1. WE NEED TO WIN

We need to win every state not just swing states. We need to send a message that MILLONARIE's can't buy elections. Think of the look on Sheldon, Rove's and Koch Bros faces when they see that their boy loses on Nov 6!! Millions of dollars for nothing! That is what should motivate you to put up yard signs, make calls, go door to door or just give a couple of bucks to a democrat

2. Media continuing to use their LV models to make the race closer

I find it very hard to believe voters can have such a low opinion of Mittens yet he be running so close. Doesn't add up to me.

4. Mittens HAS to win NC, NV, NH and FL to get to 270.

Because he is going to lose Ohio. And right now Obama leads in all of those states.
