Obama is ahead is many important swing states. NOW we can get scared.

It just looks too good to me. I know how much much money Adelson, Rove and the Kochs have budgeted (or maybe I only know the half of it), and I also know of all the voter disenfranchisement efforts and the programmable vote-counting machines, all made by Republicans.

We SHOULD be able to overcome all this. All indications I trust say we are in good shape. But if I see those indications, so do Karl Rove and his pals. And THAT is what worries me. Rove doesn't roll over and play dead, and even for guys like Adelson and the Kochs, $100 million is not pocket change.

1. Now we GOTV. Now we pay attention and report any incidences of intimidation, etc.

Now we fight the good fight and have courage (thank you to Alan Grayson for that phrase.)

2. Next 10 Days Or So

Are going to get really ugly. I promise you. We need to stay on it.

3. I don't see it that way.

If polls start showing Obama leading in all these states instead of tied it will make it harder for the right to try to steal the election with their ridged electronic voting machines. They would have stolen it in 08' but the Pres. won so overwhelmingly they couldn't get away with.

4. Obama has the ground game

In swing states he has something like 3 the number of office with significant leads in registering voters.

Now is the time to focus on GOTV and monitoring, documenting and reporting any attempts to suppress votes, throw away registration forms, throw away ballots or vote-flipping.

6. I agree.

People tend to underestimate the strength and organization of the President's ground game.

It won it in 2008, and will again this time.

5. As Senator Al Franken stated...IGNORE your family and your job

your little kids can cook for themselves, GOTV is more important for the next 11 days.

7. Every early vote is a vothe they cannot have.

SO help GOTV if you can.

I'm thinking of signing up to be a poll watcher....

8. we also have to avoid complacency;

but, agree: Rove will fight to the end and use any tactic, no matter how dastardly, all backed up with huge sums of money.

10. The voter suppression has already begun.

According to www.electoral-vote.com, some people are getting calls saying that they can vote by phone, and some people are being told that the election date is Thursday, November 8th.

The big job is still ahead of us. When we talk to Obama supporters, we need to make sure that they know the date and can find their polling place.

11. This is funny...

2 weeks ago: "Obama is behind..I AM FREAKING OUT!!!"

Today: "Obama is ahead..I AM FREAKING OUT!!"

I don't begrudge your post though...I say "Keep calm and carry on"

[DFW]

12. Obama's top inside pollster told me back in July

"I'll be freaking out toward the end of October so that you don't have to."

14. WTF are babbling about?

This is a joke, right?

Otherwise this IS the dumbest f*cking thing I have read since I joined.
