Bottom line --
THEY like Palin.
THEY don't care if she's qualified.
THEY will vote for her.

We may be able to influence some fence sitters, but not millions of them.

All we can do, is turn out beyond anybody's wildest expectations. We have more registered voters than they do. If we can energize our people to actually cast their votes, we will win, and it will make it almost impossible for them to steal the election again.

We can bury them.

Let's GOTV. It's how we'll win.

IMO :7

We have two momnths to chip away at the "like" factor
And I think we will. The more she presents herself, the less people likje her. Her favorables are declining fast.

But yes, get out the vote. Really push and push to get that vote out.

I'm confident, actually.

3. Another thing we can do about it
is not let the media run wild and free without any corrections. When you see a lie or half-truth printed, write an e-mail correcting them and pointing out the true facts. Let them know people are paying attention.

4. Agree wholeheartedly = to let the media know we're watching.
But the media stories, lies, exposes, even of Palin won't change most peoples' minds. It would be like my dad and me trying to convince my mother that Reagan was an idiot. Nothing we said made a dent in her little bubble of belief. I think that's what we're dealing with here.
