NOW can we be a little cocky??

[renie408]

After Obama's donation numbers from September and the Powell endorsement, can we take a minute to cheer? Not stay home November 4...not go on a two week bender and miss the election...not stop calling...but just


CELEBRATE!!!!!

[HughMoran]

1. Not until Nov. 5th

Don't underestimate the vileness of the Republican hate machine.

[No Elephants]

2. Okay, but only for a minute. Then focus, donate, volunteer, vote.

[Essene]

3. no, put on your helmet and be CONCERNED

seriously.

it's not over yet :D

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. NO!

[Uben]

5. No, still waiting for Cheney endorsement!

Wouldn't that be the shitz?

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. Repubs are gonna throw EVERYTHING at Obama.

[democracy1st]

7. hell no!!!...celebrate what we haven't won yet!!!

[flpoljunkie]

8. You know Obama would say an emphatic NO!

[HereSince1628]

We can be cocky _after_ a record turn-out of 1st-time voters.

Until then, remember to take a couple friends to the poll on Nov 4.

[burythehatchet]

9. No.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. I allowed myself the luxury of a happy dance this morning

when Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for President, but I'm still going out today to shore up support in the community. Who says the two are mutually exclusive? Why can't I celebrate a victory while still doing everything I can for our candidate?

[Newrulz2008]

11. No, Wait...Let's get it first

There's nothing to be cocky about yet... we cannot let ourselves get excited... NOT YET. Keep fighting, keep pushing... the rescumlicans are scheming and looking for ways to steal this election... we MUST fight harder today than ever, this election is far to important!

GOBAMA!!!!

[democrattotheend]

12. NO NO NO

Not until the election is called...remember, Obama looked unstoppable before New Hampshire.

[Tribetime]

13. Mandate Mandate Mandate and not the 2-3% Bush kind

[bigdarryl]

14. NOT according to Zogby

[renie408]

23. Zogby being the gold standard of polling...n/t

[graywarrior]

15. Put our cockiness into gettng 5 more slackers to vote

And then we can shout with joy on Nov 5.

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. Yes we can!

Go ahead, and take a celebration break. Smell the roses, along the way.

:woohoo: :toast: :party: :bounce:


Enjoy it!!! :)

[MoJoWorkin]

17. You can yell and scream and thump your chest for a few minutes (I am doing that as I type)

----then you need to get back to work.

Until the votes are all counted, we have not WON anything.

Damn! I CAN"T WAIT until 11/05!

[terrya]

18. No. I'll keep donating when I can.

[renie408]

21. Why is a little 'woo hoo' interpreted as a call to stop donating? Especially when

I specifically said that we SHOULDN'T stop doing everything we can to get Obama elected?

[renie408]

22. dupe

[Doityourself]

19. Rein in the tiger for a couple more weeks!! Then unleash it!

[endthewar]

20. Alright, you have my permission, but make it snappy

:rofl:

[GoesTo11]

24. Don't celebrate until we're in the endzone

Lett had fumbled his chance for Super Bowl glory when he did some premature celebrating after picking up a Frank Reich fumble at the Dallas 35-yard line and rumbling toward the end zone. A 6-foot-6-inch, 287-pound tackle, Lett is certainly no speedster, but he didn't have to be. The entire right side of the field was clear for him, and he was ahead of everyone else, galomphing toward what would be his first touchdown "since I was 10 years old playing pee-wee football."

Dallas was winning handily. The game was winding down. For Lett, the temptation to showboat was too great.

He slowed a bit as he got inside the Buffalo 10, then held the football out to the side in his right hand. This provided just enough time for Don Beebe, the Bills' fleet wide receiver, to catch up to Lett and swipe at the ball, knocking it from Lett's hand at the 1-yard line. Only a Touchback

The ball rolled through the end zone for a touchback, and Buffalo took over at the 20.

No touchdown, no glory, no excuses.

25. Many don't seem to remember 2004....

There was constant talk on here about a Kerry landslide. Anyone who expressed concern was poo-poohed, or worse....

Considering the republican efforts at voter supression...combined with the voting machine issues we see every year, I can't see how anyone in here can think this will be a slam dunk. Republicans are experts at playing dirty, especially when they're backed into a corner.

I'll be holding off my celebrating until after election night.
