Anyone else's nerves on edge?

[carrowsboy]

Kerry is delivering a great smackdown tonight but I'm still sitting here shaking.

I hope it is excitement but part of me dreads just how far the media will go to paint Bush as the winner tonight.

I need a Buspar!

[Enrico]

1. I need NERVE pills

[DemBones DemBones]

2. Yeah -- all the Bush family, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, etc. eom

[JerseygirlCT]

3. Just weaned myself off that stuff!

Wish I could hand you the remnants!

Yeah, I'm a wreck, too. There's just too much at stake here not to be.

But so far, in my very biased opinion, Kerry is kicking butt...

4. Another glass of wine?

glug, glug, glug.

[El Supremo]

5. Jim Beam stock should be going sky high right now. n/t

6. I keep leaving the room

but my husband is filling me in

[snowbear]

7. debate..

I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch... but Bush is babbling like an idiot and Kerry is ROCKING!!!!!!! :bounce:

[Selwynn]

8. Yes.

[jerryster]

9. Me too

Glad to hear it's not just me. Kerry is doing well, but I share your nervousness.

[oregon_dem1]

10. Not nervous.

I'm so excited!

[Carla in Ca]

When is * going to crack?????

11. I'm a wreck. I've changed every lightbulb in the house and started

sorting clothes for Goodwill. When I'm not checking up here. Saw only one minute although it's on in the living room.

17. I am laughing so hard....

My first time posting here after months of reading.

I, too, have been so nervous listening to the debates thus far...and the visual of "alcuno" changing all the light bulbs and sorting Goodwill clothes is priceless! I could have been doing the same thing.

I will say that the more * talks, the more excited I am getting for Kerry! And Kerry is hammering some great points. I was wondering where his JFK #1 Cuban Missile Crisis story was going, but it made a perfect point. De Gaulle saying the "word of the President of the United States is good enough for me..."

What country leader could say that today???

Thanks everyone for being a beacon of light these last few months!

12. The two shots of vodka mixed with Diet Sunkist helped me.

May not be for everyone, though.

[vivalarev]

13. He just needs to finish the game...

but Kerry has a huge lead to work with right now....actually Kerry could say nothing for the rest of the night...every time * speaks, he makes himself look worse

[lilymidnite]

14. Anejo Patron tequila ...

just a smidge

[somerled42]

15. I am a farking wreck.

I can't watch it. I just cant. My stomach is in knots, and i'm really sweaty and nervous. This is make or break time.

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. Ativans.

I hoard my prescription very carefully for occasions such as this.

[KoKo]

18. I couldn't watch or listen after Lehrer's "I" opening. Have been drifting

all over the board tonight...but couldn't stick with anything until this post...My scan says Bush is doing badly from DU'ers posting here...but I don't know if that's just "our" spin.

Normally, I would be into this...have done many DU running threads on other topics like Senate, Byrd Speeches...etc. I couldn't deal tonight ...

Yeah...I was too freaked and didn't know it til the last minute...

[Lefty48197]

19. YOU MUST DO YOUR PART TO CONTROL THE SPIN

The Republicans will spin the hell out of this debate. Make sure that your voices are heard.

[Jasper 91]

20. I was literally shaking when it started

It took me about 20 mins to calm down and relax and bask in the glory that is JFK .
