it’s funny, because i see one wave of news bring predictions that this issue they’re showing will be the defining issue of the 2014 election, & then the next wave of news it becomes that THAT will be the defining issue of the 2014 election. i realized that this 2014 ‘forecasting’ was quite a fickle thing, & that a lot could change within the time it took to arrive at that occasion.

then the best pundits even, my favorite ones, started saying/having guests saying Republicans were just about mathematically sealed to win the house & senate – ?! –

remember how those ‘defining issues’ turned out to be phantasmal? you know – the forecast was wrong? there is no reason to commit to fatalism this far out like that, given the rainbow of possibilities still possible from now until the election. we could win by 40 points . . . really, i believe that.

i think when you’re confronted with something like that so far off, even down to the wire, you need to be scheming & thinking your hardest what’s important, what wins, & how can we change the situation to tactfully use that knowledge; address concerns & address goals, etc; little strategems like that.

anyway, i see now yesterday/today that polls have swung from Republican to Democrat in like at least 4 recent elections, even tho the Koch Brothers were smear campaigning there.

just goes to show, fatalism is unwarranted, especially when the future is so unpredictable. if you see a problem, until the fat lady has sung, it is a CHALLENGE, not a certain loss. there is ALWAYS that chance. that’s what a good pro athlete believes & so should you. this is an opportunity to maximize our potential – to maximally self-actualize as a party – while rolling with the punches of losing in the polls, bad numbers, etc. there’s always that chance that you could come from behind, you have to be a survivor in the face of those things, not commit to political forecasting fatalism for one of the two major parties in an election.

i mean really, if i had to guess which party would get rocked in the polls, i’d say it’d be republicans. so, sometimes you just need to change your perspective.
