Tell your friends not to let forecasts of outcome keep them from voting.

[Skidmore]

Not to stay home because they think the election has already been decided. Vote as if your life depends on it. Because for lots of us in the 47%, it does.

1. Question!

3. Repub friends? I don't know what that is like.

Thank God.

5. I keep them around for entertainment!

2. Why would a forecast of outcome keep people from voting?

The voters are the ones who make the outcome.

4. There are people who think like that.

That someone else has got it--taken care of it, so it doesn't matter if they do anything. Really. I'll bet you know one or two people who operate that way.

The whole point being that there's no excuse for not voting.

6. Had a co-worker tell me that a lot of her friends weren't voting

because Obama already looked to have it locked up. They live in VA/DC areas. I told her to encourage her friends to vote 'cause VA isn't a lock for Obama and he needs VA for an easier path to 270. Don't know if she encouraged them or not but I couldn't believe someone who was a poly sci minor would let this go.
