Can you imagine what repugs would be saying about us if an Obama volunteer had pulled a stunt like that?

1. I will gloat when we win on Nov 4 - perhaps for the day. Then there is so much work to be done.

2. I've blocked out the entire period between Nov. 5 and Jan 21st for gloating purposes
I'm gonna stock up on caffeine tablets so I can make the most of it :)

3. Fine. I agree.
But unless we have more of a competitive instinct, we will not be able to affect real change. Winning is just the beginning.

6. we're too damned sensitive and forgiving

11. LOL
It is fun to imagaine what they would be doing to us if our roles were reversed, though. Well, maybe fun isn't the word. More like creepy and vomit inducing.

7. Nov 5th and I might look back and enjoy some of the stuff I ignored
I'm just to anxious to gloat before then.

12. we don't have time to gloat
we have real issues to share with the country before election day -- unlike the Pukes, who have nothing but low level tactics to distract from the fact that they are running a campaign to take America back to the days before we became a democracy. tax the poor, but they have no representation, etc.

After nov 4, gloating and a few well landed verbal gotchas are called for.
