I'm actually starting to feel a little optimistic. I could be totally wrong on this, but - with the recent polls & reactions I have just heard personally (Danectodal, I know) - I am getting a sense that the voting public is just wising up to this BS.
It seems like, with each new thing that the media tells us is supposed to be so important, like Wright, "bitter" and Ayers, voters are saying no, we're onto you now; we know this is nothing compared to my cousin serving his 3rd tour or my brother being out of work since last summer.
It was very heartening to hear scattered boo's for Charlie Gibson the other night.
