To the doom prognosticators:

If your motivation for writing that the Democrats might, despite everything, lose is a reasoned and reasonable fear that they could in fact blow it, then you have every right to do so. Free speech and all.

But please do me a favor. If you're writing that the Democrats might lose just to be a contrarian, or so that if something does go wrong you'll look like the only smart one, I'd really sort of prefer it if you'd shut up until after the election.

Thank you.
