In reply to the discussion: It could be a landslide for Obama and Democrats [View all]TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)68. Notice all the "buts" and negatives in this thread? Around my neighborhood we...
know all about this, and we remember how almost got beat up by the teabaggers two years ago and how we got our asses kicked in last month's local election.
Our answer to this is simply to bust our asses harder to keep what we got and get some new ones in. Redistricting is a key problem, and Republican "stop the vote" is another one, but we've got a campaign to run around here and and anyone harping on the negatives is shown the door.
Could be a landslide. Probably won't be unless the other side stays home.
But, yeah, we have to think positive and NOT give the other side hope or ideas. Isn't that the way you do things in real life?

The media does not want a landslide. Who watches the news when one candidate has a 20+ point lead?
