How can I be sure that I'm panicking enough?

How can I be sure that I'm panicking enough?


I read half a dozen polls, and it doesn't seem like I should panic at all. Then I read a half dozen others, and I realize that I should definitely be panicking.

And then I check in on DU, and a slight majority tells me that no matter how much I'm panicking, I should be panicking more.

I don't want to panic more than is absolutely necessary, because that would simply be wasted effort. But if I panic too little, then don't I risk single-handedly tanking Clinton's chances?


What's a little ol' Liberal supposed to do?

Why is it I see no one on the right panicking at all,just resigned given the choices and hopeful for the best outcome of Shllary losing?

 I read one person last night at the DUmp saying they checked 538s odds every 10 minutes.  :mental:

I look at 538 about once a day, when I peruse ESPN (it is affiliated with them).

While I'm not Coach, familiar with the DUmmy screen name.  Nothing terribly notable though.

You will know you have panicked enough if, on 11/9/2016, you feel relieved that the election is over, regardless who won, and prepare to go about your normal life.

Ditto; the primitive's been around a while, but hasn't done anything especially stupid or outrageous that was caught by any eyes here.

I was led to believe that more e-mails from Assange were to be released before the first debate.  That would certainly up the panic on the left.

That's a solution but I was thinking along the lines of stocking up on mind meds for a smoother transition.

I'm all for speed of "transition."  As in, a lead semi-wadcutter hollow point at 700 fps or so.

5. Don't panic, send in a few bucks to get more ads on the air.

Hillary is winning the commercial war.

If you are still panicking, go check out 538. Nate Silver's site will keep you positive. You better hurry however, this is as close as it will be. After the debate, I predict 70-30 splits in favor of Hillary.

Good idea for all the primitives to send what little money they have to Cankles so that she can piss it away on ads that aren't going to do a damn bit of good.

Fail: Hillary Spent $33 Million on Ads in August, As Her Lead Collapsed

Good thing she raised a ridiculous amount of money last month, with which she can spend even more money on commercials.  Because, as you can see, shelling out piles of cash to build a dominant on-air advertising advantage has really worked like a charm for her thus far.

I hope he releases them today or Sunday, so Trump can use anything good.
