Can't they get the last 3% counted?

[Democrats unite]

I want to go to bed, but I don't want to wake up in the morning & find something happened in that 3%. That would Suck!

[bhunt70]

1. seriously, Im falling asleep in my chair.

[truebrit71]

2. I feel your pain!!!

I've been sitting here refreshing every minute or so....still stuck at 97%....Aaaaaaaargghhh!!! The tension!!!

[Skwmom]

8. Me too. e/o/m

[Myra]

14. I feel the pain of everyone on the planet right now!

Not to be competitive.

(I win.)

[HuskerDem]

16. Oh yeah Myra?

Well I feel the pain of all sentient beings, past and present, earthly and otherwise, mortal and everlasting, with or without form in all known, unknown and unknowable dimensions and universes.

HA! Top that. :evilgrin:

[Myra]

17. Oh yeah! Well I...

Crud, I got nothin'.

You're the pain champ HuskerDem.

I concede. (And I'm the only one tonight who has. Certainly
no candidates have. :))

[HuskerDem]

18. That's Ok girl, I found you a consolation prize

[Myra]

19. :) :) I will never forget this kindness HuskerDem.

Sweets *from* the sweet!

Real candy for the eye candy candidate!
Who also happens to be brilliant and honorable and charismatic.

[incapsulated]

3. They are trying to kill us, I swear

It's a conspiracy!

[Myra]

15. You're right. If they can kill off the Clark/Edwards contingent,

make our heads explode (boom!), they're halfway there.

Those bastards!

[lovedems]

4. My husband keeps saying "Just walk away for 10 minutes"

I am up past my bedtime! I don't want to go to sleep all happy and wake up shocked.

[bicentennial_baby]

5. My butt hurts

This chair is too hard..I'm tired and I have Chemistry in the morning! Count the damn ballots already! :cry:

[incapsulated]

6. I'm in the midst of changing my hours upside down

From working nights to going back to school by day. I should be in bed and my body is confused enough!

[Auntie Bush]

7. The Bums won't announce it because they don't

want us to turn the TV off and go to bed.
Actually it is probably because they are counting the hand written ballots.

[lovedems]

9. I saw tonight that they won't announce it until the secretary of state

certifies it because the race was so close. I would just feel better if I saw the 99% counted before I went to bed.

[incapsulated]

11. Gah!

Ok, I'm passing out, soon.

[lovedems]

12. I hear ya.

If there is a 4th place finish tomorrow, I will be thouroughly bummed and suspicious.

[ShaneGR]

10. Absentee

won't be a 100% till tomorrow

[Myra]

13. Are you sure? Or are you playing with us? Don't play with us...

we're fragile.

Please tell me I don't have to try to sleep on pins and needles.
That's worse than a bed of nails.

[Myra]

20. Is the missing 3% really absentee? Is this all we'll know for tonight?

Ohmygod.

[KaraokeKarlton]

21. Absentee would be good for Dean

If they were cast before Iowa. Just a thought to further titilate and drive folks nuts. :D

Oh, and Dean won in the area right over the river from me by around 15%. I notice in the towns that are close to Vermont, where Dean is best known for his record as governor, he blew Kerry away by double digits.

[HuskerDem]

22. Too bad for Dean all the world is not as small and white

as your river.

[KaraokeKarlton]

23. Now that was corny

Dean has far more African American endorsements and supporters than Kerry does. Oh, and Dean isn't the one saying "we don't need the south"...that would be Kerry.
