I'm a little down, I have just finished working my phone numbers, handed out
all my signs and most of my bumper stickers. I am
just reflecting how it has all gone so far, and I
am just realizing how tight this race is going to be here.
Honestly, I am feeling down and scared. It has been
a mixed bag here, I think VA is going to go Obama, but
I am more worried now about the rest of the country.

4. If VA goes Obama - so goes the country. Why the worry?
Chin up.

5. I think we in PA have a pretty good shot at an Obama victory
I also think that since Obama has a shot in traditionally red states, that is a reason to hope.



Work like the devil, pray and have the "audacity of hope."

20. Pretty good?
We have to win PA. If not, we need FL to compensate. Of course, I expect Obama to take both.

21. I'm just hedging my bets, I guess, i hope and pray he will take both too!
I've been out canvassing and handing out voting cards -the polls say we are in good shape, but I like to not be too cocky.

6. Visualize victory
close your eyes, quiet your mind, and visualize Obama with his hand on the bible being sworn in on January 20th.

Hold that thought in your mind and your heart.

9. And think about How That Will Make You FEEL. Emotions are powerful punctuators
for visualizations.

26. Good advice. I've been doing this a lot.
It lifts the spirits even if you don't believe in woo-woo.

Have fun with it. What's Michelle's gown for the Inauguration Ball going to look like? What great musicians are going to play? (I'm thinking Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen for sure.) How late will Malia and Sasha be allowed to stay up?

10. Go to www.pollster.com
And look at the electoral vote map. It should cheer you.

12. Michigan salutes you!
You have done all you can do, and thank you for your hard work. My state will be trouncing McFailin. There are many other states that will do the same. Keep your chin up.

18. HANG IN THERE, man! I appreciate what you're doing, too! I feel like I 'did my part', but I know
people who've done far more than me. Regardless, I hope all of our efforts will ADD UP TO VICTORY!

23. What is making you down? I've seen no indications that this is going to be a close election
turn off the corporate media. You say you think VA is going Obama, don't you know that is a great achievement since the state hasn't voted dem for president in 44 years? That should be an indication of what the night ahead is going to be.
