Yes, we're all telling ourselves - a bit too loudly, methinks - that Obama's destined landslide should not be assumed after all, and that we must work our tails off from now until nightfall November 4th just to ensure a simple but solid victory...
...well, to all that, folks, I say hogwash!
At this point, given all we know (and we, the obsessed, know a helluva lot), it's time to set our eyes upon a new goal: go for the MANDATE!!
How could it be wrong: To smash the GOP to bits as never before and to solidify an absolute mandate for an Obama/Biden governance by hitting phonebanks, canvassing neighborhoods, sending in final donations, talking things up with our friends and neighbors and otherwise engaging in ways unheard of to make sure those final hordes of voters pour forth from their homes, crowd up those polling lines and pull those millions of levers/push those millions of buttons for Obama?
Let's not deny the fact that our guys are ahead...no, no that's just a fact. But let's get out there now and work our tails off for our final collective ADIOS to Bush and Cheney and McCain and Palin and Rumsfeld and all their ilk. And let's see to it Obama and Biden are awash in votes and start their new year in office with these words: Americans clearly WANT our healthcare plans, our economic stimulus package, our environmental initiatives, our withdrawal from Iraq, our...on and on and on.
Our motivation now needs not to lie in the fear of losing but in the joy of winning BIG!!!!
