All the articles and op-eds about the internal Republican blame game are making me nervous. I'm worried complacency will set in.
"The United States presidential election of 1948 is considered by most historians as the greatest election upset in American history. Virtually every prediction (with or without public opinion polls) indicated that incumbent President Harry S. Truman would be defeated by Republican Thomas E. Dewey. Truman won, overcoming a three-way split in his own party. Truman's surprise victory was the fifth consecutive win for the Democratic Party in a presidential election. Truman's election confirmed the Democratic Party's status as the nation's majority party, a status they would retain until the conservative realignment in 1968."

And lest we forget, in 1990 Virginia gubenatorial candidate Douglas Wilder was ahead in the pre-election polls by 13 points. He won by one point.
Everyone, please, keep working like this race is neck and neck. We are going to need all the state-by-state rocket fuel we have to get our man into the White House.
A few depressed wingnuts do not guarantee victory for our side.
