is more happening than just the Presidential race.

• I *am* nervous about those issues, too, R2. I am also very nervous about Women's rights, too! I am anxious about everything!

  OP, aka Nervous Nelly

• Well that all makes me feel so much less tense, R2.

• I am not nervous at all. I just want this circus to be over so we can go back to bitchin' about all the things Obama hasn't done.

• Lol so true, R5.

• I hear you OP. I want to get to tonight. Then I want to get to tomorrow so I can get back to focusing on my own life.

• I feel the same way as you do OP. I don't know how I'm going to make it through tonight without having a nervous breakdown. So much is at stake. Maybe if I start drinking when the polls close I'll get drunk enough to pass out until tomorrow when it will all finally (hopefully) be over.

• I felt that way at first today, too. It's now 9:31 and I've just voted and I feel a lot better. I want a President that's an actual human being. I won't be able to take the other thing.
