"Good lord, what a bunch of hand-wringers. It&amp;#39;s amazing to me&amp;#8212;after watching the amazing show of hope and optimism that radiated out of the Democratic convention&amp;#8212;that a lot of  Democrats are still whining about how Obama is going to lose.\nHave you heard the drivel? There wasn&amp;#39;t enough Republican-bashing during the convention. Hillary Clinton is still secretly pouting. Barack Obama is  too popular.  Barack Obama is just sitting back while John McCain runs roughshod over him.\nMan up! The convention was not a lost opportunity, and this will not be a repeat of 2000 or 2004. The only way the Democrats will lose this race is if they  psyche themselves out of it.\nIf you watched any of the great speeches at the convention&amp;#8212;Hillary Clinton&amp;#39;s or  John Kerry&amp;#39;s,  for instance&amp;#8212;you&amp;#39;d notice that a lot of Democrats seem to get more fired up after they&amp;#39;ve lost. While it&amp;#39;s fine to have so many great losers in the party, it doesn&amp;#39;t mean that Obama&amp;#39;s going to join those ranks.\nLet&amp;#39;s all take a deep breath and focus on what&amp;#39;s really going on: This was never going to be an easy race. Yes, the polls are tight right now, but the Obama team has a plan,   and it&amp;#39;s executing it. The Clintons, who everyone thought would hold the convention hostage, have faced the music and gotten it together. Hey, even the  Weekly World News alien is voting Obama!\nWe all want to win this one so badly that it&amp;#39;s easy to fall into doom and gloom. But as they open their own convention, we can&amp;#39;t afford to forget how much trouble the  Republicans are in right now and how badly  fractured that party is. This next week&amp;#39;s going to be tough, Democrats: Don&amp;#39;t let them psyche you out!\n&amp;#8212;Caille"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
