I believe today marked the final turning point in this campaign.

[DCBob]

The $150M and Powell's endorsement were the final nails. You can hear in the voices of the Republicans. They know it's over. We know it's over. Everyone knows it over. God bless America and God bless the next POTUS -- Barack Obama.

1. Hear, hear! nt

[Rosco T.]

2. It ain't over till 11/5.. keep at it!

[DCBob]

9. True dat but the odds are very high it's already over.

Cheers!

[elzenmahn]

17. Only if...

...we continue the push we've been making. Remember who still holds the keys to power.


IF we don't let up, and continue to fight and not get complacent (as Obama had said), THEN it will be over for the Repubs.

[peacebird]

3. I do hope you are right... it's going to be a long two weeks....

[polichick]

5. It sure is - I'm gonna have to remind myself to breathe!

[DCBob]

20. Indeed it will but I suspect the polls will become more decisive in the next few days..

and give us a bit more comfort.

[RagAss]

4. Keep punching...the champagne can wait !

[DCBob]

10. Yes. But we should have the champaign on ice.

Cheers!

[RagAss]

19. Yup....n/m

[tularetom]

6. Maybe but the fat lady ain't even in the building yet

and its a long time before she actually sings.

[DCBob]

12. She practicing.

[sandnsea]

15. I'm the fat lady, I've said it before

and I don't even have the sheet music yet.

It's not over until we get every person that has registered into the voting booth. We have to vote.

[MarthaMyDear]

7. At my job, the Hannity-addicted nurse I work beside...

...just said this week, "there's nothing that can be done now...", with a heavy sigh.

I just smile and give a thumbs-up to the pic I have of Obama on my desk.

That heavy sigh told me it's pretty much over for McCain and co...this woman is a very vocal and angry Repub...but I'm still nervous and devoting daily time and money to the campaign!

[monmouth]

8. Barack is enjoying early Christmas presents....LOL...

[VolcanoJen]

11. It's encouraging, and I also think it's a turning point. BUT DON'T STOP WORKING.

Don't take one damned thing for granted, not with this crowd. WORK. CANVASS. COME TO OHIO! (see my sig line!) VOTE!!!

[DCBob]

13. Correct. In fact we should work even harder for a landslide and a mandate.

That will send and even stronger message of change.

[Lifelong Protester]

14. I am so with you, VolcanoJen

I am very, very optimistic, but I cannot let my heart sing yet until it is a done deal. So I agree, we will all need to keep on working and keep on talking and keep on donating.
I also plan to take my digital camera to the booth on 11/4. Anyone else? No ONE is going to steal, change or alter my vote.

[salguine]

16. Don't gloat yet. mark my words—they are gonna steal this thing if it's even

remotely possible. Of course they're going to try to do it at the ballot box; but if that fails, they might just try it with tanks and helicopters this time. Surely you people haven't forgotten what a vicious cabal of criminals Obama's running against? Have you forgotten that they've spent the last thirty years building their totalitarian fascist state, and have finally brought it to within 98% of completion? Do you really, for a fucking minute, think they're just going to walk away from it now if the election doesn't go their way, when they're this close to their Amerika, and will never be this close again? Jesus Christ, how naive are you people!?

I mean, I hope I'm wrong, but I'd wager I'm not. There's going to be big trouble before this is over.

[BlooInBloo]

18. We'll see. They're in full attack mode, to scare enough white folks away from the black guy....

We shall see.

[DCBob]

22. The more they attack that way the more they alienate the moderates.

They appear to be in a no win situation -- if they attack they lose, if they don't attack they lose.

[BlooInBloo]

23. We won't know whether or not that's true until election day.

[RoccoR5955]

21. WRONG!!! It's not over until the votes are counted!

Remember 2000 and 2004, when the Republicans stole those elections? Sorry brother, but it's not over until the votes are counted. There is still work to do. We MUST get out the vote, and make sure that the votes are counted. There's no law against taking a camera with you to the polls, and many of you have cameras on your cell phones. Document your vote with your cell phone camera, and MAKE DARN SURE that they cannot steal this one away!
