. . . aren't going to get President Obama reelected.
Yes, the media loves a horserace. Yes, they shaped the post-debate narrative.
But we saw this coming. Even if the president had been stronger, they still would have talked about a Romney victory.
But WHINING about it isn't going to get us anywhere.
I'm donating again this morning. Focus your energies on spreading the message.
There's enough time, and this thing is still very very winnable.
I think there's some evidence that Romney's surge has leveled off, and Vice President Biden certainly did a great job this week.
Plus, just like the president's surge, Romney's is a little early. The media would love to show the president coming back to claim victory.
LET'S DO THIS THING.

But there's plenty all of us can do. Spread the word in person and online, everywhere.
This jackhole Romney is going to end Medicare, Social Security, a woman's right to choose, civil rights advancements, and then he's going to turn around and slash taxes for his rich buddies.
If we all help to drive that message home, a few minutes of posing in a debate won't stand up. I'm convinced of it.

I like this theory. Hopefully they will end up rooting for an Obama comeback.

(15,472 posts)What did we vote for ? and though he hasn't done all the things I voted for he's miles above a snake-oil salesmen,it's the askance we allow carnival barkers to impose on us .
And I think if we all do our part a majority of Americans will agree.
