overconfidence is tempting the fates...
plan for the worst but hope for the best.

It is wrong.

They haven't lost many modern elections doing the same thing, either.

So.

and that's thanks in a good part to Obama... he will need a full eight years to clean up after 8 years of Bushit. If the GOP takes back the White House it will be 2008 all over again.

But, with the attacks on our vote, I, for one take nothing for granted.

I've already verified my own registration and that I will receive a mail ballot. I also was able to ascertain that I should have it in hand shortly after it is mailed out on October 15.

I urge EVerYONE to do so. Even if you've voted in the same place, the same way for years.
