This is why President Obama will win this election.Last edited Mon Apr 23, 2012, 10:40 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2) In 2008, about a fourth of all voters were contacted in some way by the Obama campaign. Mr. McCain’s campaign contacted 18 percent of general-election voters. A FiveThirtyEight study from just after the 2008 election found that “each marginal 10-point advantage in contact rate translated into a marginal 3-point gain in the popular vote in that state.”
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/17/the-general-election-ground-game-a-first-look/#more-30291 So guys: If you care about winning this election and want to make sure the President we elected stays in office: you know what to do. Knocking on doors, making phone calls and registering voters TRANSLATES DIRECTLY INTO ELECTORAL MARGINS OF VICTORY. https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/become-a-volunteer

1. This is the winning attitude that I respect.

Not just a smug "He's going to trounce Romney," but a reminder that he has a better ground organization because his supporters make it so, with a call to get together and make that happen. A call to arms.

Say it loud, I’m a Democrat and I’m Proud
Democratic Party Rally Song Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Some people say I’m a liberal because I look ahead and not behind Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind Some criticize me because I have different ideology But I’m also a loyal American, for that I make no apology We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice It is my belief that every woman should have a voice Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! One more time! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Don’t say that I’m not a Christian because I don’t do as you do Don’t decide what is good for me and I won’t decide what is good for you Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands It is not your position to decide where we stand I’m someone who believes we can work through the stalemate I believe in compromise and I’m not driven by hate Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud! Of course, I would prefer a democrat as our president But, no matter which political party, I pray that he be heaven sent I’m a proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a fact Say it loud: I’m a democrat and I’m proud!

3. While I Agree With The Intent of Your Post, 2008 and 2012 Are Not Exactly The Same

In 2008, Obama was a challenger. In 2012, he's the incumbent. Everyone in America knows that he's running, and he reaches people on a daily basis.
Even with that said, we should continue to knock on doors. |

4. Absolutely! I am proud and very lucky to live in the very BLUE state of Maryland.

However, nothing changes. We worked our asses off in Virginia and Pennsylvania and plan to do the same this time around.
Working the ground really does matter so let's not take anything for granted and let's get to work! |
