In this respect, partisan hack Matt Drudge is doing us a big favor by posting bogus polls that show tight race. Keep up the good work, Matt.

On Private Calls, Top Obama Advisers Expressing Real Worry That Complacency Will Damage Fundraising, Turnout
By Greg Sargent - October 17, 2008, 4:13PM

In two private conference calls this week with leading fundraisers, surrogates, and prominent supporters, senior Obama advisers expressed genuine worry that his lead in the polls is creating a complacency among supporters that the advisers are afraid will create a serious drag on fundraising and turnout, a person who was on both calls says.

Obama and his aides have publicly warned against complacency, but in general terms, and such gestures have been widely viewed as pep-talks. These private discussions, though, suggest that the worry is genuine, and that it has taken the specific form of worry about money and get-out-the-vote efforts.

2. Obama should stop responding to the smears.

We need the polls to have Obama just slight ahead.

3. Ain't no complacency in MY neck of the woods. I was just at Obama field headquarters

in my town, and the posters in the office for people to sign up and volunteer have migrated to cover almost all of the four walls of a VERY large space; there are people stopping in CONSTANTLY to help with EVERYTHING. We are working up until every last vote is counted, and counted ACCURATELY.
No complacency allowed!
