If we don't win

Poll question: If we don't win

How bad will are party be hurt if we do not win the GE? In an election year when Democrats are supposed to win how bad are we hurt if we don't.

1. i voted 'little' because the way i see it....

we'll most definately win lots of senate seats and house seats too...

if McLame ends up winning at least the Dems. wont be blamed when gas

hits $10.00 per gallon and the bid D word (depression) is being tossed about...


all jmo....


GOBAMA !!!

2. We're as badly hurt as the country is hurt.

But never give up. Just keep speaking the truth and trying to educate those who persist in voting against their own self interest.

7. With all due respect

you don't know what my interests are.

18. I assume they don't include endless war and bankruptcy from hospital costs.

3. Bullshit post. Dems Win, period. nt

[old mark]

19. NO,NO...

If we continue to assume we will win, we will not.
The US democracy can not stand any more republican destruction.
We must win the GE and restore the rights Bush and the right have taken away.
It's not the Democratic Party that needs to win, its Democracy and Freedom.

4. I didn't vote. No need, we'll win.

5. Other - If We Don't Win It Will Be Because They Stole It

again. And if American's are stupid enough to accept it then we get the government we deserve.

10. We (and the World) Deserve Far Better, Whether or Not We Are Able to Get It

We voted for Al Gore in 2000. That's the government we wanted and deserved. We got robbed.

We voted for Kerry in 2004. We got robbed again.

Most of the world's population lives under repressive governments. Surely they don't all deserve it.
It has more to do with the corrupting effect of power.

6. If we can't win this time, we might as well just give it up.

Seriously.

8. Some people are so deluded that they will reflexively cry voter fraud.

And refuse to acknowledge the failings of their candidate in the event of a loss.

McCain isn't a pushover, and he has as much of a chance to win as our candidate will.

To say otherwise is just wishful thinking.

[1awake]

9. I really hate your post,

.. mainly because its fairly accurate. McCain won't be a pushover, due to his popularity among the middle class, and the right's plan to continue to label Obama as an inept racist to "scare" the white vote away. stupid isn't it.. but it will work.. the question is to what degree. Obama is doing a good job lately confronting BS when it happens.. I hope he continues it.

And, anyone who thinks this election is in the bag better get a grip fast. We need to do everything we can.. a full court press if you will and we will need everyone. Cries of voter fraud will be as useful as a bucket of piss, so let's stay on target. (not that most here need to be told)

11. Mainly Because the Mighty Slime Machine Has Been Building McCain Up for Years

We are not running against McCain, we are running against the image of McCain that the Repiglickin' media has created.
The media ADORES McCain, and will do everything in their power to get him elected.
That means unlimited free airtime to any Repuglies who want to smear and slander and swift-boat our candidate, while our rebuttals will cost us $1 Million/minute (standard advertising rates).
Our huge fundraising advantage won't go far once this happens.

[Quantess]

12. More like, how bad will our COUNTRY be hurt if we do not get a Democratic president?

OP, do you even get it?

Edit to add, check your spelling. :)

[ccharles000]

13. ....

I have looked over my post and I can not find where I misspelled. Can you please inform me.

[crimsonblue]

14. If the Dems cannot win this fall,

I fear it may be death of not only the Democratic Party, but also the democracy we have nurtured the past 232 years. God knows we may be looking for a new country that is a little more conducive to liberty.

[Perry Logan]

15. Obama/McCain 237 - 290; Clinton/McCain 280 - 241

[Indenturedebtor]

16. Whoa... Is she running as an independent now?

And where did you get your poll? Fantasyleague.com?

If we lose this one we're ruined. We need both the congress and the WH to make the drastic changes that are needed.

There comes a time when the political games have to take the backseat to what politics is actually supposed to accomplish.

[Perry Logan]

17. The Obama people have called everyone I know and love a racist. Game over.

[VotesForWomen]

23. yep; that strategy may have worked for O in the primary, but it's not going to work in the GE

[WA98296]

20. If we don't win, the people lose because the VOTING machine programmers own us.

And, how the hell do we do anything about that?

[kentuck]

21. I will never vote for a brilliant and competent Democrat again...

for President. I will find the most boring, middle-of-the-road, DLCer, unappealing candidate I can find to vote for...

[VotesForWomen]

22. very much, if O is the nominee. it will show that dems are not serious about running this country.

[galledgoblin]

24. other: the party will probably come out stronger

but not because of our internal power, but because the republicans will have fucked us all so badly that people will accept the alternative grimly.

as a nation and a world? yeah, we'd be TOTALLY fucked. we can't take another extra minute of republican administration, much less four more years.
