There is a lot of panicking

[gabeana]

over the gallup, calm down--this is a surprise?, they just had their convention, just recently Obama was up 8 now its gone. These polls flucuate

from what I've heard on DU the Dems were on fire on the talk shows today. This has just began, relax

[Nitrogenica]

1. I absolutely agree. It has only just begun.

21. OMG that picture! Touche!

[Egnever]

25. Nice

2. Who is panicking?

I was expecting this. And FINALLY Obama has his people hitting on all cylinders. I don't understand why he hasn't organized this blast all the way through the election cycle. If there is one problem I have with Obama, its that he reacts with force to movement against him. But he seems to do this late.

And when I posted my recognition of the downward trend to come, I just got blasted and called a chicken little and was told my analysis was flawed.

3. lots of political life between now and november

The wind is going to change many times over that course. The fundamentals for us look good and we have a better than even chance of winning this election. A good course of action is to send a few more bucks to Obama..

4. I am panicking.

I am also thoroughly appalled and disgusted by how many Americans are bowing at Palin's feet when they know almost nothing about this woman.

I don't think it's possible to underestimate the intelligence of the American people. Bush '04 proved that. And I'm afraid that they're about to prove it again.

6. then you are doing exactly what McCain wants. I'm sure he appreciates it.

[mainer]

7. I can't help my emotions. I'm worried.

We all should be. And it's not McCain that's doing this to me. It's the pro-Palin conversations I'm listening in to at the local hardware store.

11. You can modify your emotions.

It is extremely easy to transform fear into rage.

And they have entirely different motivational effects.

Try it. It feels good to be mad.

[the Sundance Kid]

14. please don't succumb to mob mentality and unnecessary frenzy

we're not a flock of quail here, are we?

[i-grok]

16. I wasn't all that worried in 2000 and 2004....and look what we ended up with!

Perhaps right now is a damn GOOD time to be worried! It beats the shit out of complacency...for results. :shrug:

[i-grok]

15. Why would McCain want us to be panicked by Palin? That would produce the opposite result

that his party wants. Or are you suggesting that panic is tantamount to surrender??
:wtf:

[Teaser]

18. panic leads to poor judgement

get mad instead.

[i-grok]

19. Well, in this particular case, they accomplish the same thing.

...

[Teaser]

24. nah, anger is focusing if you use it right

panic just makes for weakness.

[Alhena]

9. The bounce is more after McCain's speech it appears

[the Sundance Kid]

22. actually, it's not. Gallup is a 3-day poll

Obama had a good day Wednesday and that just dropped off.

There have been 3 days with McCain holding a 3-4 point lead and that is all this is.

[Whisp]

10. it's the extremists that are bowing at her feet, she's just reawakened the zombie nation

and there isn't enough of them to make that much of a difference in contrast of how many new voters are interested this round.

there is no way she will get many, if any, votes from indies or dems. that's just crazy talk.

[whybaltimore]

8. Gallup experiences wild changes day after day

This should be nothing to worry about.

[tpi10d]

12. you'll hear pro palin conversatons because

40% of the country are wingnuts..

The Palin pick was a hail mary and caught everyone by surprise. McCain shoots from the hip, Obama doesn't. It will take a week or two of polling, research, etc. for our campaign to figure out an effective strategy. We have the time.

The dust is still flying, lets let it settle down, reset the course if necessary and get down to business..

[Imagevision]

13. We can only wait for Biden to do a number on Palen-baby!

[seabeyond]

17. enough with the damn panicking, crying, whining, stop it threads...... there is NOT a lot panicking

that is bullshit

[gabeana]

23. where the hell you been on this board

it happens every time a poll that shows McCain up, this place goes crazy with defeatist emotion

read the post on this link and tell me if there is not panicking going on here

27. i dont go into the poll threads, lol wink. they are meaningless. we have a long way to go

totally irrelevent and a waste of time

oh oh oh and on edit: there are a bunch of whining crying panicking babies, lol lol that give me the shivers like fingernails on a chalk board.

[gabeana]

29. I agree with you n/t

[krabigirl]

28. Not worried about it. Two months until the election. People have short memories.
