Yes, the polls look great. The President's message may be getting across. Please don't let this good fortune become a reason to let up. Please don't get over-confident. Please don't stay home on election day, and don't let any other Democrat you know do so either.
Lest we forget, it's a post Diebold-photo-ID-law-Koch-Brothers-Super-Pac-Citizens-United country now, and Republicans are on the defensive. We must get fired up! We should engage our friends when appropriate, and we should (politely, of course) make it clear that we're not going to put up with any right wing bullshit. We must be ever vigilant of any con-artist voter registration drives or poll shenanigans. We should offer to give people who need one a ride to the polls, and make sure that everyone, particularly our seniors and college students, understand what they need in order to vote and make sure they have the proper ID and know where to go. And make sure they mail (have mailed) their absentee ballots.
There is too much at stake. A Romney/Ryan White House will only create wealth for those who already have it. The rest of us will have to fend for ourselves. President Obama is doing what he can to bring back our once vibrant middle class and help the less fortunate rise in station. We need him in office for a second term.

(40,416 posts)I despise concern trolls here, but I do not see you as one.
Concern trolls post threads like: They're gonna steal it!!! which is the most insidious DU concern troll post.
The other one that appears here is the grand Rovian conspiracy. This fat fuck is like God herself, with omnipotence, omniscience, a perfectly evil genius who has unlimited power and knowledge. Bullshit!!!
These conspiracy theories infect DU like Ebola. But they are only shadows, mere memeic echoes. Ignore them.
Rove is nothing but a grade school bully. And votes are counted under the oversight of bipartisan observers, many of whom are lawyers.
Not everything political is a grand Rovian conspiracy. Maybe DU will find that out this November, but I doubt it. If you want to change things, stand up and run for Democratic party delegate. That's how change happens.
If you doubt it, ask Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell who used that exact methodology to turn the Republican party into what we see today.
You want a more liberal Democratic party? Than get on the front line and stand up for delegate. And get your friends to do it, too. That's how it's done. Not sniping from the sidelines on DU.
Sorry.
