Oh, you mean like the Republicans did when they showed nothing BUT confidence right down to when Ohio was called for Obama? Sorry, but "worrying" about something is actually bringing a problem to light and then addressing the problem before it does any damage. I guess we could just be confident and not give a shit about voter suppression or pull numbers. Let me know how ignoring the facts works out for you in the future.
