i was so upset after debate one and tonight predebate my stomach was turning.

but soon as O spoke for the first time tonight I knew he was ready. he looked sharper right from the start. i'm going to bed with more peace of mind tonight than i have over the last couple of weeks.

I was so upset and nervous and paranoid that I hid! Didn't have the courage to watch it live. So relieved! Glad you're here - we need you to help us knock this thing home.





Now get to work.

And I wasn't planning to watch the debate.
I was going to spend a fun filled evening returning a blood pressure machine to Walgreens.
But, it was on my husband's TV, so I had to take a peek.
Husband said, "I knew you would watch it"

Went to bed an hour before. It helped calm the nerves, much easier to take it in later if he didn't perform well. But he did great.
