I wasn't aware the primitives, especially the Obamaite primitives, were worrying about anything. Most of what we've heard from the primitives, especially the Obamaite primitives, ever since June or thereabouts, is that the Big Zero has it in the bag, and it's going to be a landslide. And that the Big Zero doesn't even need the votes of half of the Democrat party, to avalanche.

I don't think there's any need at all to worry
. . . about the momentum the media's claiming for McCain/Palin.
Palin's not going to be able to cover for McCain for the rest of the campaign, and any positive effect that's occurred as a result of her newness to the public is all but over. She's busy promoting herself to the right of Newt Gingrich; not where the majority of Americans sit.
What we're entering into now is a traditional comparison of the measure of the two parties; one who has lashed themselves to the mast of Bush's sinking ship; and, the other, fully-loaded and confidently charting the way to the future.
We just need to keep hammering on those differences; reminding voters of where McCain/Palin have enabled and encouraged the rape of our national and state treasuries for their wealthy benefactors and for their own aggrandizement. We need to keep reminding voters of where McCain/Palin ticket have stood in the way of environmental responsibility and conservation in favor of industry and oil interests. We need to keep reminding voters that McCain/Palin have always sided with corporations and industry against the interests and well-being of workers and their jobs.
We need to point out to voters that the lame-duck loser in the White House is flying around the country, as we speak, raising millions to allow McCain/Palin protect and preserve the pernicious planks of his tyranny.
With McCain/Palin cheerleading every issue and initiative of the administration that voters have already decided was fault or folly, the Obama/Biden ticket is solidly positioned to attract the votes of the overwhelming majority of Americans who are clamoring for change. The contrast between the candidates of the past and the choice of the future couldn't be clearer.
It looks like to me the primitives, especially the Obamaite primitives, lied to us.
They are worried.

1. I think we need to be worried, very worried. Obama's slipping in the polls since Palin's nomination has been huge. One poll is meaningless, but taken as a whole polling can be very indicative of what is happening in the election. What's needed is instant rebuttal to every Republican lie and misrepresentation as soon as it occurs. Obama and Biden need to get down and dirty with the Republicans, and show some emotion. The way the voters have bought into the McCain/Palin propaganda has just about made me believe that America doesn't deserve good government.

2. and why isn't the corporate-owned media screaming about voter caging to the rooftops?
And why hasn't the mainstream media been screaming about big-city political machines creating hundreds of thousands of "votes" out of thin air every election since.....1804?
