Please, everyone. Avoid panic. [View all]

As more information about Comey's rule-breaking news release is made known, the apparent damage it caused to Clinton will abate.

Further, there is likely to be a release of information that is damaging to Trump early this week. There's little question that the Clinton campaign has negative information ready to release. Opposition research has been going on for some time, and there's no doubt that all of the negative stuff about Trump has not been revealed so far.

Early voting continues, and millions of early votes are already in. By November 8, the picture of the race may well look very different than it does this weekend.

GOTV! That's how to minimize the impact of Comey's ill-considered and fact-free revelation.
