I read it so you don't have to. Below I have the image (no need to give him hits), but if you are skeptical of this, here is a link: https://twitter.com/...
First off, let me say the obvious. Do NOT use this as an excuse not to GOTV! This is a TURNOUT election, and our recent gains only hold if democrats, progressives, and left-leaning independents TURN OUT!
Now, how does this go over at redstate, despite the fact that he didn't post this downer on the site?
Here is one commentator Common_Cents (who is NOT any old new poster on the site mind you):
The race is over? Huh??? Romney is a guaranteed win?? Oh wait, you tweeting YOU DONT CARE WHO WINS.
A few days to go and you want your life back? as a conservative writer? how selfish and petty is that? Don't you GET PAID to do this???
What about your other tweet? E.E. "I don't care who wins......."
This is the most important election of our lives in the last 2 minutes of a close game and you want to go home??
Where are the GOTV diaries? Oh yeah, you don't give a hoot who wins, you just want your life back. Tell that to millions who have suffered this past 4 years and want their lives back.
What the heck life is that? You are "supposed" to be a conservative writer with a grass roots mission at RS. What happened to that???
This race is NOT over. This is crunch time, GOTV time. And we get a poor Erick sob story? Boo freakin hoo!!!
Your pathetic iphone review diary was even better than this. 30 days ago on a "slow" monday with nothing better to write about.
Shame on you for writing this while millions have suffered greatly this past 4 years, and America is on the brink.
Honestly, can you NOT wait to rest until next week? only a few days away? Really???
Man up!!
Disgusting.

Ouch.
Here is another tweet by Erickson that is rustling feathers at redstate (can be found in previous link):
"I just want it over"???
What type of attitude is that for a republican who feels they are winning? Are these side effects of "Mittmentum"? A "Mittmentum" hangover (can this be a DK meme)? When would Kos (or any of the other excellent leaders on this site) write anything like this? All I'm saying is that perhaps the writing's on the wall.
Also, reading other comments, you can see the slow resurgence of the poll truthers (once thought extinct after the first debate). Now that Obama looks to be (by every measure) the ACTUAL candidate with the momentum, the truthers are here to save the day! But for the first time, I am also seeing these people express concern that they will lose in 5 days time, which I had definitely NOT seen in previous weeks (unlike we who consider ALL data, good or bad).
My personal feelings? The polls are looking good, but it is truly NOT over until Nov. 7th. We still have the jobs numbers coming out tomorrow, which we all hope will at least hold at 7.8% (unemployment). If they don't, that just means we'll have to work even harder (which unlike Erickson, I'm fired up and ready to work to the bone to ensure victory for Obama). So, we must plow on (with cautious optimism) until we are %100 sure that Obama is re-elected. Until then, diaries like these are meant as a morale lift, not a victory dance!
GOTV! Obama/Biden2012!!!
