The nerves are starting to show up

22 days until the election.....

I keep reading (and seeing on TV ) that Democrats are expected to take back the House of Representatives and we have a "better-than-even" chance to take the Senate also.....

WHOOPEEE!!!!

but, wait a minute....

I remember having these same feelings of elation and great hope/expectations before the 04 election also...the disappointment was overwhelming and I remember it well.

Will this election be any different? I don't know....I just saw Pat Buchanan on "Scarborough Country" talking about how "Yes, the Republicans are in big trouble. " BUT, according to Buchanan, "The Democrats aren't "resonating" with the voters." Hence, the Republicans will once again prevail at the ballot box. I don't trust Buchanan as far as I can throw him I hope that he's just doing the time-honored Political technique of "whistling through the graveyard".

I hope so....

I hope that there will be a huge Democratic Victory that will eclipse the "Republican Revolution of 1994" and that we get on about the business of cleaning up this mess that 12 years of a Republican Congress has created....it may take 12 more years.

At any rate, I hope these next three weeks pass quickly.....the waiting is getting on my nerves.
