Final push ideas - please help

Many of you know I voluntarily stopped posting at another site due to the utter confusion, conflicting opinions and a deep respect for the blog owner. I'm not mentioning the name in order to avoid the noid, search engine bots.
So, I plan on going back the week before the election and I want help building the arguments needed to sway a few hundred fence sitters. I think that the majority of the strong posters like ed.... are just doing the robotic democratic duty. I also know that each one of us activists can influence many others off the blogs. Friends, family co-workers.
That few hundred who read her blog can translate into thousands. And there are other similar blogs that others of you know and can do the same.
Let's use this forum thread to catalog comments which demonstrate that a blogger is simply doing their dem duty but if they were independant and had to choose between the better of two evils they perhaps would choose the evil they know over the questionable one.
I really plan to be a Partisan beginning on or about October 28.







I think we need to narrow the field. Check out Bill Dupray at: http://patriotroom.com/
Dupray says a private firm did polls in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Missouri. He thinks that McCain will definitely win FL, OH, NC, MO and NV and New Mexico. Colorado and New Hampshire were absolute dead heats.
Maybe we need to concentrate on Colordo and New Hampshire. We need to write to the papers in those states and maybe do some calling there.
Look, To be honest I am not so sure there are fence sitters at this late stage.
True and loyal Hillary supporters now claiming to be fencesitters IMHO were never really true supporters, they are just democrats and vote democrat and are not willing to come out publically in support of Obama, EVEN though they fully well plan to vote for him. In other words they have drunk the koolaid and now have forgotten exactly how Obama and the DNC rigged this election and destroyed Hillarys chance to run. Those who want to reward that and who have no problems with supporting a party that cheats and is sexist then I do not know how they can claim to be a Democrat, because Democratic ethos are opposite of what we have seen this election. So If Obama wins that's it folks. Because Hillarys future within the party will be well and truly over. Remember I said it here!

Good idea Hamp. I'll look forward to reading your comments on this.

Thanks PumaIrishBrigade! I haven't visited 'the corner' for a week or so. There's a certain poster there that I feel is contentious and disrupts every thread.
I'm a wee bit Irish so save room for me at your place - hee!
First says she/he will waste a vote on McKinney and the second who is one of our members, wants Hillary in 2012 but can't vote for either man now. Not voting or voting for McKinney is a vote for Obama in my book. Our job in a week or so, will be to hit these people hard on not wasting their vote if the truly want Hillary in 2012.

Cynthia McKinney. She has not only more national experience than Obama, she actually does her job when she has it. She is the Green Party candidate. There are a lot of Hillary supporters voting for her. Poor woman may wake up and find that all the protest votes ended up electing her President. Heh.

I can handle McKinney. I think voting for her does a great deal and it's not a vote for either Obama or McCain -- two men I profoundly feel are wrong for the country.
This time, all I can do is to do what I feel is right for the country.
Neither Obama nor McCain are right for the country at this time.
Hillary Clinton forever!
Stop the drama, DUMP OBAMA!!!
The DNC should be ASHAMED.

Thanks, and agree. Also, divided government is not a bad thing. I'm with you that it's been extremely contentious at my house politically ... and for the first time ever! I really resent that about Obama. He's divided the Dem Party, friendships, and marriages. Hubby early-voted on Tuesday, so that made a huge difference in the home atmosphere in that my anti-Obama window is now closed. He actually wrote-in Hillary, so I was just plain relieved that he did not give Obama his vote. Guess all the disagreement was worth it. I'll be casting my protest vote for McCain/Palin today.
I was without computer last night therefore in deep depression. ;- ) I finally realized the depression is from the divide I have from family and friends. I thought it was because I'm voting gop for the first time in my life. But no. I'm proud that I own my vote and I'm proud to be voting For John McCain.

Sway: The Irresistable Pull of Irrational Behavior"
If there is no dissenting view in the media, we as a nation (group) will make bad decisions! Even if the dissenter is incorrect. From one reader's review:
Surely we can do something with this - what do we do with this information? Support Nader?
That's my loophole - I'm voting for the candidate who is more Democratic in my mind (McCain.) Bambi doesn't care for the first amendment.
That's a great point, catfish.
An open letter to the pro-Hillarysphere, posted throughout the PUMAsphere? Swarming newsblogs? I'm game for most anything.

I want to somehow put their own words back to them and show them why they can't support Obama. It has to be about Obama. John McCain fills the same default roll Obama played in the primary, Anyone but Clinton.

And yes. It will be fun to see all the horrible nasty things the bloggers will say about Obama over the next 4 years.

I want to say "why enable them to have what they want. Vote your conscience not your party".
