ABC says this morning that there is still an "enthusiasm gap" and that GOP

[old mark]

voters WILL turn out in greater numbers than Democrats because republicans consider this election is more important than any other mid term election in their lives, while Democrats are still "frustrated" with government, and thus won't vote.

I think the MSM/GOPers are very scared they are losing what ever advantage they may have had, and they are using everything they can to discourage Democrats from voting.

1. to a certain extent i belive this is an attempt to create the reality.

if they say it enough then we will just not bother going to the polls. well, they say the republicans are going to win so why should i even bother. well i know that I am going to vote. that paladino is a nutjob. i'll be damned if i will let that jerk get in any position to have any control over my life.

2. I hope they all wake up with egg on their collective faces after

the election. They're using the tried and true rethug tactic; repeat something often enough whether it's true or not, it happens. But I pray Americans might be smarter than that this time around.

3. Yeah, there's an enthusiasm gap....

...the Republicans have a tiny group of their base who are enthusiastic to the point of zealotry (and perhaps because of zealotry).

While the left has some who are disappointment in the progress their representatives have been able to accomplish, the left also has zillions who are frightened of what the right has become.

4. The media know its livelihood depends

on Republicans. They are as greedy as the Republican congresspeople. They have sold out to the Republican party.

5. "crazed enthusiasm" is what I think they call it. n/t

7. ABC now says the "GAP" closed by around 4 points last week - I guess since the rally...

I don't know whose numbers they used or who figured this all out, but it's sounds like nonsense to me, and I believe we will win.
I think the MSM networks are starting to provide themselves with an exit to save face in case their beloved republicans lose big.

10. Bingo.... So it's especially important...

...that we get progressive voters to the polls on November 2nd.

You can help do that.

Volunteer down at Democratic HQ. They need people to make phone calls, knock on doors, compile lists of local events, do data entry, etc.

Help others get their early ballots in case they can't get out on election day.

Get a yard sign.

Talk to your cousin/nephew/aunt etc.

We need to focus on this or the next two years of DU will be not about how to improve the country, but about limiting damage.

thanks,
