4. She said that about bush in 2004
I know Kerry won. But, it was too close.

6. She shouldn't be saying crap like that
She should be doing the right thing and telling people NOT to think this will be a cakewalk, that we must remain ever-vigilant, and we must be on our best behavior so we can convince as many as we can to vote for Obama.

To begin thinking this is a cakewalk so early in the game is to invite disaster. I thought that once too... it didn't take long for me to see the error of my ways.

12. Gotta say it's going to be a tough race
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 06:14 PM by Stagecoach
That way it'll prevent the people planning to vote for Obama from saying, "Obama has this in the bag, I don't need to go vote." Otherwise, get enough people thinking that and McCain will be able to sneak out a victory. We need to keep people that'll vote for Obama incentive to go vote.

13. Sorry, can't get on that band wagon yet. There was an abundance
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 06:32 PM by Fla Dem
of Democratic overconfidence in both the 2000 and 2004 campaigns. I enthusiastically gave my time, energy and dollars to both the Gore and Kerry races. Had my heart and spirit broken twice. Although this year feels different...well so did 2004, so anyone who feels this is a "slam dunk" good luck to you. I hope it all comes true, but I will not accept we have won, that America has won until I hear the words....President Elect......Barack Obama.

16. Turnout has to be as high or higher than that of the primaries
I think we can outflank McCain. But we can't afford to be complacent.
