1. Or, don't panic and tone down the hyperbole

And get out the vote anyway.

3. Perhaps you didn't read the reports of those surprise results???

Too busy working on your laid back, relaxed demeanor?

4. I read them and understand them.

I just don't think that hair on fire theatrics gets us anywhere. There is no shortage of people on this site proclaiming doom and gloom at the slightest hint of a tightening poll, it's counterproductive. Let's not use fear as a motivator, the other side does that. Let's instead understand that the race was always going to be tighter than those 10 point polls would suggest and get to work.

5. Fear of reduced turnout is worth promoting!

Excitement (with exclamation points) is warranted.

We'll agree on getting to work, if not on acceptable emotional tone. Thanks.

2. I'm not panicking. I'm yelling enthusiastically!

Although I do understand that hyperbole is not condoned this election season.

6. Of the three

only one (Michigan) was a massive upset. The other two were very narrow leads for the other position with a narrow win. Michigan was a multi candidate poll and those often can be off by a decent amount. Yes, we need to vote, but if we do, we have this.
