Obama will win Texas because his supporters care

[thevoiceofreason]

We care enough to work.

We care enough to canvass, to phone bank, to send personal postcards.

We care enough to sit down and talk with total, complete strangers who ask questions and explain his positions.

We care enough to go to multiple training sessions to be sure things are done fairly.

We are strong. We don't rest until it's over.

We are Obama.

1. "We are Obama"

Oh brother.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. Dupe

[stillrockin]

3. GOBAMA!!!

:dem:

[KLee]

4. Right On!

GO OBAMA!

[stop the bleeding]

5. that last line reminds me of a shoe commercial for some reason

I support Obama as well, but the "We are Obama" just sounds a bit too commercial or Borg.

7. You do realize how silly this is, don't you?

Nevermind. What's silly is asking if anyone in this forum sees how silly there are.

[thevoiceofreason]

11. Actually, it's not

I made 300+ phone calls today.

I spoke to many folks who were upset at the number of calls they had received. Upon inquiry, they were upset at Hillary robocalls -- 3 a day for several days. Had one woman ask me why they don't have real people calling her. I just said I don't know.

[Forkboy]

16. Actually, it is.

I'm not knocking your work at all. But the implication of your post is that Hillary supporters don't care, and that's obviously not the case. :shrug:

[book_worm]

8. he also is leading or tied according to most polls in early voting

which is good news because I tend to think many Obama supporters are more likely to turn out on election day, for instance, younger voters I think will vote on election day rather than early voting.

[rug]

9. Lol. Clinton will win because she cheats but Obama will win because you care.

[journalist3072]

10. You forgot one important thing.

YOU ARE CULTISTS.

YOU DON'T DARE HOLD YOUR CANDIDATE ACCOUNTABLE.

YOU DON'T DARE ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS OF YOUR CANDIDATE.

18. Try the decaf.

[thevoiceofreason]

19. Nope. Wrong again

We actually care. We are not guided by the winner take all, imperial appraoch of your borg. Our candidate cares and feels. His experience in community organizing wasn't a 3 month junket with his heart-throb -- it was his life for years. You have never really dug into the shallow experiences of your candidate.

[jefferson_dem]

29. Whoa. So-called "journalist" just got owned!

Well done, friend.

[CatnHat]

46. Obama supporters don't care

to ask the tough questions of their candidate. They don't care enough to hold their candidate accountable, they are cultists, of one mind, whether the guy is right for job, obviously, they just DON"T CARE.

. . .and to insinuate the Clinton supporters don't care about her campaign is pure garbage. But what else can we expect from the land of oz.

[Double T]

13. Cheerleaders get very disappointed when THEIR TEAM loses.

NObama!!!

[thevoiceofreason]

25. I fashion that you are the cheerleader.

I didn't post during the day and early evening, when the Hillary folks seemed to have taken over this site, because I was on the ground working for my candidate. What were you doing?

In Louisiana, where I am from, we have a saying. It is "She got old too soon." Used to describe one who has lost the joy and passion for life and/or their life's calling. That's what I see in your candidate. "Stop being so hopeful everyone. It's hard work."

Don't et me wrong. Hillary is smart as the blazes. And I will support her in the fall if she gets the nod. But I will mortgage my house if it will help defeat her in the primary.

[Double T]

33. obama can't even show up to conduct meetings as a Chairman........

how could ANYONE expect him to handle the job of President. obama is a bunch of wind.

[Zhade]

14. You care enough not to support CHEATERS, unlike Clinton's supporters.

(Most of them, anyway.)

[Skittles]

15. you need to change your moniker to thevoiceofobama

there's no reason there

[dkf]

20. Very snarky.

Very Hillary.

[Skittles]

22. here we go YET AGAIN

WHY do Obama folk automatically assume I am a Hillary fan? I AM NOT. SOME OF US ARE FOOLED NOT BY OBAMA *OR* HILLARY. WTF ever happened to your critical thinking skills????????? YOU SOUND LIKE FREEPERS.

[dkf]

34. Well you sounded like a Hillary person, being so negative and all.

Sorry if I got that wrong.

