This election is NOT over!

Tonight was a great night. McCain was clearly the loser.

However, NEVER, EVER underestimate the ability of the Republicans to wallow in the mud or to steal an election. We must continue to work, to work even harder, to ensure victory in November.

1. Agree 100%! These people take their
lessons from Rove, the dirtiest scum to ever darken the door of American politics.

2. Get Out The Vote!
Volunteer to drive voters to the polls...take extra shirts/ponchos so if they're wearing campaign shirts they can be covered up (if your state has laws about "passive campaigning"). WE'RE GOING TO WIN!

7. That's right!! Don't let anybody celebrate!! Because we are so stupid, we might just decide to STAY
home on November 4th if we are happy for five goddam minutes.

11. Be of good cheer and work like we're ten points down!
Stay committed to doing the daily footwork needed to put our candidates over the top. There will be plenty of time to celebrate after November 5th!

12. For GOD's sake DO NOT get complacent and keep ya eyes peeled. The Repugs will be trying
every smear, swiftboating, fearmongering, voter intimidation, voter purge, voter challenge, hacked/pre-programmed (negative votes for Dem) trick in the book and then some. The usual broken-down machines in largely minority and Dem precincts, deliberately giving voters incorrect info, etc. etc. They're going to try it ALL.

There is NO TELLING what they'll pull - esp the BFEE - to either keep Obama from rightfully and fairly winning, or to have the election cancelled or delayed.

I would put NOTHING past the GOP/BFEE. And I mean NO THING.

Keep working, folks, and keep those eyes wide open.

13. Agree 100%!
It's WAY to early to get complacent.

After Mccain's dismal performance in this debate, expect them to crank up the slime machine another notch or two.

14. DO NOT GET COMPLACENT. That is the one way we can lose. It has to be a...
...landslide because if close it can be stolen.

15. Campaign like the Big "O" is down 20
points. We CAN NOT get complacent and take it for granted. We are the underdogs and we need to keep telling ourselves that even when we are kicking butt!

19. I don't think anyone is this room is going to get complacent. lol
But do I think that Obama has this thing in the bag? Sure. And I'll eat my words later if I have to. But I'm feeling VERY confident right now. No reason not to.

21. Enjoy the moment - work twice as hard tomorrow.

The Republican manure spreader is being refueled as we speak. You can be certain they are doubling up on their plans to suppress the vote and mess with the voting machines.

Optimism doesn't lose elections -- pessimism does.

We want to not just win, but crush these people! Make them howl! Make them scared to rear their ugly heads!

Need to go to bed now.

24. Absolutely!

When they get desperate, the Repugs
get mean, vile, dirty and will stop at nothing
to get their way.

Endangering Obama's life with BS comments
on his "associations" is not beneath them-
NOTHING IS!

Don't let up the guard!

That's what they're waiting for.

29. No, the ones smoking dope are the paranoids who are "AMEN!"ing this thread.
Can't you recognize when someone is the clear victor? Obama nailed the election tonight. McCain exposed himself as the sad, angry, and frail old man he is.

You guys obviously haven't lived enough to see this.

28. Welcome to the obligatory DU downer post.
Live in the moment, you idiot, and live for the future. Obama has this in the bag. Nothing the GOP can do will change that.

32. You're right, I'm an just an old idiot . . .

an idiot that has seen Republicans steal too many elections and an idiot that has witnessed the big smear work too many times. This idiot will do everything he can to get the vote out and get a few more $$ to the Obama campaign. It's all this old idiot can do.

This isn't a fucking submarine where we have to man the battlestations immediately.
