I know I'm not the only one at DU with that problem! Good news is definitely great news in this case, though.

saw a story this morning on the CBS news about ol Nate, it was pretty good. I love the CBS Sunday News, it's a more positive news

It's like crack.

Funny that about three weeks ago his updates were giving me panic attacks. Now it's comforting and calms my anxiousness.

I don't view the election as in the bag, but it does ease the anxiousness when I read Nate's work.
