I am as guilty as many of you and need to stop being so addicted. I am losing sleep over all this election coverage and my wife complains about being an election widow. I keep staring at the numbers and graphs and charts and diaries and other myriad of things. Suddenly last night, something hit me....hit me hard....which made me realize that I need to stop doing this. What hit me hard was a tennis ball thrown at me. So here is my sane advice and it is coming from my lumpy head.
Stop obsessing over the polls. The only thing that matters is people casting their ballot and the only numbers that matter are the results announced AFTER the elections! That is it! Watching the polls numbers and not doing anything will be like watching a radar screen and being fascinated at the incoming missile and not doing anything about it...or better yet...being like a bug and being attracted to the beautiful purple light of a bug zapper and not doing anything about it (thanks to Bugs Life for this analogy)
So let us stop with the poll watching and get on with electing Obama and the numerous Democrats to office and then watch the righties combust spontaneously and drive Rush Limbaugh back into the arms of Oxycontin.
I donated more money to the Obama Express last night......
We have only a few more days to go...let's rock it!
