Fact is, you CANNOT win an election if the majority of your voters are excited to vote AGAINST the other guy rather than FOR you.
As someone who reads more than they post, this place can be as exhausting as it is informative. I thought the "woe is me" crap had subsided over the weekend, after the jobs numbers, but it seems as though some have started it back up after Pew and PPP polls, taken at the height of "Romney's debate performance prior to his flat out lies not yet taking hold" bounce. The debate seems a bit of a distant memory now, and now being factored back into the polling is unemployment falling, consumer confidence picking up, Romney's lies, countries Romney wants to bomb, and Big Bird. Yet because of Chuck Toad, Morning Blow, and others republican media toads harping on Romney's poll numbers that back the "We finally have our true horserace!" narrative they were so eager to run with for months, it seems as though half this place is in mourning. We've still got the ground game and a candidate we're excited to vote for. If we go into the last week with a tie or slight lead, we win it on the ground, I truly believe that. Everyone just needs to stay motivated, stay energized, don't get discouraged, and don't be so damn reactionary to every little thing. For better and for worse, there's still a LOOOOONG way to go in this race.
