"Have a very, very good feeling about tonight"

They have high hopes. Hiiiigh Hopes! Yes, it is still early in the evening and the DUmmies still have high hopes. Call it the comedic prelude to Der Untergang as you can see in this still optimistic THREAD, "Have a very, very good feeling about tonight." Freudenschade, baby! So let us now watch the DUmmies in the moments before their shattered innocence express their HIGH HOPES in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who has his own high hopes about lots of DUmmie comedy material tonight, is in the [brackets]:

Have a very, very good feeling about tonight

[You will need to get high, dopes!]

I believe we will have 54 Senate seats, 234 House Seats, and have a few pleasant surprises in the Governorships.

[I BEEEEEEEELEEEEEEEVEEE!!!]

Thanks DU for getting out there and voting.

[How many times? And now to the rest of the Pollyanna DUmmies...]

I'm torn between feeling slightly optimistic and feeling like we'll get b-slapped again

[The latter is the realistic scenario.]

And you know what I'm going to celebrate all our wins and all the great work done by the Dem volunteers and activists.

[Pop open that Freudenschade victory champagne...NOW!!!]

The ONLY way we can lose is if the GOP cheats/steals like we know they do. They will try, given the ridiculous predictions of their M$M mouthpieces -- but it won't be enough.

[So should we keep a sharp lookout for vote fraud in Harris County, TX and King County, WA?]

I just don't want everyone (1) crying and screaming; and/or (2) shouting "stolen election"! The polls are pretty clear, and even if they're wrong, it's not going to save us from losing the House. Just some reality-based talk here.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I felt good back when we thought Kerry was going to take the White House. I will never again get my hopes up like that. It just hurt too danged much.

[Yes, how well I remember the DUmmies celebrating their Freudenschade victory in 2004...and I still haven't stopped laughing.]

**spewing coffee**

[Soon you will be spewing dinner.]
