Otherwise you might die on your own!

5. And I thought you were going to say another PBS poll is on it's way.
If that was the case, I'd be worried too.

6. Don't. Worry about the problem at hand.
2010 is safe. Everyone knows now that Republicans are idiots. Now, it's not about who wins 2010 (Dems will!), it's about what we can get accomplished.

We are only screwn if we don't use this opportunity, regardless of who wins in 2010, 2012, or 2014.

Put down your "concern" picket and pick up a Yes, We Can! picket.

Defeatism creates Defeat.

7. I think you are right, it is not about health care, it is jobs
If the job picture has not improved and that improvement is noticed many of the dems elected in 2006 and 2008 will need to dust off their resumes. Jobs and the economy should be mission one for the Whitehouse. After all it is the economy stupid can cut both ways.

PS. Remember Reagan won in 1984 with the simple slogan of are you better off now then 4 years ago. He took 49 states.

9. 2010
The biggest problem Is people on our side not being excitied to go to polls.However If President
Obama has a good approval rating,a Health Care reform of some kind that Is good passes,the Economy
continues to recover and we see some troops coming home from iraq then this will help get our people
out.

The House-The conservative Blue dogs especilly from the South are the ones In the most danger of losing
on our sides.especilly If they come from DIstricts Mccain won.However Moderate Republicans who came
from Districts Obama won could also be In trouble.Regardless I expect our numbers to go down In the
House.

The Senate-People need to take a deep breeth here.In 2005 only 1 of the 6 seats we won In 2006 we were
ahead In the polls.In 2007 we were behind In a few states we won In 2008.I think Dodd Is out most
Endanged Seat.Now considering how big the antiObama feeling Is In the south I think Lincoln In
Arkansas should be worried.Crist will win In Florida.Some Democrats will likely cross over In Florida to vote for him.I think Republicans will keep Kentuckey.NC could go either way.Remember forget the polls now.This seat always flips every 6 years between partys.Remember noone really thought Elizabeth Dole would lose here.We have good shots at winning seats here In Missouri as well as In Ohio.Plus NH
Is also a shot at a pickup.Out of the appointed seats seats we should be more worried not about Illinois or Delaware but at Colorado.

Governorships-These will be determined by how people think the economy Is doing In Invivual states.

10. You better worry. If there is no public option.
Why? Because Democrats simply won't be energized and excited to get out the vote. And the party out of power is always energized

12. You're right to worry. If the Democrats fuck us on health care, the Republicans
are gonna come roaring back like they never went away. Bet on it. And, I'm sorry to say, we probably deserve what we get.
