Everyone, I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread for tonight, similar to the "Debate the Debates" threads that we''ve had in the past. I know many of us (myself included) are very excited about the results of this election and will be at home tonight, glued to the TV and the computer.

Please follow these rules:

1. Absolutely NO personal attacks. If you''re not sure if what you''re about to post is a personal attack, then it probably is. Don''t post it.

2. Be respectful of everyone, especially the supporters of "the other guy." If your candidate wins, please be sensitive to those who supported the losing candidate. I''m sure those people will be very sad and upset, and we all need to show compassion. On the flip side of this, if your candidate loses, please refrain from badmouthing the winner and/or those who voted for him. We''ve all had plenty of opportunity to state our views on the individual candidates and those who support them. This is not the place to rehash those arguments.

3. Have fun!!! Breathe a sigh of relief that the election is finally OVER, and we can all go back to being friends again!

Everyone, please feel free to add rules to this list if you can think of any more. Thank you!

Haven, I have to confess: My MIL stopped by last night because it was DH''s birthday, and I was on PS for a little bit while she was at our house! LOL!

After a bit of the an absence around here (I didn''t care for the bickering anymore), I''d be happy to be around if you''ll have me! Amelia goes to bed at 6 now (woo hoo) so I''ll be on shortly thereafter. I love election night...it''s better than watching sports.

Honestly, after reading a lot in the last few months, I think both have the potential to be fine presidents. I''ll be good with the outcome either way.

I''m anxiously awaiting the end of this day as well. I''m feeling pretty positive about my candidate, but we shall see.

Whatever else, my son will not grow up in the same world that many of us did. There is an entire generation of children now that will think it''s perfectly natural for an African-American or a woman to lead our country, and that is an amazing thing.

I''m interested to see how close it will be--it could be a very long night!

Also, Irish, I think your rules are great.

And thanks, NEL! Hopefully the rules are complete enough and specific enough, and hopefully everyone will follow them. After all the negativity that''s been going on here lately, I think it''s high time for some POSITIVITY!!!

I wish I could hang around but I hope to be eating and being merry at a huge bash (free food and booze who could say no!?!?)

If I''m lucky, my guy will win and I''ll be drunk as a skunk....(do skunks get drunk?)

Cool MrsS. If they come after us, let''s hold up our kids. No sane person would lay a finger on such cuties (and hopefully the person holding them!)

Well *I* wasn''t invited to any real life parties (wonder why
3.gif
2.gif
) ... so I might be around! Just got back from voting & feel relieved. Maybe I''ll get my free Starbucks coffee later this afternoon ... No Ben & Jerry''s around here darnitall. I feel VERY lucky that I live in a small town with no lines & easy breezy voting. So my thoughts are with everyone who doesn''t have it so easy -- no matter what your affiliation or heh associations

HAPPY ELECTION DAY!

I''ll be here! I''ve been lurking on this board and dipping my toes in, but I''ll be up all night (or at least until they call CA and tell me about Prop 8) and I''ll definitely be on this thread.

Is it weird that I''m nervous? My stomach has been flopping around or in knots all day.

Either way, there will be a few drinks involved.
