NO ONE should be on the fence by November.
When Democrats vote, Democrats win.

(33,497 posts)good point is among likely voters in WI in the Marquette Poll out today has Obama leading by 3, however, among all registered voters Obama leads by 6, so the more people we get to the polls the better Obama will do. GOTV!!

(34,857 posts)Looks to me you'd rather have a Democratic Party that gives you all the warm fuzzies in the world but gets absolutely nothing done than a Democratic Party that can piss you off...but at least stops Republicans.
You want the 1980s Democrats - you know, the party that was railroaded by Reagan and the Republicans...that was blocked out of the WH for an entire decade. Yeah, no. I want the Democratic Party that gets into power, does just a little, and then gets thrown out - but at least they got something done. What'd the Democrats of the 80s accomplish? A helluva lot less than the Democrats of the 90s and 10s.
