I am getting tired of this gloom and doom

I like Kos analysis http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/30/1125948/-Battleground-snapshot-Romney-can-t-break-out
and here also http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/30/1125664/-No-one-thinks-Romney-will-win-because-he-won-t

I go here to get info and what do I see at DU a bunch of defeatist. Lets look at the facts the RNC convention has been terrible bad press even from fox and we are going to lose? And you know what crazy our economy is improving, You know who won with a higher unemployment rate at the end of a first term than when he started Dip Bush Jr. People know the economy is not Obama's fault they know the policies that led to the recession. So WTF. We have our convention next week with a dynamic President. We are right with the issues, more people across the country agree with our views.
and yes I know that we have to worry about voter repression. But anyone of you think the Democratic party is oblivious to this.
Our party has money, This Democratic party fights back, this is not 2004

get grip please all you doom sayers

I left DKos because of their doom and gloom. Still love Markos, but his minions were a bunch of whiners. Has it changed? I haven't been there in about 2 years.

11. Fuck that. The GOP doesn't have a chance without some MAJOR "boojie woojie" with the machines.

We've already won this one and they know it. They can try to cheat (wouldn't be the first time), but they can't win legitimately. The GOP threw rMoney and rLyan out there to absorb the bad vibes. They're waiting for 2016 to run a serious candidate.

or the GOP steals it this is a done deal. Romney has all the charisma of a wet noodle, while Obama regardless of what people think of his policies is a damn Celebrity.

Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
