It is moments like the one upon us this weekend when I realize that deep down inside, I can still find that little dummy inside me. The Suzy Sunshine Optimist that's just waiting for big bad slick operators to rip him off and empty that wallet. It's really bizarre. But I am somehow feeling that some kind of sanity is on the cusp of breaking out. It cannot rain forever right? It is of course, the height of folly to think "your guy" or anyone's "guy" getting elected is going to matter, when so much of what is happening in a time of transition like we appear to be in, is the result of tremendous market and historical forces. But even so, that inner optimist is always in there, right next to the inner nihilist, and sometimes he's the one creeping out from under the bucket instead of the other.
Good article and information. I don't see anything good happening after Tuesday.

Edited to replace "your" with "you're." Ja, ich bin grammar nazi.
