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 agree with you.
Democrats consistently provide information/ disinformation. It makes life much harder for them, when we provide information BEFORE they are able to publish their disinformation.
We understand the necessity of voting, especially in this election. However, I must admit to being amazed at the level of enthusiasm and motivation among Bush supporters.
We aren't stupid. Give us the information. It motivates and enthuses us....

Maybe I am just superstitious. But I would rather lose sleep tomorrow night because of adrenaline rushes rather than despair.
