Optimism...
I think we should try and be optimistic about the upcoming elections. I know that I am trying to be. I have seen here on DU numerous posts that seem to be negative and I feel that they are quite discouraging. Yes, I know there are reports of voter fraud and spastic e-voting machines, but we will deal with that and we will overcome it. I really truly do feel that the Dems are going to have the House and Senate. I would be surprised otherwise. I feel that most Americans want a change and they are willing to go to the polls and prove it.

This is just how I feel. I can't really articulate what I want to say, just that we should keep on keepin' on and be strong, now more than ever.

I am going to continue to do my part, however small that may be, to give the Dems a majority. I have been busting my butt working with the coordinated campaigning center here and I am going to go and vote.

2. I beleive that if the GOP do try to steal it
they would be met with alot of opposition and there would be an outcry. I don't think that most Americans want to continue with Bush and the neocons in office. I have been reading more and more reports, not just on DU but on other sites, that people are starting to support Democratic candidates.

A slogan that my local Dem campaigning center uses and I actually was driving behind a bus that had it on it's backside: "Don't Take No Static, Vote Straight Democratic" I got to say, that for the first time in my short voting life, I am going to take heed of that advice.
