I agree that we should NOT get too cocky or complacent. My past experience, however, has shown me that half the people the Dems sign up are disqualified and the majority of the remainder who do qualify don't show up to vote. The exception to this rule was in Florida, where the Dems in 2000 registered ALOT of Puerto Ricans in Central Florida and blacks throughout the state, the two demographics that made it so close, IMHO.
Chip? They've been using a sledge hammer for the past 4 years+!
The only option they have left is nucular, and I do believe they done "shot their wad"!
That is indeed true, and a major point. The polls rate as likely voters those who have voted in 3 of the last 4 (or 2 of the last 3) elections. These newly registered Dem voters are therefore not represented in those polls, but are very likely to vote in my view. They belong to groups that have been actively targeted for registration, and the Dem machines keep the infrastructure in place to physically take them to the polls, hold their hand, and make them vote the left way. Or worse, train these novice voters by completing their absentee ballots for them.
Me too. Although personally I have always believed strongly that we will win this election. I just don't like overconfidence by someone in Rove's position being publicly aired. We need to keep the urgency and fight alive. This does not seem like a good idea to me.
