PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! It's like a wake for GOP on most channels
whether I was watching Gergen and Map boy a couple of days ago or MSNBC yesterday or C-SPAN interview right now. People get it. People who do this stuff for a living realize McCain is already sunk. There is a solid resolve from progressives, young people, African Americans, Latinos, and other right minded people to ensure GOP is OUT OF POWER!

Folks, it is not going to be pretty for McCain and MANY MANY Republicans on Tuesday.

This thing could well be called by midnight Eastern Standard Time. Even at that, it will be known WELL before that and the networks will merely hold off from stating the obvious due to western voters still at the polls.

20. As much as

So thanks for the word.

I will really enjoy my party Tuesday night if what we think is going to happen happens.

3. I absolutely agree with you
"There is a solid resolve from progressives, young people, African Americans, Latinos, and other right minded people to ensure GOP is OUT OF POWER!"

This is why I believe you are so correct...this statement. I think the poll takers, pundits, analysts, etc. will be surprised at how the groups you mention, will come through for Obama. Even on Faux this morning, it was so over...

6. I would love to see an election day retrospective
showing old, young, sharply dressed, homeless, black, white, brown, etc. solemnly standing in line for hours as they wait patiently to register their vote in a referendum on Bush and his horribly treasonous followers in the GOP congress.

5. Seeing all the dirty tricks the GOP played, and all those Obama votes....
...openly disappearing in front of voters' eyes (even Oprah's), I have never been more afraid in my life.

These thieves aren't even hiding it anymore. It's as of they're saying 'we don't care if you vote against us, -you can't win'.

I can't wait until this is all over.

9. I'm sorry, but they CAN'T get away with it.
You are right it is not over, but the people (ME, GORE, CLINTON, MILLIONS OF VOTERS WHO KNOW THEY VOTED FOR OBAMA......)

NOT THIS TIME!!!!

Once Olbermann is on, then I can turn on the TV.

8. When the urban areas of Virginia and Pennsylvania have returned for Obama, you can go to sleep.
It really comes down to how fast those two states report. When they're in the clear, you're all set. He can have Florida and ohio.

10. He's going to narrowly win both Florida and Ohio
it is going to be an absolute LANDSLIDE.

I hope even when people in line are viewing their PDAs in Washington, Oregon, and California and Hawaii that the scales have tipped to Obama...they continue to pour it on. They say, "I WILL BE HEARD HERE".

It will be amazing to watch the margin of victory grow. Each additional vote in those western states will add to the gravity and weight of MANDATE for CHANGE!

12. Even the the Faux Sunday morning round table this morning was finally facing reality.
Brit Hume looked totally defeated and depressed. It's over folks. We just need to finish out these next two days and vote and then celebrate and then proceed to repair this country.

13. think about Nevada. 50% of vote in at Clark County
and Dems are UP by 20%. Think about it. This is going to get UGGGGGLY.

Any time you have Georgia scared about it being close with so many African Americans voting....WOW

16. yeah. the McCain "leaked" memo was the biggest giveaway
when they have to essentially put out their own spin, it is clear they are hoping to buffalo people away from the truth which means their internals are actually probably WORSE than the conservative Network backed polls that don't want to show how blindingly obvious it is that Barack runs away with it.

18. I can't stand TV and got rid of mine years ago
I will be out at a key traffic point with a "TURN IN YOUR BALLOT!" sign as we vote by mail in Oregon.

Then I will be at election central at the Fair Grounds as usually watching the Obama Tsunami hit America, state by state.

21. Got to make sure that the Republican un-dead stays dead. I've seen too many horror
movies where the heroes think the zombie-monster is dead, but isn't really. I'm so glad the Obama campaign continues to pour it on in the past few days. I have ZERO concern about complacency. People are being motivated by the desire to make IT happen.

24. Be alert for McCain to rise up out of the bathtub like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
Or maybe he'll reach his hand out of the grave and grab our ankle like in the end dream sequence of Carrie.

28. that's what I'm afraid of!
Which is why I'll be phone banking Tuesday!

Besides that, I found out one of my clients is voting for McCain. Potentially three votes. I won't stop phone banking until I'm satisfied I turn up three votes I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Gotta' cancel my client out.
