I hate Tom Brokaw.

We just watched NBC Nightly "News" and Tom Brokaw had a piece on "undecided voters" in Colorado and what they are looking for at the debate.

Of course, it was probably just coincidence that every one of the voters interviewed was leaning Republican. Of course.

All of a sudden. we articluated this HUGE not even close victory overnight.
It was a welcome change from Bush V Gore 2000 though.

This does not mean stop working, but remain supremely confident, but vigilant.
We WILL win this.

I couldn't possibly agree more.Brokaw is a pompous ass,and I am sick of his ode to daddy,the greatest generation.I think the founding fathers,and those who fought the civil war would disagree very strongly

Stupid people might "lean Republican" to get attention and be courted.

Brokaw should have been required to call them a bunch of lazy, lollygagging, loquacious, lackadaisical losers!!!!
