Yeah, what the hell? Apparently we're in opposite land now.
...adding, the notion that "old timers" appear to be more optimistic than "net rooters" has some empirical support, but as for strategery it's completely wrong.

Most of us have always pushed the "support every candidate possible" and continue to do so.
