Bandwagon effect, I hope. I don't think ''complacency'' is in the Republican dictionary so close on the heels of Election 2000. The other upside is that the news will nudge a lot of the undecideds out there...folks naturally want to be on the side that wins.

Agree.

I joined FR (Check my stats) during the runup to the 2000 folly.

I am going to violate net etiquette and shout because I pray someone hears me:

PLEASE, FRIENDS!!! SPARE THE OPTIMISM! SOME OF US REMEMBER LAST TIME! This could be the FINAL BATTLE by the MSM!

PLEASE.

Thanks.

I disagree. Give us optimism, just not too much of it. If the polls for W were gloom and doom, FReepers and others here would generally take a fatalistic attitude that would be self fulfilling. On the other hand, too much optimism leads to complacency. No, some optimism with a touch of fear is what we need.

I think you meant ''Share'' the optimism, didn't you? And, yes, I think that the msm is just about kaput.
