What the MSM/Drivebys are ignoring: a major GOTV effort exceeding the 2004 drive. It will stun them come Tuesday! CHEERS!

I am in Minnesota, and I have seen the ads, but mostly hear them on the radio.

They're targeting voters under the radar. You won't hear about it on the national newscasts. The MSM/Drivebys say the election is over so they shrug away news of a massive GOTV ground operation.

I SO look forward to watching all their faces Tuesday night! It’s gonna be a joy to me, watching the spectacle of all the pundits trying to explain what they see happening right before their beady little eyes....a JOY!

Like a lot of folks, I’ve been biding my time, waiting patiently for MY time to roar! It’s almost here!

VOTE!

That might be the best strategy in some states. I hope it works. Full court press hasn’t worked here so far.

Really, it conjures up the absolutely negative reverse of
Joe the Plumber, and since you can’t think of one without the other, you have to remember the origional in it’s positive context.

Somebody is a magnificent B*stard~!

Hasn’t worked where?

Someone on FR posted last night about the Repubs GOTV database that was build by Rove in 2000 and was improved in 2004 and 2008.

The poster pointed out the Democrats answer is the thugs in ACORN.

I just meant in some states an under-the-radar approach might work better.

They did in 2004 as well.
We hardly heard much about it even after the election in 2004 and the media KNEW why they (Kerry) lost.

McCain is cutting back the GOTV operation and shifting the money to TV ads.

OTOH, the current RCP electoral map shows PA as only "leaning" blue.

The real meat of this story is in the last paragraph. The assumptions made about voter turn out rely on 80%+ of democrats voting for Obama. I would say that is true of “vocal” democrats. What they are not picking up is Union Members, PUMAS and Moderate Democrats who can’t say publicly that they are against Obama.

If 40% of the Democrating Party is moderate and falls into these categories (and I think that is a low number), and 1 out of four of them decide not to vote or better yet, to vote for McCain, then Democratic loyalty drops 10% over all to just over 70%. That 10% is enough to swing the election and at this point, what this subgroup does is a mystery to everyone because nobody’s reporting on it.

That being said, as a moderate Democrat I see a lot of annecdotal evidence that suggests we are not too happy about our party being hijacked by Marxists. We shall see how this screw turns.

Addendum: According to the current map, McCain needs to run the board on every single tossup state, pick up both PA and OH, and then get one more electoral vote somewhere.
