Last Thursday, everything was so focused here.
Today it's not. I know the debate tonight is not as important as last week's, but I think it matters quite a bit. I also believe, in an atypically mystical way, that the numbers of us out here pulling for the candidate contribute to his success. The more we focus on Edwards kicking ass, the more ass he is going to kick.

The country is like a great big stadium right now, and I feel like a lot of people on our side are on their cellphones or in line at the concession stand.

So clench your fists until your knuckles are white. It's going to be a rougher ride than last week was for Kerry. We are going in there with him, and WE had better be as ready as he is!

2. The republicans are sending out messages
For people to get online and smash the phone lines and the internet polls after the debate. Why aren't we going at this harder? The freeps may not know how to do much, but they can sure fuck up a poll.

6. I got just one email from McAuliffe on this
As opposed to four or five in the lead-up days last week, with various signatures, all coming out of DLC. I'm afraid our machine might be resting on its laurels a little.

3. i'm very wary of cheney
he is of course completely incompetent and corrupt to the gills but his demeanor will be hard for je to crack. i fear that tomorrow the story will be that the veteran hand showed the newcomer to not be ready to "defend the nation."

4. I'm focused, and I'm praying for John to knock it out of the park.
the difference is, last Thursday, a lot of us seemed like there was a doubt it was going to happen. This time, at least for me, my faith is more solid than ever. There's no point in what-if scenarios.

8. JE will kick ASS and the fat A$$ will lie again and again
We need to hit the polls and contact the press with the truth at every turn. WE can and must do this again. As long as we keep the abject failure of BC the focus we can not loose.

11. See the yellow box, and numerous posts of ways to get your voice heard
I have posted two posts with media information, polls, and real time votes. The info is here. The email I got from the DNC was rather thorough and had all the contact info we needed. No need for multiple emails.

I will be online the second the debate ends, and I will be hitting all the polls and writing emails, LTTE, etc. I plan on being every bit as active as I was last Thursday night.
