This is my first diary, not because I haven't had any ideas to write about, but rather because Dkos is just too fast for me, you all always beat me to it. In fact this idea has probably been discussed but it's vague enough and important enough to warrant repeating.
I'm as happy as the rest of you about our substantial lead in the polls (8% according to CNN's poll of polls). I want to look forward to 4 years without rebublican control, 4 years with actual solutions, and 4 years with a far reaching progressive agenda as much as anyone. All I'm saying is that it hasn't happened yet.
Calm down, take a deep breath. We still have almost a month to go and only an 8% lead. One major gaffe, one succesful attack add, one national security crisis, or even the legendary Bradeley effect could erase all of that.
