so, we didn't shut it down last night. I am at peace with that. I am even ok that OH came out so wrong. why? well, partly because I spent 2 weekends trudging around columbus, and don't feel like I could have done much more. but, mostly because we are still ahead in the delegate count, and I believe that lead will expand w/ victories in WY and M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I shortly. Now, don't get me wrong, PA will be a fight, but I have already recruited my 4 year old niece and she is kind of a super powerful secret weapon.as to yesterday's results, I think a few factors came into play:
1) the fear factor in full effect i.e. the 3am phone ad had its desired result. I mean, who wants a muslim terrorist that wears funny clothes answering the phone at that hour?
2) some morons believed that this thing was tied up. I think there were a fair number of people who figgered that barack didn't need their vote yesterday, whereas hillary supporters knew they had to get their asses out to the polls.
3) this NAFTA canadian story. this was clearly a rare f@ckup on the part of the Obama campaign- people need to be fired and we need to move on.
4) the new media scrutiny/hillary sympathy, I am hoping this is just a phase b/c voting for a candidate you feel sorry for is pathetic.
so, we roll on, and as bummed as I was last night I know that this thing can and will be shut down sooner or later. let's just roll up our sleeves and get out there, and if you hate the results get off your ass and do something about it.
