Don't get cocky! Thinking you're ahead is a mistake!
We should not be too content with any lead Kerry may have at this time. If the Republicans feel like they're behind, they will only be that much more motivated!

You should all be struggling to spread word to get out and vote as if Kerry were down several points.




Don't even consider a Kerry victory yet! Don't look at it, or think about it. Push people to vote, don't get cocky!

5. Then make sure five more people vote just like you!
Give rides if you can, do whatever you can.

Many states need poll workers to deal with the massive turnout, our job is not finished!

12. You can be cocky when you shut the heck up and let people do....
...what they need to do.

Thanks to the NeoCons, I'm quite a bit LESS patient with preachy-types.

4. "Eh, Kerry's probably going to win anyway."
These are the kinds of things I have heard from Democrat friends who aren't too motivated to vote.

How can you not see that it's a bad thing?

10. Fight for every vote
You're absolutely right. My biggest worry right now is people will figure it's a lock and not wait in the long lines tomorrow. That's exactly how Democrats always lose.

14. Hell of a difference between cocky and confindent....
Confident means you've fought the fight and have facts and leadership on your side. Thats what I see at DU...we've been fighting the fight for four long years.

Afraid I can't do anything about the Dems you know that are too lazy to vote. You'll have to drag them to the polls yourself.
