Generally speaking, there was a lot of overconfidence. I remember being totally stunned on election night. Shortly thereafter I freeped Joe Liebemans house!
As a result of 2000 many here are more cautious, and some are outright doom and gloomers! Welcome aboard.
I am thinking about taking the rest of the week off of paying attention to the news and the polls. Of course I have been saying that for the last two weeks and it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for some perspective. Now I understand the mindset here a little better.
