What we supporters need to do to win this election.
1). Stop looking at the polls. First, most polls are a "national snapshot". We vote by state, not as a nation and electoral delegates are awarded accordingly.

2). Educate yourself as to the Obama positions on issues. Be prepared to respectfully supportt his positions in average day-to-day converstation. Be gracious and keen to the audience- we want to win folks over, not win an argument.

3). Donate cash and your time-volunteer! I live in an unlikely state: South Carolina. We have to work like mules to get out the vote and give Obama a surprise victory in SC. If we fall short, we have to work to get out every vote for everyone we get to the poll, they have to expend time, energy and cash to counter us. We may lose the state but they will pay dearly to win it.

4). Start talking about issues and stop talking about Palin. Don't allow them to dictate the agenda. When the election is about the issues, the country agrees with us.
