Even though Obama is ahead in the polls - VOTE.
I listened to Bill Press show yesterday and one caller after the other
called in to express their fear that since Obama was ahead in the polls,
some people would not bother to go vote. I share that sentiment.

Please don't let any friends or family stay home because they feel Obama
has it in the bag. If we learned anything from 2000, it is that every vote
counts.

Lets keep campaigning as if we were the underdog. Lets go be part of the
biggest landslide in history.

3. Yes, everyone needs to get out and vote.
By voting, and building such a huge number for Obama, that will overcome any GOP shenanigans in trying to "steal votes" and the election.

7. Right.

My hope is that so many millions of new voters will turn out that their numbers will
overwhelm the numbers of votes stolen by the republicans.

4. Even if you're 100% sure he's going to win....
Why settle for a victory when you could have a landslide? Turn red states blue. Send him to the white house with a clear mandate. Crush the republicans. Get 60+ in the senate. Many many reasons to not rest yet.

5. I really believe
that there will be a huge turnout. This is a historical election and people will want to say they voted in this election. Also, Obama supporters want his win to be a landslide to show the repubs exactly what the majority of this country thinks of them. Plus, voters want to vote out as many repubs as possible.

12. Every Democratic
vote is like a :kick: in the arse of the repubs. Who could resist doing that after what they have put us through and done to our country?

13. Nah, why bother
:rofl:

I'll be at the polls from 7am through whenever the last voter leaves and we can finish verifying the machine count and hand-counting the absentee ballots.

Nothing brings home the feeling of democracy like sitting around a fire hall with the Republican Committeman and the old ladies who work the elections doing the counts

And knowing that in thousands of church basements, fire halls, and elementary schools all over America, thousands of other Americans are doing exactly the same thing.

14. Have you heard of anybody saying they're not voting?
We're all voting like we think they might try to steal the election, because frankly, that's exactly what we think.

15. Every drop of rain counts in a DELUGE. Every grain of sand counts in the Sahara.
A landslide IS NOT ENOUGH! It must be a CRUSHING defeat!
