7. I get some people don't want to get their hopes up.

This is how I am as a sports fan. If my team is up 10 points with five minutes to go, I still don't declare victory. Hell, even if it's two minutes and they're up 10, I'm still worried.

But you know, this is different than any of the past two elections. We've got to realize that. Just because Kerry & Gore lost does not mean Obama is destine to lose, either.

8. They are either a) legitimate hand-wringers with a Cassandra complex

or b) doing a poor job of infiltrating by trying to sow doubt despite the polls.

9. Ease up on the Democrats here at DU. When you've been lied to, kick in the teeth and Raped Twice...

...you have reason to be a little Paranoid.
