If we can Get Out The Vote, we will win

Honestly, that's the only way to reverse the trend

1. the "trend" toward WHAT? The election in Mass says more abt a bad candidate than a "trend"
If HCR doesn't get some teeth, there will be more to worry about, imho.

3. Exactly - if you want to GOTV you first need to understand why bother?
Right now it is not clear what a "Democrat" is.

2. I don't know how many thousands of doors I've knocked on through my years BUT
I have a sense of dread about doing it again this year. Many people are PISSED and not just tea baggers. To knock on any door for a political candidate is an invitation for a person to vent. I've heard it many times. This time, however, there will be much, much more venting. Can we hold up? We'll see.

4. The Courage Campaign in CA is working to get out the Millennium voter.
Those are the 18 to 30 year olds that voted in 2008. It is important that they vote in 2010 also.

It has been shown that once someone votes in two consecutive elections they tend to always vote.
