Serious question -- was that just Texas or regional wishful thinking? Or is the nature of your work such that you are seeing this more nationally?
The Atlantic article that someone posted (here or on Facebook -- I get confused) really nailed it. The Rs have built up such a bubble (which stared with Rush, Rove, and W) that they no longer see reality.
(Note to Sebby, who may point out that I said yesterday that I wasn't certain of the outcome, was nervous, etc. That's true. But if I had been cheering for Mitt I would have been a lot more than nervous. There were days when I went from anxious to cautiously optimistic as an Obama supporter. As a Romney supporter, I'd have hovered between depressed, seeing the faintest glimmer of hope, and the occasional bout of "well, it COULD happen")
