Dems, don't jinx the race

How many articles have I read opining that the Dems are in trouble in the mid-terms? Most say this is because people are disillusioned with Obama. He's too tough, not tough enough, too warlike, too peacelike, too confused.

All that may be true. But hey Dems, shut up and vote, I say. Stop the gloom and doom and scare tactics that just might backfire and keep people at home on Election Day, coming sooner than you think.

Ramp up the positives. The good you have done and will do for the American people, the State, the County, the Town. Trash the Reps, don't trash your own chances.

Or am I being overly pessimistic myself?
