Holy Cow! We're Winning!
Not to count a chicken before it's hatched, but...

It's been 32 years since we had a *real* Democrat poised at the threshold of winning the presidency, an honest person who wants to help the bottom 99% (economically speaking) of Americans. For so many years, I've had a knot in my chest that's finally starting to loosen - I'd given up hope that we'd ever reach this point again.

Obviously, nobody should let up in their efforts. But I just felt like taking a moment and reflecting on the patch of bright sun and blue sky almost hidden among the dark clouds of today's headlines.

Now, back to work. Let's get the job done!

1. Agreed
I think a lot of us thought 2004 was in the bag, but we were mistaken.

But, we're not repeating that mistake this time, which is a good thing.

2. QUIET! You aren't allowed to be hopeful around here!
They rap you on the knuckles with a ruler!

3. No we're not. Until 11/5, we're losing, no matter what the polls say...

Complacency = "Dewey Defeats Truman"

4. Not to toot but
and please correct me if I am wrong
Dewey didn't have Obama's ground game
and internet to bypass the lies of the media

Just a thought
