In fact, being confident is a good thing. It takes the campaign to a higher level.

We have to make it "does" win and it will be too early for that until Nov. 9.

we are easily one single 'October Surprise' away from losing - the divide is so narrow. It will all come down to who gets their voters to go out and vote.

this time though I feel like things have started so much sooner because of the personalities involved - they're both celebrities and universally recognized. Also, after 2004 and 2008 (for very different reasons) I think more people began to pay attention and take sides sooner rather than later.

But, overall I agree with your outlook.

one minute I say there is no way she can lose, the next minute, I'm scared she won't win.

Read my sig line.

Just one.

Now think. Seriously. Everyone can get one voter to register. I did four just this week and I'm not at all comfortable at this. I just had a conversation with a co-worker who was very disgusted with Trump, and asked if she and her family were registered to vote. Turns out they had never been motivated enough in the past, but with just some encouragement and brief instruction, the whole family registered.

Just open your ears and listen. Believe it or not, there are many out there who are just embarrassed because they don't know how to get started.
