OBAMA: "You who are feeling giddy/cocky or think this is all set-I have 2 Words-New Hampshire"
Quote of the Day

"For those of you who are feeling giddy or cocky or think this is all set, I just have two words for you: New Hampshire. I've been in these positions before when we were favored, and the press starts getting carried away and we end up getting spanked."

-- Sen. Barack Obama, quoted by the New York Times.

1. Exactly. Although Chuck Todd explained that Obama got all his votes
in NH as per the poll. The difference was all the undecideds broke for Hillary. At this time, the undecideds are not enough for McCain.

Still, we have to fight hard for this election until the bitter end.

4. Yep and this time it's not the press....
... it's a collection of independant polling agencies.

But we get your point Senator. ;)

12. I love the way that he is honest with the American people
and talks to us, his supporters, as if we are his best friends.
Very down to earth and straight forward ---

:hug: for Obama

6. He's right.
Obama's base needs to be jacked up to maximum firepower right now. Don't let up, not even for a second.

9. I'm SO sick of everyone ignoring
the million pound weeping gorilla in the room. And that includes Senator Obama. The polls WERE NOT WRONG. The situation changed due to what happened the day before we voted. So unless Failin's husband bashes her on national tv, AND the MSM plays it and her weepy eyes on a 24 hour loop, there will not be a reason to worry. :banghead:

10. Two more words: Die-bold. Two more: voter suppression. Two more: dirty tricks.
It's not over 'til it's over.

And with that, I'm heading to the polls here in TN. The evening news showed the line of early voters yesterday in Nashville stretching outside the election office and down the street.

Here's hoping we can take our country back in the next two weeks.

If we never stop fighting, ....

11. I know what he's trying to do, but Hillary crying won her NH.
I agree with his point though.

13. The best attitude to have is: the race is tied and we need
every vote. I think we'll see somewhat lower republican turnout this year because many are lukewarm about their choice,on the other hand,I would hate to see any Democrat stay home because they're confident we've got this sewn up.

17. Does NH hand count the ballots on election day?
If not, then there's no reason to come to any conclusions whatever about how NH supposedly shifted from the earlier polling numbers.

It's the vote counting procedure in NH as elsewhere in the country that will decide the election.

If the landslide is beyond the RM (the "Rigged Margin") set by the vote theft companies, then O wins. If they've figured it accurately and been paid sufficiently for their efforts by Rove or whatever Repub agent handles it this time, McC wins.

22. Most cities/towns have voting machines
Optical scan seems to be the machine of choice, at least in my area of southern NH.
Only the tiny northern towns hand-count paper ballots.
That said, the Secretary of State here (a lifelong Dem., though the position is non-partisan) has been in office for decades and is a stickler for procedure and well respected on both sides. Theft here is not impossible, but highly unlikely.

20. Agree - Its Fox News v. Obama - Obama Is the Underdog
For all the talk about Obama's fundraising prowness, Fox News is essentially a multi-billion dollar 527 ad for John McCain.
