AGI - Rome, 28 Oct - ''Our nightmare is that in the end the huge consensus that Obama has gained will not transform into votes''. In an interview with DNews a few days before the US presidential elections, David Axelrod, strategist in Barack Obama's campaign said he feared a comeback by Republican McCain. '

That’s because he is the most radical lousy candidate EVER!

[padre35]

Exactly, I try not to gloat, it is bad form, but after all of the B$ from the Obamao Campaign, I want to see how they do once the battle begins, once the heat is turned up.

McCain, much to my surprise, has earned some respect from me, after all just 3 days ago the Vichy Repubs were throwing the first handfuls of dirt on McPalin’s coffin and saying he should just give up.

DoughtyOne Strategist: I fear an Obama driven theft of the election via ACORN et al.

[Red Steel]

Easy. We're a week out. The Obama campaign is now shifting from "drive the Republicans to dispair with phony evidence of inevitability" mode to "zap the base with a cattle prod to get them to the polls" mode.

But Axelrod was speaking to the foreign press here... a funny way to warn his "base". LoL!

[Pinkbell]

It’s funny how he changed his tune. Just a few days ago he said they were confident of victory by getting the states Kerry won, the swing states, and possibly some Republican states.

AGI/Rome is the source? Redouble our efforts to get out the vote. Don't fall into the complacency trap.

But Axelrod was speaking to the foreign press here... a funny way to warn his "base". LoL!

Point taken. But if he's willing to say this to a foreign reporter, I suspect he'll be saying it here in a day or two.

[fortheDeclaration]

but I think it's going to be a McCain/Palin landslide. I think Americans are ready to put this Obama-nightmare to rest.

I agree, I think with the combination of over sampling of Democrats, the high turnout of Republicans, PUMA voters, Reagan Democrats and the Independents breaking to McCain it will be another 1994 night for the MSM.

[hsrazorback1]

Too bad the MSM doesn’t pick up on HUSSEIN’S dollars-per-vote ratio. In terms of fiscal responsibility, this is quite telling.

[wardaddy]

Down to his very DNA commie Axlerod is trying to motivate his leftist base.

We’re motivated too Davey Schmavey...

not by Mac, but bless him just the same

but by a cute little gal in heels and pencil skirts and an up-doo

and a fear of that monster you’ve created that could destroy our culture for the near term....the rest of my life at least and arguably set my children to war on these shores

good reasons for me to donate money I don’t have in what was a rainy season year for me and work like hell to get a guy I didn’t support elected

we can argue with him and the moderates later

[CanadianMusherinMI]

yup. the polls show obama way up, they are worried that they wont vote on nov 4, figuring obama has it in the bag. they are trying to whoop up some fear to make sure they get out and vote! they would not do this unless their internals were in the crapper.

[GOP Poet]

Yep. They are just straightening out now, so they seem like they are valid and real. Nope.

[MiddleEarth]

Hopenosis wearing off, I hope?

[SFConservative]

What the heck is with transform and transformational?

Usually it's just BS speak trying to ascribe much greater importance to something than warranted. In a political context it sounds better than revolutionary, but that is what they are trying to convey without using that violent-sounding word. Now in the 0bama case, his agenda is truly transformational. He wants to transform our country into a socialist state, and quickly. When you hear "transformational", run, don't walk, in the opposite direction.

I hope that limb is substantial, ‘cause my wife and myself are out on it with you.

[jakerobins]

Dont call it a comeback!!...McCain’s been here for years....
McCain said knock you OUT!! LOL....

Sorry it was the song that popped into my head after reading the title.....

Here is an email from moveon. They may just be trying to influence the tight senate race but its interesting that they are sending stuff like this out. I think that they are at least a little worried that they will lose.

Dear MoveOn member,
I don't mean to ruin your day, but we can still lose this. Here's how:

Right now, Obama’s up in the polls. The pundits are basically calling the election over. So lots of folks think Obama’s going to win with or without their vote. Many could skip voting altogether—and well-intentioned volunteers could take the weekend off instead of getting those folks out to vote.

In other words, if too many people believe the polls, then the polls will be wrong.

There's one surefire way to prevent this. All of us—yes, all—need to help get out the vote and make sure every Obama supporter knows this race isn't in the bag!

The Obama office in Portland needs more volunteers this week to do just that, and we've set a goal of sending 300 MoveOn members to help out—will you join in?

Thanks for all you do.

Thank you for posting this. If we could defeat the MSM this year, it would be one for the history books.

Thought it would be a little inspiring since you don’t get that from the mainstream media. Only by those radio guys.
