What we cannot change
Submitted August 20, 2008 - 3:55 pm by Kat (not verified)Nekola @ 3:13 pm -
One of the biggest reasons that poll hand wringing and armchairmen annoy me so much is that its stuff, as you mentioned, that we have no control over.
I'd be very surprised if Obama does not pivot off the convention with a more visible surrogate presence, once he is the nominee and the Dems are officially "united". But even if he doesn't, I have NO CONTROL over what strategy he chooses to deploy. I can only control my volunteer actions. So I don't understand why I would choose to psych myself out and drag down every one around me with needless weeping and gnashing of teeth.
