I can see a lot of Dems who live in the Solid Blue (or even Solid Red) states realizing that their vote might not make a difference and not making an effort to vote - this could explain why Obama is doing fine in the electoral college estimates but only barely beating Romney in the national polls. So if you live in one of the big blue states - especially you in New York and California, get out there and vote and run up Obama's total - make sure that we get the 53% we got last time - at least!

Still, I agree, get every voter out there...

the Green Party candidate and manages to trash O with the enthusiasm for this nobody candidate.
I tell myself: do not engage, do not engage

"Can It All Be a Coincidence?" a book by Don Fredrick.
He got his book out about The Obama Timeline just in time
for the important elections. Reps are so happy about the book!!!
What do you think??
