65. Yeah, you're right.... BUT
The majority of DUer's (myself included) still have a very valid point that excessive defeatism must not be encouraged. Some constructive criticism is okay in my book. But when there are a flood of "concern trolls," it really can erode morale and de-motivate people.

Obama is better candidate than John Kerry was in a number of important ways. The political climate is also better for us this time around. We have a very reasonable chance at winning this and we need to stay focused on doing just that. In all honesty, I can't deny that it could go either way, but I remain fairly optimistic about our prospects.
