on conference call with campaign right now...

[smackd]

so far:

- this election will be as close as 2000/2004

- ignore polls in last few days - noise

- early voting leads, cites CO, FL, IA, NV as examples...6000 vote lead in Clark county just yesterday...

...

1. 1/3 voters in NC already voted, dems way ahead

[smackd]

[madaboutharry]

3. Here comes the President!

[meadowlark5]

4. Me too. But my feed keeps cutting out from them :(

I may not even get to hear the pres speak

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Just got kicked off.

[tufnel]

6. They gotta fix the feed!

Come on guys

[smackd]

7. Feed is better...president on!

He sounds tired

[MgtPA]

8. Feed died again here - is he done?

[madaboutharry]

11. Answering questions now.

[tbennett76]

9. I think even they

will be surprised how big the win is in the end. It will not be as close as 2000, and may yet resemble 2008.

10. Thanks for writing this DU post while you are on the campaign call.

[flamingdem]

12. thanks, more? n/t

[meadowlark5]

13. My feed made it to "vote early"

So let me know if anything else really cool happens. I can't get the feed back on my laptop or phone

[smackd]

14. lost feed for a while...but now question on leg. he's most proud of...

ACA, no question. "100 year effort"

[smackd]

15. "Even if you're not in a battleground...GO VOTE!"

want to send a strong message!


President is done...more campaign comments...

[smackd]

16. "They can only win if FEWER people vote"

[courseofhistory]

19. Who is "they" and

what did this statement mean exactly? If fewer repubs vote they can win?

[smackd]

20. 'One side' realizes they can only win if they discourage voting

reference to efforts by right to suppress vote

[fugop]

21. Reps can win only if Dems don't vote.

[octoberlib]

17. My feed cut out for a minute too n/t

[smackd]

18. They're trying to respond in 'real time' to last minute lies, tactics, etc...$$$

[Faith9326]

22. I don't want this election to be that close

Hell no.

[smackd]

23. done :)

nothing surprising, we're just in the dog days now, we all know that anyway

If you can afford a little bit more...please do it. They are really trying to fight the last minute lies and tactics, that's why they are basically bird-dogging romney camp around the country right now.


I can't imagine how exhausting this must be. I am so grateful.

He is going to WIN!

[Phx_Dem]

24. I couldn't join because I couldn't find my

email with the call-in info.

Thanks for the update!

[Amphigouri]

25. I was surprised by the advice to "ignore polls"

They seem to be breaking Obama's way this week. Seems like good "noise" to me.

[andrewgr]

26. Makes sense

You want the media to project an air of confidence, of being in control, of not being desperate, because it could effect undecideds.

You want your ground game to be nervous so they spend their weekend getting people to vote, rather than watching football.

Or at least, that's my interpretation.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

27. There's likely to be a spate of questionable GOP biased polling

Over the next few days

[tman]

28. So there's a high chance of Obama losing...

As close as 2000/4?


This worries me.

[OldHippieChick]

29. Chill

There is no "high chance"
