News From Obama Camp...

[JiminyJominy]

my cousin who has been working in the Chicago office for the last 2 mths says the reason the Obama camp is feeling good is all about Ohio and Wisconsin.

i have been prodding him for info for the last month but he's never been wanting to give any up but just now over txt message i told him that my ulcer is acting up and i'm having trouble sleeping at night and i needed to hear something that would make me feel better and to give me something, anything.

so here is is text copied and pasted:

Unless the campaign is really wrong about OH&WI these 2 are our aces in the hole. The confidence level in these 2 states is such that we know we just need to pull out one of the other swings and for that we feel pretty good about Nevada. We cant let up in any state tho and thats why the blitz continues otherwise we can lose it last minute like the GOP lost Indiana in 08. Hope that gets you some sleep!


So anyway, just wanted to pass that along as to where people in the field see things right now and what they are being told at least from the top.

1. "My cousin..."

Oy vey...

2. As the late Al Davis use to say. "Just win baby."

3. Yep. Makes total sense. THANK YOU!!!

Provided you are being honest this is right in line with the state of the race. It is more or less over, but Obama is going to make sure Romney can pull no shenanigans. This is also subtly confirmed by the campaign's statement today.

Now all of Romney's blustering makes perfect sense. It all fits.

Thank you!!!

4. lol don't think anyone believes you bro

5. Yo, my cousin's best friend's sister knows this girl who hangs with Axelrod's kid

And she was all, like, damn, son, we're just gonna hold firm in OH and WI and just hope for one of those other states, but we're all on like the defensive and shit, you know? And that's what made me feel better even though I'm like a sock-puppet and shit, and have, like, six other DU personalities, like for real?

[Maximumnegro]

6. 4rlz though, he's a sock puppet?

[flamingdem]

19. I learned my lesson yesterday

and this post isn't helpful and I get why now! Live 'n learn on DU

[onecent]

7. Thanks for your concern! lol n/t

[JiminyJominy]

8. Well

Its your right not to believe me, but why would i post this to a bunch of people who are voting for Obama anyway? Just as a feel good anecdote? I posted something that I felt was good news when people around here are looking for good news. If the campaign genuinely feels confident about certain states then I think they have more legitimacy than outside pollsters.

I will delete it if people don't wanna hear it and if it invites a firestorm of ridicule and "troll" claims. Just know, that from the information I have..the Obama camp is very comfortable about those 2 states OH & WI. Take it fwiw.

9. I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for posting.

The natives will get friendlier as time goes on. Lots of trolls during this time. They get tired of them and start assuming everyone is one.

Thanks again for your story.

22. Yeah, even when it's good news! thanks for relating the news, JJ!

We'll all see for ourselves soon enough what is unfolding..in the mean time Be Positive and GOTV!

10. I believe you.

Sounds real good; he just has to win!

[Maximumnegro]

11. Thanks. It's GREAT news.

[marlakay]

13. I appreciate it

this can be a tough site and I see you are new. Just don't pay attention to people who jump at you.

Sometimes I find things I say can be totally taken wrong. When writing people can't see body language or hear tone of voice….

15. thanks for posting

forget about the poopie-pants people

[flamingdem]

18. I explained below that there are good reasons people are suspect of this kind of report

There is no reason to be discussing pulling out of any state at this point. That could be discouraging and that is what the Republicans are trying to do along with false momentum.

[Maximumnegro]

21. How does this post = pulling?

Only the O campaign can pull from a state. And anyone in OH is not going to sit out just because of a post in DU seen by a few hundred people...

23. Read it carefully

"Unless the campaign is really wrong about OH&WI these 2 are our aces in the hole. The confidence level in these 2 states is such that we know we just need to pull out one of the other swings and for that we feel pretty good about Nevada. We cant let up in any state tho and that's why the blitz continues otherwise we can lose it last minute like the GOP lost Indiana in 08. Hope that gets you some sleep!"



"We just need to pull out one of the other swings" (In the sense of win one of the other swings) NOT pull out OF. It goes on to say they feel good about Nevada being such a possible state. OH, WI & NV would get them over the line.

It concludes by saying "we can't let up in any state".

There's no pulling out of or conceding of any state mentioned here. The words "pull out" are there but not "pull out of" although, I can see how it could be read that way if read quickly. Probably a poor choice of wording.

27. JiminyJominy: THANK YOU for posting this and a sincere welcome to DU to you!

You can't please everybody, JiminyJominy. On DU, that's especially true. Just ignore the naysayers and say what you gotta say. There are those of us who appreciate it. We're out here.

Thank you, once again, for posting this important piece of information. Thank you for your efforts. Hope to see more of your posts on this forum.

28. I think it's good news. Thanks for sharing it.

I don't get the negativity your post generated. It's election season, people are on edge.

Hope you sleep better and your ulcer settles down now.

31. Thanks for posting! Ignore the negative nelly's...

they are never satisfied!

[Fringe]

12. This is what I've been thinking all along!

We have got to run our own race, and not worry about who is behind and who is ahead of us. If we start worrying about where everybody else is, we might trip and fall.

A lot of polls were way wrong in 2008, and there were at least three polls that were so far off they had McCain winning when in fact Obama was ahead and won the state.


The thing is we don't know, we have to keep going until Nov 6th. I know, I'm doing everything in my power to make a second term for Obama a reality.

14. Good to hear from those inside. Thanks for bringing it here.

Please take criticism with a grain of salt. People are understandably a little jumpy right now.

[flamingdem]

16. Yesterday I got attacked over similar "news" and now I know why

There's no reason to talk about Obama pulling out of any state now. There's no reason to give out priviledged info either.

Thanks to those who explained that what I thought was innocent reporting on CNN was suspect. The story is false momentum they'd like to push at any point via any venue.

17. Romney will go down in flames. A Flaming Bag of Shit.

[ncav53]

20. I believe you, I think they've built a very solid firewall

[dennis4868]

24. by the way

how do you copy and paste something from a phone to DU?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. I do it all the time.

You DU on your phone.

The OP says below they wrote verbatim what the text says below, though.

[JiminyJominy]

25. Not Meant

literally.

i just wrote what was in the text message.

[Scuba]

26. Don't count on Wisconsin yet. Our electorate is divided and our elections are rigged.

[JiminyJominy]

30. Thanks

Thanks for the support. Love the site.

Now, just need to get through the next two weeks!
