I don't care if you are in a red state

[Aerows]

fight to turn it blue, or even just purple. It is too important this election to let people elect reds.

1. Not sure why any true American would vote for a right winger given what they stand for,

but stranger things have happened.

[cleduc]

2. As well, you don't want to give the GOP

a popular vote win when Obama wins the EV. GOP Governors could try to overturn the EV for their state if it went Obama's way. In that way, every vote everywhere counts.

Even if they didn't try to pull that EV switch, a popular vote win gives Obama a better mandate. You don't want to give ammunition to John Boehner, if they keep the house, to obstruct for another two years.

Leave nothing to chance and hammer Romney for lying to you and the GOP for obstructing jobs.

[Aerows]

20. Obama will win the popular vote

so that isn't even an issue. Please feel free to bet me on that one. I can cover a bet up to $10,000, and I'm not even kidding.

Bet me.

3. Honey... we ARE in Texas...

[Aerows]

4. I'm in Mississippi

And I will fight tooth and nail. Don't sit there and tell me "I'm in Texas".

[ProudProgressiveNow]

5. We are getting close in Arizona!

[Aerows]

7. You guys can do it

and you can do it by not giving up!

[Aerows]

8. I also think

That Arizona has a chance to swing very much and maybe be purple soon, too. It is reality, and John Birchers are very pissed off about losing such a key state.

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. +1

voted AZ-Blue last week!

[justabob]

15. we ARE fighting

Is what I believe w8liftinglady was saying. She, in particular, has been busting ass, especially regarding our senate race. Just so you know.

[Aerows]

17. I'm glad

Thanks to everyone that is busting ass. My state exhausts me, but I'm not going to give up. I love that about Texans - ya'll never give up, either.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Yes Texas might be a red state but I vote blue.

[Paladin]

25. Yeah, I'm In Texas, Alright.......

....and howabout not giving aid and comfort to all the DU Texas haters?

[Aerows]

6. I will fight tooth and nail for Obama and Democrats in my state and local elections

I don't give a shit if they are doomed to be freeze dried vegetables on the political landscape.

It's time to fight, It's time fight now, and It's time to fight hard.

[Blanks]

10. Arkansas has a democrat governor.

A good one too, quite popular. Somehow all of the other democrats are 'in name only'.

We will go red this time, but I think right after the election is a good time to start looking at replacing at least one house member (democrat opponent got a DUI he won't win this time). I'd like to see less house republicans in the mid-terms.

There isn't much presence here during this election. Not much chance of turning this bright red state at all.

[Seeking Serenity]

13. You said

I think right after the election is a good time to start looking at replacing at least one house member (democrat opponent got a DUI he won't win this time)

I agree totally. I actually didn't cast a vote in that race. Herb Rule is NOT the kind of "Democrat" we would want there. Better to let Griffin just have it for two more years and work to get an actual progressive Democrat elected in 2014.

[Aerows]

16. Nope, elect the Democrat so that they have

control of the House. Folks, we have to play football and chess this election. You win neither with having fewer pieces, even if they aren't the pieces you like.

[Blanks]

23. It's not really a question of voting for the democrat.

That's a given. I think the democrat (Herb Rule) is a good guy. He just isn't going to win this time (the DUI doesn't help). His opponent is a well-funded tea party member.

I think Obama is polling at less than 40% in Arkansas. I'm not going to let that keep me from voting, but I don't expect to overcome that at this stage in the game.

I hope that after this election more emphasis will be put on pointing out; that the 'tea party controlled house' held the economy of this country hostage in the hopes of political gain.

Throw out the ones that remain in the mid-terms. Hopefully they will lose some of them this time. Tim Griffin probably isn't going to be one of them that loses.

[Blanks]

24. Is there a problem with Herb Rule?

I just don't expect him to win. The 'Times' had a pretty good write up on him.

[Aerows]

14. I will fight to turn the South blue

regardless. I hope you will join me, because it benefits us all.

[George Katona]

11. I am in a purple state

FL and I see much more R/R lawn signs and bumper stickers. While I'm in a retirement suburb, we get out quite a bit and it is the same. Oh, and my Obama/Biden sign has been trampled a couple of times. I just keep putting it back up! And instead of just one, I have three up now.

[backwoodsbob]

18. you think we aren't?

it's easy to live on a high horse living in a blue state

[Aerows]

21. I'm on a high horse

here in MS. LOL. We all have to vote! We fail to vote, we fail to have our voices heard!

[ChazII]

19. AZ is purple. n/t

[Aerows]

22. Az is beautiful and mostly red

But you voting could turn it gloriously purple. It's Pima county vs. Maricopa that could change it.

I lived in Tuscon as a child. Most glorious place to be

[tibbir]

26. I'm working to get Texas to be at least a purple state.

We've voted for excellent people before...just got to get over all the rw redistricting.

[w8liftinglady]

27. just do like I did...nag everyone you see to GOTV
