"Don't get cocky kid.."
You're see the nasty the both of them are capable of spewing at each other.
Now consider when the target is Obama.
There is no 'safe' state, there is no 'safe' bet. It's gonna take every single one of us, no matter WHERE you are to make sure Obama's margin is above contesting, above recounting, ABOVE VOTER SUPPRESSION.
Don't get cocky kids, the war is just getting started.

There is no safe, not from nastiness, not from lies, not from voter suppression.
There.

Obama takes nothing for granted. Being black in America, he's learned to never, ever take anything for granted.
