6. I would love to be pleasantly surprised!
I became a cynic and a pessimist about the U.S. public and media during the 1980 election. Any Dem victory since then, or any favorable bit in the press, is a pleasant surprise. But there haven't been enough of those.

7. This is catching on
far beyond the worst expectations of the administration. Those DUers who insisted from day one that this story had POWER were absolutely correct. They knew what this meant -- and that the mainstream Americans would be outraged when they found out what a snake this president is.
