Jonah, step away from the Kool-Aid:

I was just playing with the RCP electoral map. . . . And I have to say, it's actually much easier to see how McCain could pull it off than I had thought.

If there is a miracle, I will be shocked and gratified. Given the overwhelming contrary evidence, however, I refuse to hope. Hope is for chumps.

(And, yes, "Hope is for chumps" would have been an excellent GOP slogan this year, but nobody ever asks me about this stuff.)

The slogan needs one revision to make it more accurate: "Hope is for (political) chumps."

For those who claim Christ, hope is essential to life in this world.

C'mon, Stacy. How did you miss the opportunity to make your slogan rhyme. No slogans get anywhere if they don't rhyme.

"Hope is for dopes."

You're welcome. I expect the check to be in the mail.
