I had another diary entry that I deleted because the 1st two posts were strongly critical of my approach. I am going to put this up here briefly and let it be swept away, more as an explanation and apology to the two posters of that previous diary.
The whole goal of my previous diary is to stay on target. I set the title as "We are losing this election" in order to deliberately scare folks into considering that for a second.

Right now I am reading threads that feel dangerously cocky. Folks recommending on placing 3-1 bets that Bush won't take 250 electoral votes are great, but let's not get cocky.
That is all I intended by the other (deleted) diary entry and my sincere apologies if it was interpreted in some other way.
