What would you rather prefer?

By michael - Aug 21st, 2008 at 8:41 am EDT

My title is related to the fact that most people on these blog are running scared because the polls are indicating a downward slide.
This worry is what led to my question above. I asked myself: would I have preferred a situation where the polls are saying that Barack has a comfortable lead only to be disappointed come elections or the current situation where every objective observer is saying that Obama is investing heavily in his ground game?
Not too much into polls, we all know that they are the most unreliable matrix especially when you have more than 2months in the election.
Most of these pollsters are part of the corporate media who want to influence public opinion in a certain way. Let me give a simple example: after debates pollsters collect a group of people and call the a focus group who have not decided. My question to you this: do you believe from what you saw, that these guys were undecided? Similarly, a pollster can chose his sample in a way that will generate an expected result. Let me give you an example: for a particular poll a pollster might decide to poll the majority of democrats from Kentucky or west Virginia. What do you think the democrats in this region will say about Barack?
Also remember, this is the last stand by the HRC supporters, most of whom will want things to look bad as a way of compelling Barack or making a case for Hillary. A good example is Bill Press who even went on air with this.
Barack is in good form. Like he said at the fund raising, "we will win", I firmly believe we would, not because Barack is saying it or the polls but rather the quality of work which is going on at the grassroots level.
Let everyone contribute by donating, canvassing, making call and all the little things that we can all do to ensure(underlined) not expect victory come November.
Please pass this post on if you find it relevant.

Pretend Supporters

By michael - Jul 5th, 2008 at 6:15 am EDT

Guys the pretend supporters are getting very clever.
Don't let anyone deceive you into supporting a candidate blindly.
I read the blogs these days and I get so depressed because some democrats are so self righteous that that they will kill themselves before they even get the opportunity to repent.
I will still maintain that anyone who comes on this blog and raises such concerns is not one of us.
This is common sense: if the repugs and the media are not calling mcsame on his mistakes, why should any Obama supporter be calling their candidate on issues to make him look bad for mcsame.
This is a game democrats. Open your eyes. Obama is not yet the president and if you are a true supporter you will be helping him to win not bringing him down.
It will be a massive disaster if democrats lose this election because they would have been their own enemies.

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS! JUST IGNORE THEM.
