4. The very best polling money can buy

I think voters were so pissed at voter suppression that a
significant number of us told the pollsters exactly the opposite
of how we intended to vote.

And did those early voting efforts carry the day! An early vote can't
be swayed.

The GOP Fear factor came home to roost, too. We were so scared
of them we got every last neighbor, friend, relative to pay attention
to this one. Vouchercare and Millionaire tax cuts ain't popular.

Into this mix stepped Obama for America, the ground game that we've
been hearing about since 1988 finally roadworthy.

The GOP are totally unaware that you can't lead public opinion when it
won't follow. To them, everything is a manageable corporate PR case
study.
