Here in the office there isn't much chatter going on, so I suspect that I'm surrounded by Republicans for the most part. The few that I know to be Republicans are looking a bit grim and aren't saying much.
The party I was invited to is a bunch of twentysomethings, so I'm pretty sure they'll all be for Obama. It'll be held down in the Fan, which is the arty/liberal section of town anyway.
The thing that will be really of interest to me this weekend will be hearing from my parents. The little Adirondack town I come from is staunch Republican territory. If Obama wins as I expect, there will likely be much wailing and gnashing of teeth up there.
The thing that I did not expect is that Jerry Pournelle, noted sci-fi writer and political conservative, has been publishing some pretty sketchy things on his blog, including things from the Daily Mail. I'm a bit disappointed in him.
EDIT: and regarding assassination attempts: I would be willing to bet that there are plenty of them in planning now, and there have probably been quite a few stopped that we never heard about. He and his family are very brave when you think about it- I don't doubt in the slightest that they're in mortal danger from the racists.
