HEY - Smug Obamans - get in here!
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 11:36 AM by FLDem5
There is a chance Obama could lose in Virginia.

Remember how he had New Hampshire sewn up?

Do you live in Virginia? VOTE. CALL your friends. Did they vote? BRING THEM.

Don't live in Virginia? CALL.

Get off your asses - actually - you don't even have to get off your ass. Sit right there on your ass in front of you computer and CALL.

Check in at DU after every few calls, but, damn it - CALL.

The polls don't vote. Voters do. And large leads breed complacency.

VOTE - BRING OTHERS TO VOTE - CALL. You have a job to do for your candidate - get to work.

(I am FIRED UP! Almost at 80 calls for today already!)

2. Voted for Obama in VA this morning
And made sure my best friend did the same (she voted absentee). Nobody I work with needs to be reminded to vote, but I am hoping to be able to spend some time at the metro station handing out GOTV palm cards. I agree with you...there's a chance he could lose VA, or that it could be a lot closer than expected.

3. I live in NOVA and I just voted for OBAMA.
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 11:31 AM by stillrockin
In front of the polling place there was one sign --- OBAMA! That was it. No Hillary stuff in sight.

p.s.
Everyone I reminded to vote said, "I can not wait to vote."

5. I like your approach
I like Obama but so many of his supporters on DU are plain obnoxious. It's refreshing to see this kind of post.

6. And even if he wins, doesn't Obama's margin impact # of DELEGATES???
I don't know anyone who seriously thinks that Obama has the magic number of delegates (2025) in the bag! EVERY DELEGATE MATTERS.

8. That's a change!
For several days, the Obama smugs have been in full gloat that they would win Virginia by 20 points, as well as Maryland and DC.

Now Obama HQ is saying there's a chance he'll lose?

You're in the lead now, kids. No more poor-underdog treatment.

Remember - 20 points. (I'm sure the pundits will.)

--p!
... large leads breed complacency ...

15. no. I am just a lowly phonebanker.
but reported turnout is low in northern VA, there are storms and fires. Many who feel that he will win may not get out and vote for him.

My sister and her husband live in suburban Richmond, and my wife has family in Baltimore. We've been bugging them to get out and do the right thing!
