Good question. People want to know what it's like to be a candidate the day before an election. I'd have to say there's lots of things on my mind. I'm panicked and calm all at the same time. Panicked in that I worry I haven't done enough. I didn't find enough votes. I didn't communicate my message well enough. I should have done this, not done that. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
I'm calm in that I know it's out of my hands. I don't think there are enough undecideds out there to change tomorrow's outcome. I actually managed to pick up about six votes this afternoon on my run. I was stopping at houses that had yard signs and appeared to have someone at home. I'm pretty sure I flipped one voter from an opponent so that's really a net gain of two. But I'm done. I think today's run and those six votes were more for my piece of mind than anything else.
I probably won't sleep much tonight. This is how I used to feel in high school before a big track meet. Nervous. Excited. Anxious. Optimistic. Worried.
So that's what is going through my mind. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way! |
