Reasons I'm optimistic (and reasons I'm not)

[mr715]

1. I am more optimistic than not.

We're going to win the House by a lot.

If people on the east coast go to bed knowing who controls the Senate, that means we lost. If we still don't know control of the Senate until a day or two after election day, I'd wager we'll be the ones winning the majority.

When we have a majority in both chambers, we can do some damage control and do nothing but prop up the Democratic party in advance of the 2028 election.
