Game over. Yankees Lose game 1. Sox win game 1.

Now I need to getting in the mood of a GOP type who just told me: “[Cheney] simply wiped the floor with Edwards. By the end of the debate Edwards didn’t even know when it was his turn to speak or even how to follow the simple rules of the question….Our troops need to feel good about themselves for a bit….We’re up in three out of every four polls and most [Republicans] are walking around like the world is ending!”

So here’s my explanation for why we’re not screaming HE WON DECISIVELY. Speaking for myself, I’m thinking big picture, and, because of last Thursday, I am nervous about Friday. And so I can’t get excited…and, frankly, I won’t until Bush has won–the election. Is that a temperment thing?
