Why Obama Staffers Are Secretly Worried, from the Daily Beast

1. They NEED to be worried about everything. The repukes have no conscience, so they will do

ANYTHING to win.
I am gratified to know that they are on the march and will fight all the dirty tricks that the repukes will try.

This is one of the reasons that the repukes will do ANYTHING to win....because if Obama wins and has a filibuster proof Congress,

the Justice Department would no longer be in the hands of pliable functionaries who have shielded the administration from the kind of scrutiny it deserves.

5. Were recruiting more lawyers in PA today
A Philadelphia radio station today had a story about Obama's people speaking before various law firms in Philadelphia to recruit additional volunteer lawyers for election day.

Time to "lawyer up", baby.

7. Given the long lines & machine problems
we're already seeing, I wonder if Tuesday will be too late. Here in Gwinnett county, Georgia, there were 7-8 hour lines at the advanced voting locations, and there were a lot of problems with the Diebold machines.
