I get that there are those who want to believe that this is the darkness before the dawn, that we’re on the precipice of a rise back to glory and the opportunity to start turning back Cheetio Benito’s worst impulses.

But I worry that some are setting themselves up for another disappointment, assuming that the current momentum is unstoppable and the “blue wave” will lead to a mandate that the DNC can trade upon going forward. As if Tuesday is Election Day, when in reality we’re 3 weeks away in which virtually anything could happen.

We should always be playing like we’re behind and the clock is ticking, rather than talking about what we plan to do after the game as though we can’t lose. And yes, that means talking about the worst possible scenario and planning for it now, rather than dealing with it as it’s happening.
