Autumn angst as dems fret

Please don't kill the messenger.

Unfortunately, I see little to disagree with here. Quite simply, Senator Obama needs to score a Reagan-esque debate victory or he is going to lose this election. It's as simple as that. Lake, Trippi and Schoen are not Karl Rove hacks. Especially not Trippi!!!!!!

1. My angst went away when Obama said "Enough!" today.
Shame on you for using Reagan and Obama in the same sentence.

3. If the majority of your posts weren't this same message over and over again...
I'd read the link. But I've had enough of "I'm worried, I'm worried, here's why you should worry, oh help, I'm worried."

5. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all doomed, the end is near
This is just another mindfuck to discourage the Obama folk.

8. Whatever...
Keep your heads in the sand. Some of us actually live OUTSIDE of the bubble and understand what is going on in this race right now.

10. Yep, you have the internal polling, the fundraising totals, the ad strategies of both campaigns...
The debate strategies and the long range & short range talking points.

Last week was the Republican convention. But we shouldn't take that into account. Nope not at all.

Please share more doom tinged posts. It helps us all do what? Volunteer more? No.

14. And your hand wringing is going to help how?
Reaganesque debate? Go away. Far far away until you come back with something useful for Senator Obama and Senator Biden. Like help register new voters for the Democrats or pledge some money or go canvassing, or just make a poster to hang up somewhere supporting our candidates. But please stop whining about how impossible this is for Obama. Negativity leads to belief and then leads to inevitability. Ridiculous nonsense. Obama is doing fine, its going to be a tight race as he is the first black man ever nominated to be president and he is fighting the MSM and Rethugs.

7. The sky isn't falling.
Chill. If not for yourself, then chill for the Obama campaign. We're FINE. There's nothing wrong here. Nada. We lose the election when we lose hope.

15. After reading so many of your posts
I feel you are trying to distract us from the real task at hand. I live in the South and I feel a hope I have not felt in years so quit posting we are going to lose time after time I see real optimism I have not seen since 1992 but even more so this time maybe you were at republican hq

16. Wow! Another "concerned" low count poster. You guys are coming
out of the woodwork. You can tell your buddies over at the Freeper swamp, we're not buying it. Posts like yours are only posted to dispirit supporters here, which isn't going to happen. The media buzz surrounding Palin is just because she's new on the national stage, and not much is known about her, but it appears that some in the media are now doing the vetting that McCain didn't. So we'll be fine, but thanks for the concern.
