May I recommend the following strategies for getting over the latest fever swamp of doomsterism:
1. Realize that when your opponent can only respond with lies, lies that can be countered with video of the opponents own words in an easily crafted ad in a swing state, then you have won the debate on topics.
2. When your opponent looks like they are wincing in pain and flailing with their hands while relentlessly lying, then you have won on "optics."
3. When you allow your opinion to be shaped for whatever reason counter to your own eyes and ears by talking heads that are ostensibly on your "side," then you forget that cable news journalism is a for-profit affair.
This will probably be a hit and run diary, since I am inclined to take my own advice. Everybody calm down, go to bed, and remember that people are still sleeping at the polls demanding that their vote for Obama be counted.
