At my polling station this morning, the PKR people were very vocal and motivated. The crowd responded when they asked the drivers to sound the horn and they did! And the crowd cheered! But I overheard the BN people saying (paraphased from Bahasa), "No point shouting like that one, let them see who wins tonight lah!"

I believe until the votes were counted, almost everyone at BN still believed in their invincibility!

Invincibility my foot!

The rakyat has the FINAL say!
