6. That shit only works with people who are already planning on voting for McCain.
Your trying to rally people here is very commendable and all, but I heard all the positive affirmations in 2004, and they really didn't work. It's our strategy that sucks, not our lack of a spine, or lack of positive thinking. I'm sorry, too much is at stake here for me to simply say, "Obama will be our next President" and think that positive affirmation is going to amount to a hill of beans. Reality is showing us that Obama does not have this in the bag, and goddamnit he should. Why? What is going on here, and what the fuck do we do about it?

Only cheerleading please! :P

Just so there is no doubt, I think that Senator Obama can still easily win AS LONG AS he changes his campaign's tone DRASTICALLY after the convention.

Time to spill blood (figuratively of course). Time to go negative nonstop.

11. And why should he, liberalmuse?????
Let's see now. 47% republican, 47% Democrat. I fucking guess the independants haven't made their decision, yet. They will.

39. We Had a Big Advantage in Party Registration Last Month, Did We Lose All That Already?
If party registration is really 47/47 now, that is VERY bad news :hurts:

Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 09:13 PM by tazkcmo
Voting machines, purging of voter lists, challenges at the polling place by Rethug lawyers etc etc etc. I always hated pep rally's. I always climbed a tree and burned a doobie during those.

I'll be positive when he get's sworn in. Until then I'll be the same cynical bastard I've been for the last 20 years.

Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 10:37 PM by AndyTiedye
I got caught up in the euphoria last time, thought we had won — until the numbers all started changing, and it was clear they had done it to us AGAIN :cry:

And they keep telling us this time will be different.


I think I'll stick with cynicism for this election cycle as well. Cynicism tinged with despair, after seeing the latest polls. :(

Joe Namath guaranteed a victory in Super Bowl III for the NY Jets of the fledgling AFL. And, backed it up. A huge thing, back in the day. Now, it's Obama's turn!!!

22. There is a hell of a lot of time until November.
Things can turn on a dime--expect the unexpected ALL THE TIME. I knew we were in for a roller coaster ride, so I am trying to do as Barack does by not getting too high when he is up, and not too low when he is down.

I truly believe there are ulterior motives at work right now, because when I have been out canvassing here is ultra conservative SW MO, I have been pleasantly surprised at most of the responses. Let it play out a bit---there is time.

As has been said by so many others here-- if you are so upset, get out and get to work by canvassing, registering voters, phone banking, etc. Barack has said from the beginning he can't do it alone.

I have a great deal of trust in my future President Obama.

Armchair quarterbacks---not so much.

40. Don't count on that.
The MSM will try to spin McCain as the debate winner even if he's drooling on his shirt collar.

32. I agree -- don't get so freaked out when people are angry, unhappy,
worried, or want to discuss something "negative." It won't make everything fall apart to deal with reality.

i don't think there's really anything to get concerned about yet. i sense underlying fear about the puma thing that has maybe been brought to the surface by the news at the link i posted maybe combined with some concern trolling.
