QUIET OPTIMISM

I know. It is all over. The GOoPers are going to sweep Congress. The Demos are in deep shit.

Obama's ratings are so low that.................

Wait a minute.

The scale began tipping last week. I read all this stuff and more and more things are looking like this.

Abandon All Hope? Not Quite Yet.

Of course, I have been following all of this closely. I know about peaking too early. The Repubs may just have been doing that.

The races all across the country have been tightening up. There is a lot less air between any front runner of any party than there was, were. That can only be good for the party that was behind.

There is also the GOTV. Get Out The Vote.

There is an enormous Democrat effort being made in the Howard Dean fifty state strategy approach. That coupled with the Obama machine. I get the mail day after day.

I send money.

Now. What if it does turn around. Good. I expect the same shit we have had from the Republicans and a lot of conflict.

What if it doesn't? What if it turns out the Ol' Orange John Boehner runs the House?

Then I expect the same shit we had from the Republicans and a lot of conflict.

The same.

Don't forget. Obama is a canny scrapper. Don't forget he he is President and has the veto.

With all the talk about what they are going to do, the fact is that the GOP can't run Congress to suit its own agenda. They have to have the override ability of a Prexy veto. And so on.

I have voted already. So have an awful lot of people and the Demo registered ballots currently outweigh the GOP. The enthusiasm gap on their side has dwindled and ours is on the rise.

Obama had 35,000 people in a frenzy in LA yesterday.

He is fired up and ready to go and so are they.
