All the polls point in this direction even in the Battleground States! Look I'm not being pessimistic just realistic. I'm also a Team Leader in the Obama Campaign who's been knocking on doors in Pa, Phone Banking my ass off, carrying clipboards in the streets no matter what the weather, burning up my own cellphone minutes and paying for gas when there is no bus to Pa. It's been hell trying to hunt up volunteers to do any of these things over the summer. Why does anyone watching the convention think all the speakers are trying to get you off your butts to volunteer because they know it's going to be damn close.
Oh yeah typing here on DailyKos saying we're gonna kick their asses hoping to get on the rec list is one thing but actually working to kick their asses is another. If anyone here thinks a few good speeches at an exceptional convention is going to win an election 60 days from now I don't know what drugs you are doing!
Tonight President Obama will give the most inspiring speech of the convention but it will amount to a hill of beans if everyone doesn't get out and do their part to win this election. There's a ton of Superpac Money out there that's going to carpet bomb the US after this convention ends. Two weeks from now if you're not knocking on doors or phone banking the whole effect of this convention will mean nothing.
Yeah we're going to kick their asses by knocking on millions of more doors and calling millions in those all important battlegroung states. So put everything else on hold for the next 60 days and kick some ass by getting on a bus or making calls or helping the campaign in any way you can! What is more important than winning this election? Watching New Jersey Housewives, American Idol, Mad Men or maybe hanging at a bar getting drunk for the millionth time!
Let's show President Obama we've really got his back by doing more than typing on a computer to get on the rec list here on DailyKos! We could use your help out here! Where ever you are signup on the OFA website to work the campaign and help out your local candidates while you're at it! In fact just change your life for the next 60 days! Go on a date and instead of dinner get people registered or go on a bus together to knock on doors.
Why? Because it's gonna be a F**** close election!
Okay that's my rant of the day now I'm going to get setup for the 'Watch Party Tonight'!
