October 27, 201213 yr Active Members Well, now is the time to reflect on Obama's unnecessary announcement (before the election) and how great everybody thought it was. Personally, I'd much prefer having a few additional percent of the voters in NC and VA at this time. It very well might flip NC blue and cement VA as blue. It's almost always better to take a longer view if one can be afforded. Frankly, I'm pissed. This is another unforced error by the Obama campaign and his supporters.

It was the calculation of someone who thought he had the canonization already locked up, and was just looking to run up the score. Things feel pretty grim in NC right now. Getting not only robocalls but almost-daily live calls from local Obama workers urging us to vote early.

One should never count his chickens before they have hatched. Many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. I could go on but the groans are turning into howels. Things feel pretty grim in NC right now. Getting not only robocalls but almost-daily live calls from local Obama workers urging us to vote early. I agree, you Tarheels should vote early and often.
October 27, 201213 yr howels. Thought that was the other candidate! I agree, you Tarheels should vote early and often. I fully intend to. Giving my dead relatives a ride to the polls as well. Things are now so desperate that a few minutes ago a live person (!) appeared at the door with an Obama leaflet and a detailed list of nearby early-voting places, dates and hours.
