There are a few articles already out in support of my general optimistic disposition about this election. Here is one indicating that Democrats (of course, unnamed) are starting to talk more publicly about what they should have done during the past few months that would have made their party seem less hollow and more principled. And here is another showing that Demo candidates in the South have a chance at victory only if they don’t seem like they’re Democrats; indeed, some of them are trying to run to the right of the GOP candidates.
