Voice of Pessimism
Not at all. If I expect too much I'm usually disappointed. If I temper my enthusiasm I'm often pleasantly surprised. I sat on FR during the elections of 96 and 08 and watched fellow FReepers crow about how the momentum favored the GOP in the general election and how we were going to win. This of course did not come to pass. In other words I've been accused of being the voice of pessimism before.
On top of that I'm not sure how my belief that we will make major gains in the House is pessimistic.
