8. keep your eye on the prize(a cliche) but the one win we(I) care about is Nov.6, 2012

Oct 2012

matters little to me any of the 4 debates, I said so in the past, I say it now and in the future, I for one wish they would do away with them.
It wastes time, when motivating the base is what is important, especially this year, where for all intents and purposes, there are no undecided voters to swing an election, no matter what the press says

and BTW-

don't forget about Gary Johnson, because 99% of his votes will come directly from Mitt
and mostly he is not included in polls or debates.
Gary is the Ralph of 2012, not that we need those votes but it might lead to some more house and senate.

And we need people to be positive for not only 2016, but we can win the house
(though some here say it is impossible), but every seat we win is one more than we had,
and it is looking like we will have 54-56 senate seats (assuming Warren wins).Something that no one thought would be the case a year ago.
