To be honest, I'm as concerned -- if not more so -- about those who fill the Congressional seats as who sits in the Oval Office. Being President carries a lot of power, but in the end, it's Congress that passes or fails a proposed bill. And due to my Congressmen's passing of the "bailout" bill, which I was against, I'll be voting AGAINST every incumbent in office. So there!

I'll be at my desk, one way or another. I don't think anybody I know is going to jump off a bridge, but, we might need to be patient with a few people if McCain pulls it out of this dive.

But, despite the cynicism of some, I have – after two years on these boards – developed a certain fondness for this weird little community of CM posters (even the one’s that irk the shit out of me sometimes).

Okay it’s like this:

For the record – I’ve already stated that I am going to vote for McCain because Obama is too far left for me. I have also stated that I am aware that in New York State this makes my vote a wasted vote (but it’s my vote, damn it, and I’m making it). This thread isn’t about who I am voting for or why. It’s the day after the election that I’m concerned about.

At this point I concede that it is probably Obama’s election and if that is the outcome, then on the morning of Wednesday, November the 5th, I’ll shrug my shoulders and then I’ll go to work.

Still, there are twenty days left to the election and McCain may pull off an upset, in which case I will shrug my shoulders and then go to work. It’s some of you I am worried about.

Seriously. I don’t think some of you on these boards could handle the let down. Do I have to be worried that some of you may get suicidal, pop a vein in your head, or go off the deep end in some other manner?

With the possible exception of Sanity, I don’t see the same kind of emotional investment in this election from those on the right (on these boards, not in society in general) as I do those on the left.

So, do I have to worry?

Don't worry about me, Marc. I'd hang around just to say I told you so when it all goes to shit if Obama's elected, and I know that power always swings both ways. With Obama and Pelosi and Reid running the show, in four years we'll be headed for a GOP landslide that would make Jimmy Carter PROUD of the job he did holding Ronald Reagan off.

I'm interested in this election because I love my country, but I'm not worried about myself or my family regardless of what a Democratic trifecta may bring. Like a good boy scout, I'm prepared for another depression, probably better than most.

But... still. It's good to know I'm in your thoughts, Marc. I hope you don't stay up too many nights losing sleep thinking about me.

See? Some people get emotional over the elections, you get emotional over a collection of collarchat posters... it's all good :-) .

Lately, the only thing that has been keeping me up at night is the young couple who live above me when they are having sex.

"Ram it! Ram it! Ram it! Ramit Ramit Ramit Raaaaaaaaammmmmmmiiiiiit!"
(apparently, she really like him to ram it)

I do agree, however, that an Obama victory will lead to a Republican victory four or eight years down the road. The whirly-gig goes on.

It’s just that, as I said, Obama supporters seem to have more emotion invested into this election than McCain supporters.

Better noose than moose.

Speaking of which, in the event of an Obama victory, I would recommend buying guns and ammo as an investment, because I will bet you that their value would in that event be sure to increase. Especially the more powerful and automatic models, as well as hand guns.

It's funny: Perhaps because I'm an Obama supporter, I've had the opposite perception. To me, the anti-Obama crowd seems much more passionate. Several posters honestly do seem to be coming unhinged.

I’m not ready to go into apocalyptic mode just yet.
