15. Why "wait and see"? Why don't we just give the fuck up?

I'm really getting weary of all the non-stop trashing of Wendy and her campaign here at DU; it's gone way beyond anything resembling constructive criticism at this point. If she makes a major blunder every day from now until election day (which, of course, she won't), Wendy will still be infinitely better than Greg Abbott (talk about somebody without a visible campaign). She's worth fighting for, she's worthy of our best efforts. Bellyaching on a Democratic site doesn't count as "best efforts," as far as I'm concerned.
