Democrats are on a roll! We can smell the victory in the distance!

Not trying to jinx anything but need to counter the concern trolls by stating the obvious:
We are starting to win the national debate over the issues and our philosophical vision is the preferred choice of the citizenry.

We are better off now than we were 4 years ago.
Democrats see a future that benefits all citizens.
The GOP has a vision of the future that benefits the 1%.
The people are seeing the difference.

Keep up the good work and let's close this one strong.

campaign or to the Dem in the tightest race for the Senate or Congress. It's the only way to help counteract Republican smears and lies and get our message out!

I cannot get over the anxiety of thinking how many Diebold-like voting machines rigged by the Teabillies. And I feel powerless to fix it.

The thought that a few sneaky software changes could swing the election is scary, and I don't know if that election steal stuff can be averted in this election cycle.

Right now I am just more concerned with the House and Senate races. I believe that the Presidential race is in the bag for Obama - Please still go out and VOTE Dems!!!

Of any indications of a slam dunk victory. We should NOT be complacent, and cocky. We must act as if the polls were neck and neck. The victory by an even bigger margin will be that much sweeter.

is more ofthe track record of the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. As well as the fact we are dealing with a group that has been proven to do anything (legal, illegal, or unethical) to win. And even worse, the GOP has been wounded, badly. Nothing more dangerous than dealing with a wounded, flailing out-of-control animal. We must be vigilant and VERY careful.

that President Obama isn't cleaning up the mess they left him fast enough and the voters should put them back in charge.

There is nothing they won't do to win/steal this election.
Something just doesn't feel right with so many abandoning
The campaign in the final stretch to the finish line. No, just as
Florida was a shock to most of us, they have alternative plans in place
Besides laying down and dying in the final weeks. Stay alert
To the bitter end and be prepared to fight any bullshit they sling
In the final hours.
