Is this what they mean by the "Silly Season"?

Big Bird attacks, Big Bird ads, polls, CONCERN TROLLS, speeches based on lies, pundits losing their minds, wonks losing their minds because of the pollsters and the pundits losing their minds.....

Vote, volunteer, breathe, and relax.

You see a concern troll actually has a concern, but a doomsayer sees the end of the world in everything that comes down the line. A Doomsayer is ready to declare the sky is falling on any poll that is bad for Obama. DoomSayer's are the real threat because they look innocent till you see through the pattern. Beware the Doomsayer.

I am confident that it will all shake out and be fine. Obama has a LOT going for him and we can't forget that.

At the same time, we have to be supportive of our brothers and sisters here who are hurting over that debate...
