Keep pushing

There is not nearly enough talk about getting out the vote. I saw a text on here a day ago saying Pennsylvania democrats was the lowest in several election cycles. I also am not hearing about Georgia, Arizona and other states that will put us over the 270 electoral college votes. Tell me what you are seeing, hearing.

Let’s go democrats. Let’s get the down ballot votes out and win these elections big.

about GOTF. My feeling is they have not worked in or for a campaign. These elections, especially national ones, are won on the ground. Knocking on doors, calling on the phone, sitting at booths at fairs and festivals, getting people registered, getting people to the polls. We have to keep people energized to go out and vote.

Polls are feel good things that mean NOTHING. I would take internal polling more seriously than the NYT poll for heaven sake. Even those are sketchy.

Due to health issues I cannot do what I normally do, but am calling people in swing states, I am sending notes and I will be driving people to the polls. That my friends is how we win elections. Good polls give lazy voters a reason to stay home.
