Romney doesn't have to scare us -- it's just a matter of getting out the vote

I never worried about not being able to beat McCain, because doing so was as simple as running these pics:



and getting out the vote.

Now, thanks to Romney's "victory" in the Florida debate, I no longer fear not being able to beat him because that's as easy as portraying him as the ultimate one-percenter -- and thanks to Occupy/99% and the CREDO Super Pac, we've already laid down the foundation. But we've still got to get out the vote.

We did well in '06 and '08 because we got out the vote; we didn't do well in '10 because our hearts weren't into getting out the vote. Obama is already six points ahead of Romney nationally: just one point less than the margin by which he -- I mean, WE -- beat McCain. Throw in some scary stories about the possible return of the Bush years, and I don't see why we can't double that margin!
