Steady People...This is their Push...Steady and Ready
Hold the line.

They're coming now with every last bit of nonsensical shit they have. But they're weak at their core. Weak. They're going to throw a few more assaults at our lines, but we can hold.

So, what does this mean in terms of DU. No hyperventilating about the attacks. Don't give them the satisfaction. Counter them, or maybe vent a little, but don't fret, and don't panic. Just hold the line.

What does it mean on the streets? We're bleeding them in terms of money. They were expecting a five state race, and Obama's taking it to them all over. They even have to send Palin into Omaha to try to save two electoral votes from Nebraska. We're overrunning their positions in North Carolina and Florida and Virginia, and our big pushes are coming in Indiana and Ohio. So donate donate donate. Every attack that pisses you off, send in another $10. If one really gets your goat and you want to fight, send in $25, or $100 (if you got it, brothers and sisters, if you go it). What does it mean on the streets? Be out there. Always Be Closing. Buttons on everything. Talk to strangers. Stop by your office and keep canvassing. Be the enthusiasm. Bring the motherfucking funk, yo. They got nothin'.

They have lies and garbage. Trash. They have no plan, and they have no fucking future. Keep it calm. Keep it steady. They're weak at their core. And when we're ready...

BAYONETS!!!

2. Always be closing. Always be closing.
Attention. Interest. Decision. Action.

What does it take to elect a Democrat as President? It takes brass balls to elect a Democrat as President.

God I love Mamet...

3. In accordance, this is what I'm doing, and I suggest everyone who can do-
Stand on busy intersections with your Democratic candidates signs and wave like a motha!

We're going to make sure the current Repuke is out of office due to his inattentiveness by showing his opponent's name.

Every week until the election.

4. I read in a NY Times story this morning
that the O-camp has been increasing their advertising by 20 percent each week. That reminded me of the "boiled frog" analogy that someone posted a week or so ago. Gradually turning up the heat until the frog is too stunned to jump out of the pot. Not to mention making McFrog use all his ad $ fighting for red states he shouldn't have to worry about.

Boil JohnnyMac boil. And when you're done boiling, we're gonna disect you. }(

15. speaking of MONEY...that's what they're going after - "where is Obama getting his money??"
it's more than just 'associations' - they are going to start talking about all the "nefarious places" the money is coming from, in small doses...


nevermind that i - a thirtysomething white female - am donating as much to a political campaign as i donate to my church, for the first time in my LIFE

20. Very good.
Their "push" provides the Obama-Biden campaign with an opportunity to bury them.

Nominated.
