I Am Starting To Get Worried That Obama Might Be Peaking Too Soon...

[georgecolombo]

As Rachel Maddow would say, somebody please talk me down.

[BumRushDaShow]

1. Thank you for your concern

[knixphan]

2. yes. noted.

[alphafemale]

30. LOL!!

:hi:

[ClayZ]

60. We are just getting started!

[gateley]

3. What makes you think he's peaked? nt

[Blondiegrrl]

4. You're right. I wish his numbers were much lower!

In fact, he should be polling behind McCain. We'd be in much better shape then!

/sarcasm tag on vacation

[Mz Pip]

5. People said this

months ago, then weeks ago. So now we're down to days and still concerned.

Can I talk you down? I doubt it. I won't be talked down until Obama actually wins this thing Nov 4.

[AllieB]

6. You're funny.

There's only 24 days to go.

[AlCzervik]

7. how do you know he won't reach 60%?

[AllieB]

14. Yes, why can't Obama close the deal?

:sarcasm:

[AlCzervik]

17. hehe.

[cali]

8. oh just fuckin' deal with it.

so sick of the whiners and debbie downers. Oh, and learn a little history.

[silverojo]

74. There's no room for complacency

When you're dealing with slimeball Repukes, you have to be alert at all times. I believe Obama will win, but only if we don't end up with the Mystery Of The Disappearing Votes again....

[renate]

80. does 2004 count as history?

I was glued to DU all election day and I remember it vividly. The exit polls were firmly in our favor. We were CERTAIN that Kerry was going to win. That afternoon, we were merrily talking about whether we should be gracious to our Republican friends and acquaintances or whether we should rub their noses in it. That evening, we were still feeling good about the exit polls and it became just a question of waiting for the Ohio results.....

Elections have been stolen before. I have no worries about what the outcome of a FAIR election would be, and stealing it would be much much more difficult this time. But I won't completely relax until Obama is declared the winner.

[cali]

87. YOU were convinced Kerry was going to win. I was NOT.

I followed the polls in October and realized that Kerry had a tough row to hoe. this is a completely differnt political environment.

[georgecolombo]

86. What A Charming Reply

And very persuasive.

[Duke Newcombe]

9. Concern noted.

Say "what's up" to Sean for me. NOT.

[still_one]

10. let's talk after the debate, better yet after Obama becomes President /nt

[DJ13]

11. Unless the economy suddenly recovers (fat chance)

McCain's goose is cooked since the voters know which party is responsible for the mess.

[firedupdem]

12. I've seen this one before....same line....and I haven't been here

that long even though I have well over 1000 posts...Yep...this is a repeat!

[Stephist]

13. Is This A Joke?

:shrug:

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Nope, you're right, go ahead and jump

[darius15]

16. Just chill. Brother Obama has got this shit. Here's my football analogy:

I don't know how to tell you this, but there's 3 weeks left, and McCain has to make up 6 points in national polls. All those cute Ayers ads won't cut it. The next debate is on domestic policy, where Obama is likely to kick McCain's ass.

I don't know if you're a sports fan, but here is my football analogy:

There are 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter. McCain is down by 2 touchdowns. It's not yet time to throw that Hail Mary pass, but the game is quickly slipping unless a lot of things go your way.

[Barack_America]

18. Why? Didn't you orgasm yet?

:P

[HughMoran]

19. Your "concern" has been duly noted

And the "hide thread" option will be implemented within seconds of hitting the "Post Message" button.

[BlueIdaho]

20. Welcome to DU - so you think he's peaked do you?

I think there's still plenty of head room left for this campaign.

[mth44sc]

21. My concern is for the Repubs

they may just be out of power for the next 40 years. What on earth will they do with their free time?

[TooRaLoo]

22. Amazingly enough...

[Sarah Ibarruri]

23. You seriously need to go have some fun. Turn on a comedy program or something! nt

[RichGirl]

24. Would you rather the poll numbers were reversed?

Being up and trying to stay up is a much more desirable position to be in than to be down with less than a month to go.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. JUMP!

[JBoy]

54. LOL!

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. Is this like Peak oil, Peak Antifreeze or Hide 'N Go Peak?

I get confused sometimes

[Dragonfli]

27. McSidious Is Worried Too (that's why he is converting bigots)

[NYC_SKP]

28. Here, go DU this PBS Poll about Sarah Palin.

It needs help, you'll feel better helping out this poll:

http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Hokie]

38. not this poll again...

:argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

[NYC_SKP]

41. It's just for the op, might not have done it yet!

:evilgrin:

[regnaD kciN]

56. It'll get posted a Brazillion times!

:evilgrin:

[DangerousRhythm]

53. ROFL!

:rofl:

[peace13]

29. Rush on down and volunteer for Obama!

That will ease your concerns and help Obama as well.

[Realityhack]

35. No fair giving constructive answers n/t

[Quixote1818]

31. You can't peak to early with early voting already started. nt

[quaker bill]

32. oh thee of limited vision

If Barack's numbers in the polls hit 55 to 57, then start worrying. If you think his peak upside potential has been reached at 50 to 51, first, you are mistaken, and second, you never had much confidence.

[MadMaddie]

33. Things are fine...

We have 3 weeks to go and Obama is not acting as if he has won. He had a busy weekend, he even went knocking on doors himself today.

We will continue to fight as if we are behind, we will take nothing for granted.

Stay positive and talk to your friends and neighbors to make sure they vote.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

34. Obama just has to stay on his game,

and I don't see him changing anything now. He has looked and acted Presidential, especially in the debates. My mother, who is 90 and doesn't know diddly about computers and only watches TV is VERY impressed with him. She says, "McCain goes on and on and doesn't say anything, but Obama tells us what we will do to get out of the mess we are in." She becomes more and more impressed following each debate. She's a registered Republican, btw. She tells me that everyone at the assisted living center, save one, is for Obama, and that one fellow is "deluded". Mom lives in Illinois, and I call her every weekend and politics has become a favorite topic. All my family is voting Obama, btw.

I live in the reddest part of Arkansas, and yet I've been seeing a lot of Obama signs, and the folks at the local Democratic headquarters are very upbeat. I work at a clinic, and the patients who have been talking politics are talking about how wise Obama is and how crazy McCain is. The few patients who are known to be rabid Republicans have become very subdued; some have said they are disgusted with politics and wish they could write in Ron Paul. To my mind, this means they realize that Obama is going to win.

[elocs]

36. How many of these "concern" posts are we going to have to endure for the next 3 weeks?

To tell the truth, all the hand wringing, fear, and worry is simply getting annoying.

[Zuiderelle]

37. It's a TRAP!!1

:rofl:

[quakerboy]

39. As I wish to say to Rachel

frakin Jump already, so I can quit hearing the phrase "talk me down".

[valerief]

40. You have no faith in Premier, I see. nt

[Occam Bandage]

42. Who the fuck would be upset Obama was up 10 with three weeks to go?

Oh, right.

[jberryhill]

43. This video should help you on that ledge of yours

[Chichiri]

44. The Chimp's peak in '04 was about a month earlier than this . . .

. . . and he didn't come down far enough by the time Election Day ran around to lose.

[Drunken Irishman]

45. Let me tell you, this is when you want to start peaking.

October is the perfect month to start peaking.

If you wait too close to the election, you run the risk of the peak not reaching its potential. If you start too early, you're right, there will be a downtrend. However, McCain was the candidate who peaked too early, not Barack.

Obama's peak will level out and with only three weeks until the election, it's perfect timing.

[Hippo_Tron]

46. Umm, please see below...

[crossroads]

47. This kind of a post is like putting poison in the community well!

So just cheer up! Take a chill pill and get a grip! :dilemma:
Negative posts are so... so... well just sooo negative and unappreciated!
CR

[klook]

48. I Am Starting To Get Worried That the Chargers Might Be Peaking Too Soon...

They lead the Patriots 30-3 with 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter!

[Wickerman]

51. Careful, it's 30-10 with 4:22 left

I'm Series!!1!

[jefferson_dem]

49. Talk you down? From what...?

The top of the bridge as opposed to beneath it?

[MorningGlow]

50. Sigh. This Repuke Talking Point brought to you by...

Please choose another Repuke Talking Point and try again. Thank you for your concern.

[OneSelf]

52. Mega Dildos!

err...

Smegma Dittos!

[theothersnippywshrub]

55. Well, let's look at the facts.

Obama has demonstrated an ability to run a competent and effective political campaign.

You have demonstrated an inability to comprehend a political campaign.

Advantage Obama.


Obama responds effectively to the America hating campaign of republicans.

