Sorry to post a vanity, but this is a trend that I've been seeing lately that frankly scares me to death. We have GOT to win this one. Please get in touch with your friends and family that support Bush and stress to them the importance of keeping up the fight.

BTTT

Relax. It's over. Kerry just brought Begala and Carville on board. The Clinton's are in total control. Kerry is burnt toast.

Just doanted $100 to the RNC with more to come.

BTTT Agreed. ALWAYS take action as if you are behind. Phone banks, walking your neighborhood registering voters, putting up yard signs, helping in candidates campaing HQs, etc. Get Out the vote. ASK if anyone needs a ride to the polls. Provide stamps so ballots are mailed in on time. Help with a list of recommended judges or other good conservative candidates.

Yup,Keep Working and Destroy Kerry.

we should be fighting like we're 10 points down headed into the final stretch.

That's a fact!

Oh great, today's "we need to work hard" vanity thread.

I haven't seen this posted thirty times already in tha last three days.

The horse is dead. Stop beating it.

Excellent post.

Hosted a party here at home for our local choral society and met a member's wife who said she was undecided. After an initial eye roll (couldn't help myself), I asked her how that could be when the candidates are so very different. She explained that she did not like Kerry, but that as a public school principal (AH-HA!), she did not like what Bush had done to public education.

Rather than argue with her on her turf, where she was likely to have an entrenched position, I explained that for me, a mother of two young children, it came down to a singe issue: who can best deal with the threat of terrorism. I noted that if I truly thought Kerry/Edwards would be better in the war on terror, I would be willing to put up with a lot of social policies that I wouldn't otherwise stand for, if only to ensure national security. I just made clear that there really is only one issue this election.

I don't know if it was persuasive, and I didn't want to go overboard, but at least I made this card-carrying NEA member think . . .

What makes you think we're over-confident? :)

There were a lot of similar posts back in 2000 and it was way too close for comfort in the end. You are exactly right.

Whether it's just talking to friends and trying to influence them with good conversation over a beer or getting involved in your local GOP to help with the "get out the vote" effort, we should be fighting like we're 10 points down headed into the final stretch. I've set myself a goal of influencing 1 person a week, which is a very difficult task due to the polarization of this race, but I have been succeeding as often as not. I urge others to do the same. Every voter we get to the voting booth is another chance at winning.

I agree with you 100%!! -

This race is so far from over - The media are just starting up - I have seen 2 news stories run on the Networks this weekend talking about the "struggling economy" and how a possible "recession" could return??? (The media is playing Kerry's "economic bogey-man" for him) -

Each of us needs to be doing all we can - Talking with people (not trying to WIN arguments...but trying to reach people and let them understand what GWB stands for and how important it is for them to think about voting GWB and then getting out there and doing it on election day) -

This race is going to be close -

I don't think we have to worry about Bush supporters not showing up to vote. There is too much at stake in this election for even the laziest of supporters to not vote.

More importantly, the importance of this vote has to be impressed on the swing voters. That effort cannot stop.
