Settle down folks - the polls indicate the electorals are very close.......
....with small states like Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and New Hampshire most likely to be the deciders in November.

Too much stress on Sarah Palin. The whacko conservative base is behind her. There is enough wrong with John McCain to keep us all busy. Sarah Palin will self-destruct especially if she has to give anymore interviews.

The Hillary Clinton disappointees are out there for grabs! That is where the efforts should concentrate.

Check those EV links above. Some of them have stats on Congress also. Very important. We need to win more seats in the House and definitely more in the Senate.

Don's be blind-sided by Sarah Palin. That is exactly what the RNC brainiwhacks expected us to do.

1. Let me add this about those EV polls......
They are averages, or they consist of the latest individual polls from famous pollsters.

Famous for being consistently right or consistently wrong. In other words: caveat polls of any kind.

As you look at those EV polls, watch the trends - not the trends of the last few days, but of the last few weeks.

The MSM AND the famous pollsters want this election to stay close. Think about that also. And one last thing.....

....Put away those suicide kits! As Bill Clinton always says: the people will get it right. They always do.

3. Well, Bill Clinton is NUTS. Exhibit A: Nixon.

5. I am disturbed that so many polls are showing McCain gaining
the only answer is to fight with all we have or loose our country. I think Obama has got it but we need every vote and vigilence at the polls.

I suggest phone banking through Obama's web site into the swing states.

Call into key states. Here is info. There is a tutorial.

6. That's right, national polls are skewed
by the extremists. We will win in NM and CO, and maybe NV. I think NH and IA are already in the bag. That's where it's all at. Forget everything else. Register voters and GOTV.
