3. Yes...we have something similar to Stockholm Syndrome. Not only do
Dems, on some level, enjoy losing (we get to tell the country why they are wrong and stupid) but I think we get scared we might win...

How does one explain away his writing this close to the election?

5. Well, i don't believe he has to even address this ... yet.
As long as it's only on sludge and the rw cesspools, no damage done. If the hate machine manages to push it to more mainstream channels, then he can put things into proper context.

7. I hope so
I have donated to this campaign and really want him to win. It is salacious and I have no doubt it will hit the msm. I hope I am wrong and it does not. He is so close in the polls.

9. Easy it was a fictional account of a strange Vietnamese social tradition
And having the fictional character react.

He was not writing gay kiddie porn the guy was writing about a character reacting to something he saw.

6. Yes, but because most of them are posted by cleverly concealed.....
...trolls and disruptors they will have little if no effect. I am convinced with each passing day that the tidal wave will occur and the Dems will take both houses.

First order of business, give John Conyers the gavel.

8. Nah. I don't think so. It's just that we get the heebee jeebees

10. Yes and I just click that little x to the right of em.
I don't want to hear that shit.

Republicans got a better chance of being married to Elton John than they do of winning this election.

So stop it and let's get after it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. Yeah, you might almost think
that some of these posters were *trying* to demoralize us! But that could never happen here, right? I mean, we're all Democrats and liberals and progressives here, right?

...

RIGHT???

12. Yeah, I noticed...
And I'm doing the same thing I did the last time all the defeatist concern-trolls came out of the woodwork. make liberal use of the "alert" button and the "ignore" button, in that order.

http://www.raisingkaine.com/ is a great place to get the inside scoop on all the important news from Virginia, and believe me, this sleazy Drudge gossip isn't even on the radar screen there.
