Having spent the weekend trying to lift my spirits (no assist from the Georgia Bulldogs or Atlanta Falcons, I should add ...) netted mixed results, and I'm unable to shake social media just yet. Because of that, I noticed a few trends from likeminded folks that bother me a bit, so I answer to four reactions I'm seeing in hopes of pulling players back into the huddle, so to speak, so we can get back in the game and start moving the ball again. I do love a good sports analogy.

Also, who'll lead us out of this? I make the case (and I'm just getting started) for Pete. While not among the highest rated Democrats in popularity, you'll hear why I think he's the messenger for the movement.
