Obama supporters - It may not be over, here is what we should do...
I've seen a couple of the post by people like Zachstar http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5893274 and Malik Flavors http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5911154 I also read Skinner's take on the situation here---> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5906998&mesg_id=5906998

We have an insurmountable lead, but what is that lead? It is pledged delegates and superdelegates. The superdelegates could theoretically change their mind at any point between now and the convention. Even the pledged delegates do not ALWAYS vote for whom they are pledged. Even when you are running out the clock, you still have to run those last few plays.

Here is what I think we should do:

1. Continue working for the Obama campaign as if this is not over. That means
A. Phone banking
B. Donate to his primary warchest
C. etc., anything you would do if this were still an even race.

2. Reach out to Clinton supporters in a positive way. No gloating and no attacking Hillary.

3. Do not get baited into negative discussions about Obama. I said this in a previous post. Do not get involved in discussions like 'He can't beat McCain" and "He cant get white votes" etc. Dont bother. Put the OPs or commenters on ignore and move on.

Let's finish this thing strong and let's crush McSame. If you agree with me please kick and rec this!

YES WE CAN!!!!!! :grouphug:

2. And one other thing. Touch base with the Obama organization in your state to find out...
... what to do to put yourself in a position to work best for them during the general election. We want to be able to hit the ground running against McCain in a BIG way.
