It's like the SuperBowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, and a Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, or Lennox Lewis title fight for me.
Go Obama...Give no quarter... Punish Willard like he insulted your wife.

(14,400 posts)I really want to see Obama wipe the floor with Romney.
Now with three kids under 8 though I have to be a bit more careful in my responses. For example; yelling "Fuck you, you lying sack of shit!" at Romney like I did at Palin in 2008 will probably get me in dutch with the wife cause the little ones are "impressionable" or some nonsense like that.
When I yelled that in 2008 I heard my wife start laughing in the kitchen. She walked in and said something like "This is kind of like the Stanley Cup in October for you isn't it?"

(20,043 posts)but there is a small part of me that is scared shitless. I have some normal nerves too. I plan on making a quick dinner, having my shower done, and wine in hand. Husband, son and daughter--via speaker phone--will be watching with me.
The scared part comes into play with the media. They want this race to be close, so I'm afraid they'll down play Obama and praise (unearned) Robme. They do have power, if they repeat or push something, or just allow lies without correction it sticks. Look at the lie that Obama had super majority for two years, the media lets that lie continue even though its not true. Look at what happened on Meet the Pres this weekend David Gregory asserted not once but twice, that, President Obama declared that al Qaeda has been defeated. There are many more examples.
Other than that, I'm super amped.
