1. The GOP Will Certainly Try To Make It One
It is all they have. Up to us to be on the offensive this time and not let them ignore the real issues.

3. They pulled the last two off by the skin of their teeth
Unless the voting machines truly are rigged it won't happen a third time. People are pissed. The economy is in the gutters and the war on commons sense is losing.

4. There are no coincidences from now to election day
all these events - from gay marriage to Bin Laden popping up are the unfolding GOP plan.
The plan that has always worked so well for them. God, Guns, Gays and Grandpa McCain.
It's enough to make ya puke.

5. With $5.00 gas, food shortages, mortgage forclosures and the war?
They'll fire up the same voter base they always fire up for these things. This is for them; they're not rallying to McCain yet, but they'll rally to this. Nice timing. Obama wouldn't get those votes even if he walked across the water of the reflecting pool and raised Reagan from the dead. So fuck 'em, we weren't counting on them anyway.

The rest of the people who might otherwise be swayed by this shit aren't going to bite. Obama's interesting coalition includes Black voters and young voters, whose numbers easily check-mate the GOP base.

And the election is six months away. This'll quiet down. Besides, it's a good decision and we should get behind it.
