We are DUers. Granted, there are a lot of newbies like myself...

DON'T WORRY what the media is reporting. Stick to the numbers and the facts. We know their game. They don't know what they're talking about yet.

It's already driving some of us up the walls. Watching this, I can see how the freepers can be so out of control and mindless - they believe whatever they're told! Don't YOU let them play with your mind!

1. Wise words.
It's hard to follow them though. Very hard.

3. Stick to the numbers and the facts?
Before the 2000 election we could....but after the exit polls did not match the actual vote in FLA in the 2000 election I worry....and with Ohio and Florida being such important states I am worried those states are being STOLEN right before our very eyes....it is happening...Jeb and Rove are working over time tonight and they have way too much power and contacts and can take this from us again!

6. On Jeb and such...
The numbers can still belie what they're doing. Just watch, and record, and compare, and a bit later it will be time to point out obvious discrepancies.

Realistically there's not much WE can do from our position in space and time.

5. Do seem to be holding back on blue state calls
Keep maps as red as possible for as long as possible. Same thing with Fla counties - count the * heavy counties first.
