Can you feel it ?
It is very, very subtle but the momentum is starting to turn toward the Democrats. The Republicans are on the defensive about these taxcuts for the wealthy. Most of their supporters are burnt units and don't really care if the rich get all the money, so long as Mitch McConnell, or Newt Gingrich, or Sarah Palin, or John Boehner says it will create more jobs. How many jobs have poor people created, they proudly ask?

But there are a few that ain't buying it. The Repubs will lose ground in the next credible poll we see. Can you feel it? The Repubs are on the defensive. Democrats are gaining and the Repubs are showing fear. They are acting like wild animals before the big storm hits....

6. I hope you are right.
I really do. What I FEAR however is that the pattern will hold. Democratic leadership in Congress will fold their cards and extend the tax cuts for everyone.

I hope I'm wrong.

7. The repubs started their "surge" way too early and I knew it.
There is an inevitable cycle that occurs during campaigns and when someone surges too quickly, it always bites them on the ass.

People don't like foregone conclusions.

It happened with Hillary during the primaries, if you remember.

It was her undoing.

8. I pray you are right.
We need several election cycles to purge the Democratic Party of corporatists but that is no reason to allow the election of Republican/Teabagger nutjobs.

Get out and vote!
