US - Democrats are upbeat

That's according to Michael Tomasky writing in the American Prospect.

But that's not what grass roots Democrats are saying.

Kos: "My sense of pessimism for November's elections only gets deeper the more elections show lower and lower turnout. Our supporters have stopped giving a shit. They were burned three elections in a row, and seeing nothing different come from the leadership, it has become easier for them to tune out."
