Let’s not count our chickens before they hatch.
We have to play like we’re ten points down with two minutes left.
We have to give 110% and leave it all out there on the field.
We’re in the final stretch. This is where our experience and skill will pay off.
This thing is a long way from over. We have to maintain our concentration.
Ohplease-ohplease-ohplease-ohplease!!! Let there be Republican coat-tails!
We now return to your regularly scheduled haranguing!
Finishing strong is the key to victory!
The enemy hasn’t gone away, you know!

This news is astonishing. The Dems must be sweating bullets. Got to love it. I suspect in the end they will keep a majority in the House but perhaps their dreams of getting back to 1980s era numbers will not come true. In the Senate they probably will gain but if it is only 2 or 3 that is a whole lot better than the 7 or more they hope for. If Obama should still get elected president then they had better watch out in 2010 as that might be a bad year for them.
Still, things could turn back in the Dems’ favor. Look how long they held a big lead, now that seems to have evaporated. So the trends can change quickly. It’s a little scary how often voters will change their minds. I guess all we can do is work for and contribute to the best candidates and hope common sense wins.
.....The enemy hasn’t gone away.....
Let’s kick up the rhetoric a notch from sports to war.
We have to attack, attack, attack.
We need to build a very large ammo dump of contributions to the various RNC and Presidential funds. We need to be sure the funds are available to fight the battle and exterminate the Rat enemy all across the battlefront.
We must mount and limber up the big guns like Newt and Fred to concentrate fire on the important targets. We must concentrate fire or Smart Bombs on individuals in the MSM. The targets must not be general like NBC, but very specific like Matthews or Brokaw.
Rat blood and guts spilled on the field spell victory
