** DEMS: IT'S A PLOY - DON'T BUY INTO IT!! **
My fellow DU'ers .... What you're now hearing from many media outlets is that the Repubs are all but calling this an Obama victory and that it doesn't appear the GOP has a chance.

Don't buy into this gobbly gook for 1 minute!"



Listen to me: This is 100% USDA pure horseshit. This is a tactic of thiers; allbeit a shrewed one (but hey, this is the GOP we're talking about here and that's what they're good at!)

The bottom line is that they want the Dems to hear this and get cocky and lathargic in the last few days of this election. They want us to feel totally comfortable with our current lead and NOT show up at the polls!

Remind EVERYONE of this that you can!

These are old Rovian tactics that will no longer work.

2. Anything less than an absolute landslide, and their poll and ballot
tricks will steal another election. The only assurance is a massive turnout to counteract the stuff they already have in the works.

23. THIS. FREAKIN' THIS.
No one here is going to stay home on voting day. I wish people around here didn't think they were dealing with children all the time.

WE KNOW what we have to do.

22. Lately I can't stop thinking of what Obama recently said about this.
He reminded us of New Hampshire's primary where the night before he was up 10% and still lost.

So it seems to me, he wants to see the polls over 10%, or why would he even say this? I think we should listen to this comment, and give Obama what he wants... he's been doing a spectacular job, and his part in all this by far, no doubt. Let's do it people! Yes We can!

25. Why settle for a victory when we can have a landslide?
But you're totally preaching to the choir here. DUers are among the likeliest of voters.
