What's up with Rachel lately?

[Top Cat]

She is talking like we are over confident

[GarbagemanLB]

1. You mean you haven't seen the threads talking about having the champagne ready?

People on here are way too confident. The polls look good, but turnout is everything.

[writes3000]

3. As long as people are working and not just patting themselves on the back,

I'm fine with them being excited and encouraged.

If people aren't working, they need to be admonished.

[mwei924]

2. She was talking about Chuck Schumer.

..saying that Obama will win with 300 EVs.

[johnnydrama]

8. hmmmm

If Chuck Schumer was talking about winning with 300 EV's, he's underconfident.

[HughMoran]

4. Good for her...

She doesn't want to be dissapointed again. We need to keep working hard 'till Nov 4th when the polls close.

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. New Hampshire

Obama said it...... don't get complacent.

Rachel is driving that home.

I can't believe we get Keith and Rachel.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. nothing wrong with that... plus she has to follow KO's campaign comment every night now

[Top Cat]

9. Why?

[Top Cat]

10. Why?

[Motown_Johnny]

13. he is doing one every night now, at the end of his show... so it always is the lead in now

[Kahuna]

7. She's always a Debbie Downer at election time. nt

[lonestarnot]

11. If you're listening you will soon find out via Kennedy coming up.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. I predicted at least a 5% loss because of republican voter fraud

I'm anxious to hear what Kennedy reports but he gets his info from Greg Palast

[lonestarnot]

18. ACLU!

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Oh, I thought it was from Palast..... thanks

The Rolling Stone article was written by Palast and Kennedy

[BootinUp]

12. Shes quite smart, I'd say we should listen to her nt

[Top Cat]

17. I agree we must continue to work as though we are behind in the polls

I guess the problem I had was her delivery....

[RollWithIt]

14. She is killer tonight with her pre commercial one-liners...

God, I'm gonna quote Paris Hilton, "Loves it."

[justiceischeap]

16. Some folks are...

One of the worst things that could happen to Obama at this point are to be this far ahead in the polls. Some voters tend to complacent if their candidate is ahead and then don't go and vote. That's a sure fire way for Obama to lose. Personally I'd like to see the polls closer so people don't become complacent.

Let's not forget voter fraud, possible racism once inside the booth, low voter turnout from younger voters, etc.

[Top Cat]

20. You're right....

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. The rolling stone article was killer ... look at the feeders underneath

she gives the data... what a show.

[zulchzulu]

21. I will celebrate on Election Night, but right now I'm acting like we're 10 points behind

There will be plenty of time to party after the polls close on November 4th.

Until then, make sure you are doing something to help out!

GOBAMA!!!

[Top Cat]

23. Agreed... But November 4th will be a glorious day

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. November 5th will be a glorious day

Not until they call it

[Top Cat]

30. Agreed

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. Bill Richardson looked great his beard is starting to gray out

He's 4 older than me and mine is white with hints of brown and blond

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. Here she goes again on going negative on 'dems be cool'

Now, I don't get this segment.

[Top Cat]

31. That's why I poste this

[yourguide]

27. we are overconfident.

I had a DUer yell at me that we dont need the undecideds.

That is bullshit.

[Uzybone]

28. She is right!

You never win until you win.

[Willo]

29. Confidence is one thing, over confident is another

and then there are the Debbie Downer DU threads that discourage any expression of joy.

BUT THEN, I read a thread that our volunteer levels are dropping. That is a problem.

The message has to be informative, inspiring while not discouraging. I think the details need to be conveyed as part of the warning.

That in addition to rigged machines and voter suppression, McCain's ground team IS getting out there now.

That the problem with believing in a landslide (as I do) is saying that to someone, who says that to someone else, who then feels they don't need volunteer as much or work as hard.
