4. It is very important for all of us Democrats to get out and vote for Obama
Tue Dec 13, 2011, 01:18 AM
Dec 2011

I dont think it will be a landslide and I think we should all encourage everyone we know to vote. Complacancy is dangerous. Voting for a third party is probably a give-away vote for the republicans. I very much want to see Obama get 8 years. He most likely will be bolder in his second term. I hear too many liberals say they will not vote or vote 3rd party. He is not perfect but he is on our side, the republicans are not. The 60 minutes interview was excellent. We had 8 years of Bush and Reagan. If Obama looses I will be very disappointed in the american people as a group. So I will absolutely vote for Obama in 2012!!!

Greg Palast predicted it will take massive numbers to overcome GOP fraud. That still holds true. freshwest Dec 2011 #22
Obama will need a landslide to win - because Election Fraud will reduce his True Vote by 5%. Richard Charnin Dec 2011 #5
We all hope so. But without a simultaneous 'landslide' in the House and Senate, it won't matter much PSPS Dec 2011 #6
