  1. You guys think they'll call the outcome tonight? Or will it be some protracted nightmare?

    He has a MUCH better shot there then Ohio. I'm not even sure Ohio is going to be close. The exit polls have the auto bailout as a huge issue there.

    FYI, if you have directv, channel 352 has eight networks covering the election all at once.

    When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.

    I feel similarly "set". Whoever wins we still have all the same reasons to argue, only difference is (if Romney wins), we switch roles: I become the ceaseless critic and you become the ceaseless apologist.

    Bonds are popping and spoos selling off. That's all I need to see to call it. I think it's going to be a short night. We'll know in 2 hours the winner.

    I'm usually the same way. I always think it is necessary to be prepared for the worst outcome. I also try to prepare my head for either outcome so most of the time I don't let myself get giddy about winning before it occurs. This kind of thinking is supposed to be an ENTJ thing and it gets me into dutch with the womenfolk because it is perceived to be negative.

    I will admit to a real fear/loathing of Obama winning which will probably make RCG and a few others happy, y'know, the guys who enjoy seeing somebody else unhappy and all that.
