(14,565 posts)Unlike 2006. I'm sure many here will remember 2006. We stayed up all night and sweated out Tester's late unlikely rally against Conrad Burns, the Simpsons guy.
Lengthy thread with nervous post after nervous post. Then joy early Wednesday when it finally looked good.
As a Miamian I would have stayed up for Tester last night if Gillum had won. That's my excuse and I don't apologize. I'm supposed to play golf tomorrow but have already canceled. No energy.
