Don't allow recent good news to keep you from voting! We still need to GOTV!

The polls don't mean anything if we don't get the VOTES to back it up. Don't count on others to get Obama the win. Vote. Make phone calls. Volunteer. There is too much riding on this election to give up now!

As Biden says - THIS IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL!

Wherever you go someone will ask you, "have you voted yet?" We've had 3-hour waits on line and senior citizens requiring hospitalization, but they keep on coming! I love it.

The real reason repukes turned on Gov. Crist had nothing to do with the Obama hug and everything to do with the fact that when the early voting lines were reaching monumental proportions in 2008, with 6/7 hour waits, he extended early voting.
