I talked to people in MA, on the phone yesterday
and all were voting for Martha Coakley. They were mostly
seniors who were really enthusiastic. I'm bummed now.

1. It sounds like you should be enthusiastic
Were these random calls you made at a phone bank to gotv?

4. I made several calls to MA voters yesterday, too
They were mostly elderly, and some complained that they were getting too many calls. One man said, "LOS-AH!" and hung up on me. The majority of people said they and their entire households were voting for Coakley. One lady in her 90s said she was going to try hard to get out to vote for her despite the snow.

This is all so surreal. I wish I could stop myself from watching political stuff on TV (MSNBC only), as I'm driving myself mad.

3. Why are you bummed now? No results are even trickling in yet.
I'm not paying attention to polls or news.

If she wins she wins, if she loses, she loses.

I'm letting the "pundits" get to me.
