Well, excercises, hot bath, and (instead of Xanax) a nice nip of scotch or cognac ... and check Nate Silver before bed.

They oughta bottle the guy and sell him over the counter.

delicate chocolate shell, so you have to pop the whole thing in your mouth at once. I have a nice assortment of Grand Marnier, rhum, amaretto, framboise and cognac. Just the ticket!

That manipulation in the vote count could cause this election to go the other way? There have been a number of stories already about discrepancies in the vote counts . . . misinformation about voting . . . To downright threats and intimidation . . . Is this a set up by Rove and his ilk to skim just enought to cause the pundits to claim that the polls are unreliable and discount the work of Nate?

I would have turned over 80% of the campaign coverage off.

Since most of us have cells and screen calls, do you pick up strange numbers, (pollsters perhaps) or let it go to VM.

Kinda makes you wonder who is being polled.

I'm not so sure anymore, since reading that he said if he were voting, he would vote for romney. I guess I just have trust issues where politics are concerned. Someone please tell me that he was misquoted.

I really need medication or something because I'm eating non stop and having a hard time getting my work done due to all the pre-election stress. Why are we being made to feel so worried when Pres. Obama has a 79% chance of winning?!!!