[Skittles]

36. you've got to start thinking for yourselves

all of the Obama supporters/Hillary supporters seem to have forgotten WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS. I will support whoever is chosen as nominee but believe me, neither should warrant the type of adoration/hatred I have seen here, OR outside of DU

[Guava Jelly]

17. um

I appreciate your enthusiasm for Obama (He's got my vote)
But threads like this come off as creepy.
I am not Obama, you are not Obama, only Obama is Obama.
Also Hillary's supporters care too.
and on a different note.
Nader's supporters care.
Ron Paul's supporters care.
Supporters normally care for there candidates(that is why they support them)

[Skittles]

21. damn straight they are creepy

for ANY CANDIDATE. Do they forget they are talking about POLITICIANS? :o

[Guava Jelly]

24. I wonder sometimes.

I am glad the op is excited and involved in politics that is to be commended.
But this sort of reminds me of the Guy who shot lennon.

[OhioBlue]

35. oh c'mon

we can have a little fun with the "cult" label. F-it.

We are Obama.
Join Us.


GObama!


(okay - just in case anyone doesn't see through it, or does but wants to pretend like they are all scared of the unknown or some fictional cult... I'm having fun with it.)

Now, I'm off to get my GObama tatoo, order a latte and buy some funky shoes.

[thevoiceofreason]

41. I was actually trying to play off of We Are Marshall.

This place is a hoot.

[OhioBlue]

43. I've GOT to see that movie!!!

I stopped at the local market today and wanted to rent it, but knew I wouldn't watch it yet. Obama canvass this morning, spend time with my son this afternoon, laundry/housework/DU/C-Span this evening/night...

anyway - I love it!!!

We are Obama.

:wink:

[Uben]

23. So, if he loses, they don't care enough?

Enquiring minds want to know!

[thevoiceofreason]

27. Ah, a comment from the one who Obama folks can't find his number

Nope, we care as much as we can. We are working hard. If the results don't go our way, then the voters have spoken. But, I don't think that television, poorly attended rallies and paid bloggers (not you) is the right strategy.

[maddiejoan]

26. OMG!

[rug]

37. "What do you mean, absorbed?"

[maddiejoan]

38. ...

:rofl:

I can ALWAYS count on you, rug :)

[MoonRiver]

28. You

BELIEVE, :crazy:, because you are a:

You REALLY need to read this book.

[thevoiceofreason]

30. I wrote a pretty simple post

If you would read it, you would realize there is no blind mass movement involved. It is comprised of thinking, caring people. No one loves an accountant. By the way, your candidate is an accountant.

[MoonRiver]

40. "We are Obama" sounds pretty fanatical to me.

And I don't understand what you mean by "your candidate is an accountant." Hillary is an attorney, unless I missed something.

[thevoiceofreason]

42. Meaning she wallows in the details and fails to rise and go for the big picture approach

And the we Are Obama, as I stated in another post, was just meant to be a play on We Are Marshall -- i.e., a rallying cry.

If you's meet me you'd realize I am the last person in the world who would/coould wear the "fanatic" label.

[DUyellow]

31. this is going to be like VA

[thevoiceofreason]

32. I truly hope so.

[RBInMaine]

39. Keep working like hell ! Good for you ! And thanks so much !!

44. Obama's Texas Ground Game has 40,000 volunteers

Mr. Obama's under-appreciated strength is his organization.

He opened 20 offices statewide and began Friday to step up get-out-the vote efforts with block walking, phone banks and TV commercials.

The Obama forces have help, too: Organized labor, most notably the Service Employees International Union, is contacting voters on his behalf. And the liberal activist group MoveOn.Org will host house parties for him Sunday in Dallas and elsewhere in which 400,000 Texans will be contacted by phone.

Mr. Obama started here from scratch but had 100,000 volunteers already working in Texas. Some estimate his number of volunteers has more than doubled since his staff arrived in the state.

"A lot of this is volunteer-driven," said Obama spokesman Josh Earnest. "Those are the folks applying the elbow grease."

The Clinton operation has 18 storefront offices across the state and has recruited 41,000 volunteers. They are bringing in thousands more from other states, all to knock on doors this weekend and encourage supporters to vote.
