1. Based on the exit polls, yes, I did.
There's a huge variance from the exit polls.

2. I never thought that it would be a landslide.

I live in a solid red state. Thus, I hear far too loudly both sides whether I want to or not. The Bush supporters are dogmatically loyal.

3. But that still doesn't explain the exit polls.
Something fishy is going on.

6. I never thought landslide, but even EXPECTING it to be close
isn't easing the stress. Not one bit.

7. Based on common sense, yes I did.
I thought 4 years of W counted for something. Apparently not. The proportion of bigots/human beings is unchanged - and it's disappointing.

12. It's still early
Hang in there guys, its not over by a long shot.

We've waited 4 long years, just hang in there a little longer.

It always goes this way, R takes a early lead.

Not over, till it's over.

18. I did, based on new voters and all that
Now I cannot prove it, but methinks there is a lot of strange thigns going on

I will take the 311 that Zogby is predicting

19. Still thinking landslide
Too much an optimist to think otherwise. But seriously, in a rational thinking world it would be a total blowout. It just goes to give credit to the masterful job of propaganda and group think that the greedheads have been spewing for so long.

This ain't over yet and I am not accepting * as president of my country.

I find myself ashamed of at least half of my fellow citizens.

23. Of course not
Nobody could have really thought that, they were saying it to be optimistic.

For God's sake, Bush would have carried Virginia, Arkansas, and those others if he were charged with sodomy with a minor.

25. Bush victory
Do we need to think about how we'll handle the next 4 years if (GOD FORBID) Shrub wins this scam of an election?