You have indicated a belief in the America hating campaign of republicans.

Advantage Obama.


Obama has mobilized early voting efforts in most important states.

You are unaware that early votes count the same as election day votes.

Advantage Obama.


Obama knows that there are more voters who are not racists than there are who are racists.

You seem to think that there are more voters who are racists than there are who are not racists.

Advantage Obama.


Obama knows that there are more voters who love America than there are who hate America.

You seem to think that there are more voters who hate America than there are who love America.

Advantage Obama.


Obama has purchased a little time on the networks closer to the date of the election.

You seem to be unaware of that fact or you believe that the networks have no viewers.

Advantage Obama.


President Obama is going to make your life better. Accept it.

[Binka]

57. Please Do Not Hurt The OP'S Brain

He/she is struggling. Climbing up the mountain. Be nice.

[theothersnippywshrub]

63. I feel bad.

However, I expect to get over it without anyone talking me down.

The mountain is such a challenge for so many. But the mountaintop is such a reward for everyone. It is sad that so many can not get to the mountaintop.


"Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness."

[jrockford]

58. Don't worry, if he needs to "peak" some more, Bettie White said she could help him out.

This was a joke, so you arses who think you're on a higher standard than me....feck off.

[backscatter712]

59. Picard shares your concern...

[WheelWalker]

61. The time for a thing is when it happens. Electors are voting. Now is.

[Tarheel_Dem]

62. Seriously, is this some Michelle Malkin shit? You need to find someplace

else to play. We have an election to win.

[theothersnippywshrub]

66. This Michelle Malkin? What a window to her soul.

[Tarheel_Dem]

67. That's the one. We know that she regularly monitors this board, because

we pop in her column from time to time. That's one reason I have a few longtime DU'ers on ignore. The constant handwringing and worry just gives fuel to people like Malkin.

[PresidentObama]

64. You really think McCain can reverse a 10 point lead, and lead in all Battleground states in 3 weeks?

[anonymous171]

65. Peaking too soon (as in October) is better than peaking too late (like Nov 5)

[msallied]

68. No. Jump. Please.

[alcibiades_mystery]

69. Didn't some other Freeper douche already post this exact shit 2 weeks ago?

:rofl:

[scheming daemons]

70. I think you should jump.

We all know what you are.

[Warren DeMontague]

71. Sarah Palin only thinks the 4.7 Billion yr. Earth is only 6,000 years old, so, in "Palin Years"-

Obama's Peak should last at least half a Geological Age.

[gabby garcia]

72. c'mon baby

don't fear the freeper.

:eyes:

enjoy your slice.

[4lbs]

73. You have the power to prevent that from happening! Donate $1000 to the Obama campaign

and you can guarantee it won't happen. Don't you understand, georgecolombo, you are the gatekeeper to victory and your money is the key!

Donate to Obama.

He will surely win.

It is within your power!

Do it now, and save us all!

Help us, georgecolombo, you're our only hope!

[Princess Turandot]

75. You've gotten one of my furballs very excited..

(Iz am Razputin and I approve this post. I am kwite hungry.)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

76. Wheeee!

[TexasObserver]

77. "Aw Geez!" --- Peter Griffin

[truthisfreedom]

78. Aww, your concern is duly noted. Barack Obama will never peak. He's on a collision course with the

Sun.

[me b zola]

79. I'm starting to think that you have peaked right on time

:hurts:

[Two Americas]

81. as Louis Armstrong would say...

"Put the horn to your lips, and blow."

Don't unnecessarily complicate things.

[MtUpWithWngsAsEgles]

82. Hope not

I pray that he has not peaked yet. I feel that he has leveled off. We need to be doing a lot more to help him out. I plan to start making calls for the first time today.

I will do my part. Do yours. So that Obama can do his.

We need a record turnout to match the record registration.

As Obama says, this is about us not him.

[DCBob]

83. The Obama campaign is just now starting their October offensive. The peak is still coming.

You "worry" too much.

[CreekDog]

84. Something in the water these days?

criminy.

[Ikonoklast]

85. I Am Starting To Worry That The OP Is Starting To Worry

That McSame is going down in flames faster than the five planes he crashed.

As Rush Limbaugh would say, "I can't hear you due to the massive amounts of 'hillbilly heroin' I ingested."

[Tribetime]

88. Jump jump jump jump jump
