I would love to be excited by this latest news,

[Ilsa]

but we won't know until the polls are closed and all of the ballots are counted. IOW, let's not get cocky. There is still work to do.

1. You are right My Friend

I’m getting a little irrational in my head tonight reading the possible good news. It may be quite awhile before we know who the next Prez is. Thankfully we have a D in the White House to referee.

[surfered]

2. True, but I'm feeling better.

Iowa wasn’t in play. Neither campaign spent any money there. This is gobsmacking!

[RandySF]

3. Iowa Republicans are pushing back.

They say Trump is up by five.

[BOSSHOG]

4. So there's no need for them to vote

Good for them.

[RandySF]

9. 5+ is still underwhelming

[calimary]

5. Yep. There is still a lot of work to do.

But it sure will be joyful work if we win! Not to mention - BIGTIME celebrating America's First Woman President!!! That's something I've been hoping for - for YEARS.

[BlueKota]

8. Having a Woman President has been on my

bucket wish list for years too.

[Aristus]

14. Mine, too.

My entire life has been shaped, defined, and enhanced by strong women. To finally have a woman in the White House!

[Scrivener7]

6. The nausea will continue until the blue lady sings.

Honestly, I'm with you. I'm just trying to keep on keeping on till we know for sure.

[Aviation Pro]

7. Indeed, cross the tape

Sprint to the finish line.

10. We can be happy we're seeing expected trends.

We're seeing evidence of the evaporation of trump support in the closing days -- evaporation that was the most likely way things would go -- as people who planned to vote for him procrastinated, and then ultimately found (or are finding) they just can't stomach it.

This doesn't mean we've won. Overconfidence is a GOTV killer. Particularly when we see the barriers and hurdles that will be erected: long lines, faulty equipment in democratic leaning demographics. Someone standing in a two hour line who thinks "she's winning anyway," is more likely to give up.

Harris needs the vote of every person leaning her way; every single one.

As Simon Rosenberg says, we are winning, but we haven't won yet. Anything can happen. We've gotta hold steady and turn out every vote possible if we're to win in this final stretch.

16. I'm hoping people started listening to

what tfg was saying. I hope they were watching him, his growing feebleness, disinhibition, lack of focus. I hope they noticed who wasn't supporting him anymore, snd even his wife appears to be MIA.

[TwilightZone]

11. Cautiously optimistic.

That's been my approach ever since Harris entered the campaign.

[Skittles]

12. I do not believe ANY polls

seriously, I do not

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Good rule of thumb at this late date, however...

I make an exception for the Selzer IA poll.

I’ve been called a “wet blanket” and worse on DU for my poll skepticism, but the Selzer poll data is a BFD.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. No to cocky, but yes to excited

The Selzer IA poll is a BFD.
