I swear, today it seems like some of you are actively LOOKING for things to be depressed about.
"ONOES, even though I thought we were going to win 375 Electoral Votes, RCP says we may only win 330. We're in trouble."

"ONOES, Nate Silver now gives McCain a 6% chance of winning, even though he said 3% yesterday. We're toast."

"ONOES, we're not going to beat McCain by double digits in the popular vote. We're sunk."

"ONOES, we're having trouble sealing the deal in Indiana. We're kaput."

"ONOES, Obama can't seem to get above 89% at Intrade. We're dead."

"ONOES, political experts Dick Morris, Rudy Giuliani, and Bill Kristol still think the Republicans can win. We're done for."

"ONOES AND MORE ONOES, I overheard somebody in my Solid Blue State say they were voting for McCain. We're SCREWN!"

I think I've FINALLY hit my limit in terms of concern. You guys want to panic, just think about where we were at this time in 2004, and 2000. Would you rather be a Republican or a Democrat right now? JEEZ.

I'm going out for some fresh air. Continue to mope away.

1. Meh.
It's scary, considering what they did in 2000, and that we're only a day and a half away.

5. 2000?!
What are you smoking?! That race was stolen because it was so close--and nobody DOUBTED that race was going to be a nail-biter. If I remember correctly, half the polls give Gore a tiny win, half gave him a loss.

If McCain won, it wouldn't just be an upset--it would be the upset of the century. This is NOTHING like 2000.

2. Hey now! Don't you know
we won't be motivated to vote unless we are totally demoralized by the thought of 'tightening' polls?

I think I need some air too... oy vey.

4. It's getting close to the end. Just keep your head up and keep fighting! Don't get discouraged!
We've gone through 2 years of this! We now only have 2 more days!
