The stress of midterms manifested differently for everyone: lashing out at their kids, chugging coffee, and breaking windows with supersonic screams. Nothing will assuage their fears, not the polls and especially not Nancy Pelosi swaggering on Colbert. I guess we’ll be holding our breath until Thursday. I mean Tuesday.
