Perhaps the biggest danger to Republicans in the wake of all these bad polls is that their volunteer base, so critical to victory in 2004, won't put their heart in their work.

Yup. I'm a party insider. In my neck of the woods, we are begging for volunteers and are at 10% to 20% of our goals.

Folks, I don't care how crabby you feel about the R's. I'm crabby about them too. But it's gonna be ugly if we don't get a lot more volunteers than we have now. And, it'll be even uglier after election day--how does Speaker Nancy Pelosi, third in line for the presidency sound to you? I think it sucks.

PLEASE CALL AND VOLUNTEER, TODAY. Walk a precinct. Make phone calls. If possible, take the monday before the election and election day off work.

Our GOTV effort is good for an additional 3-4% for R candidates. That will be the margin in close races. But it all falls apart without volunteers.
