I've noticed, of late on DU...

...that there is less and less enthusiasm. Even the major headlines are only about current events.

In months previous, it was awesome...each day had a new screw up by Romney, positive feedback from polls...
Now, all's quiet on the western front.

I sure hope we can beat these bastards. I don't want a repeat of Bush II - Bush I - Reagan. It's a tired and failed attempt for us, but obviously not for the 1%.

I've already voted (1x) and donated twice. Let's go!

There's a lot at stake and people get nervous as election day nears.

There's a lot of interest in the newly released Mormon temple videos tonight. Wow, is pretty much all I can say.

I wasn't helping any with that post.
I probably hit the wave while it was riding high. But I still think we'll win this!

We don't have as much time to spend on DU, but our enthusiasm is still present.
