Doh. Got to remember: Buttons in posts, tags in comments.

Rec'd.

6. (elaborating on the last sentence in your #5 , really) Recall The Commentator Formerly known as NCSteve's advance heads-up that this weekend's polls would artificially improve McCain's post-Convention poll numbers. Obama and his people have been underestimated repeatedly. Have a little faith that they're hardly about to lay down. There are debates coming up. Imagine how fretful McCain's people are, praying he won't say too many, too damaging self-destructive things between now and November.

The amount of time between now and the election is an eternity in politics.

Sound advice for folks behind the computer. Nice work and recommended.

Also, vote early, if you can, so that you can clear your schedule on Nov 4th and spend some time helping GOTV.

This is the first time in my life that I purchased campaign paraphernalia. I can't keep track of the positive comments I've received. I know I am adverting for him and I willing to do so for the sake of this country.

Great post!

I certainly feel like I'm spinning my wheels on this site - for real folks, it's preaching to the choir here.

I'm totally doing my word of mouth campaign, not many people I know would admit to changing their vote - but putting doubt into their minds about McCain/Palin is certainly working, (and I'm in Alaska!).

The whole Bible church association isn't playing too well here - lots of Alaskans are Catholic, (history of Jesuit missionaries, not all good).

I pointed out to my dad that Palin and her super-religious ilk hate Catholics as much as they do "liberals" because they feel they don't pray "correctly" - he paused for a long time at that. (He's a Chicago Catholic from the South Side and really an admitted racist). He's told me he's likely to stay home and was reconsidering when Palin got the nomination, the point about evangelicals having so much for disdain towards Catholics seemed to strike home and I think he might stay home on Nov 4th if for no other reason.

We also have a Mormon friend who is totally on the fence - obviously the campaign against Romney (the Mormon) by Huckabee and his Televangelist friends has left a nasty mark. He's a social conservative from head to toe, but good governance of our economy seems to be his highest priority.

My husband and I have been political junkies for years, all our friends and associates know it and we've fielded more than a few phone calls since Sarah got the nomination - me thinks all questions about her fitness are good questions!
