1. It's His Job To Be Upbeat

But optimism should never be frowned upon.

2. The chairman of DCCC isn't going to throw in the towel on national tv.

You could find Repulicans saying the same thing in 2006.

3. His job.

Right now, he's in a difficult position. Not quite "Baghdad Bob(ish)" but ... close.

4. Well we can keep the House but certain things have to fall in place for us and while I am not

saying it is impossible I do think it is unlikely. In any case GOTV is crucial. We will see who is right on Tuesday.

5. He has to be upbeat...

That is his job. To do anything else would depress turnout.

6. He's one of my favorite Dems, but I don't think we'll be celebrating on Wed.

7. I don't know why your true DEMOCRATS are letting the MSM

who are owned by the republican corporation and the Republicans themselves spook you. No matter what they say, over and over we see where they DON'T POLL CELL PHONES. And most of the land lines are in the upper salaried residences. Average Joe's don't want to pay the high cost. And look at the early returns. Besides why when the republican polling companies only poll about 700 people and goodness knows who in the hell they call do you take those people's word for the fact that this country wants the asshole republicans in office again.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT, AND I WON'T BELIEVE IT Till AFTER THE VOTES ARE COUNTED. AND IF I WERE A CANDIDATE I WOULD MAKE SURE THE VOTES ARE LEGALLY COUNTED AND RECOUNTED.
