In Which I Prostrate Myself Before You And Beg Part 2
— Pixy Misa

This is it. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is all that stands between us and a second Obama term.

I stopped by my local victory center last night to pick up literature. The place was packed with people making calls. At this point in 2008 the place was empty. People do not show up to volunteer if they think a candidate is going to lose. Our victory centers are packed.

It is not too late to help the Romney campaign. Actually, this is the best time to get out and volunteer. This is when the election will be won or lost. This is when the undecided or lazy voters are making their final decisions. People like you and I would get naked and run ass backwards through a cornfield to vote for Mitt Romney. It's the sometimes voters that we need to turn out.

Don't like talking to other meat puppets? Then do a literature drop. Simply stop by your local victory center which you can find here.

You don't even have to call ahead of time. Just show up. They're normally open from 9am to 9pm. Ask them for some literature. Then walk around your neighborhood and stick them in between the flag and the mailbox. Don't put them in the mailbox as that is illegal. Anything helps. Just do your neighborhood if that's all you're willing to do.

If you don't have a problem interacting with people, then knock on their door when you do the lit drop. Introduce yourself. Tell them why you are voting for Mitt Romney and explain to them why they should vote for Mitt Romney. Remember, don't be insulting, condescending or a dick. Most people aren't like you and I. They don't hate Obama, but they're open to voting against them.

It helps to pretend you're Sherlock Holmes when walking up to their house. Use whatever information you can glean from looking at their house, car, etc to help you formulate an argument that might sway them. If they have a massive SUV in their drive, then talk about gas prices under Obama. If they have a large house, then talk about the rising costs of utilities. If they have toys in their front yard, then talk about the national debt our children will be left paying off. If their car has a my kid is an honor student bumper sticker, then talk about the rising cost of college education.

Don't read off a script. Treat each person you talk to differently. Try your best to tailor your argument to the concerns of the person you are speaking with.

You can also make calls at the victory centers. Just show up. Tell them you want to make calls and they'll set you up with a phone. If you don't want to leave your home, but you are willing to make calls then do it from home. Find out how here.

It is not enough to vote and donate in this election. You have to do something. It is close. Romney is either slightly up, tied, or slightly down in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. If you live in one of those states you have no excuse to be sitting on your duff this weekend. Your time is the most valuable asset you can offer for the campaign.

If you are in any of those state and can volunteer to poll watch, then please click the link in the sidebar and volunteer to poll watch. This is especially true if you are in a large county. If you are not in a swing state, they may not call you back. All of their efforts are focused on the close races.

They need people to watch polls to help prevent fraud. If you live in Cleveland, Las Vegas, Denver, Boulder, etc, then you need to poll watch to help prevent fraud. Those living in Republican leaning counties need to poll watch and work strike list to help turnout the vote.

We're winning with independents, but there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans. We're at a natural disadvantage because we are fewer in number. We have to outwork them if we want to win.

Please, do something to help.

6 So I'm warning everyone. Look for some pull back in Gallup too, probably to R+3 or R+4. There really has been a small shift in Obama's direction this week.

When that happens, the RCP will jump to show Obama in the lead. Don't panic, because the RCP is being dominated by that National Journal O+5 poll.

I'm going to denounce myself as a failure.

Sorry fellow morons. I'm horrible with people, and I live in MO which is +infinity Romney right now so a literature drop doesn't do much help.

Having said that, I threw some money at the campaign a while back. And I've been taking up the warz on twitter and facebook. (Also on a lark I took up the war against CA's genetically modified food labling initiative.)

Good luck to the swing staters.

39 Also, it's up to us to make sure people know as much about the Benghazi thing as possible. I've written nigh-epic length posts about it, and even my wife is sort of confused. If she's confused, imagine people whose spouses aren't obsessing over it.

Yes, there is a new post up about it. Thanks for asking.

But the point is- there's a reason the MFM isn't talking about it, and it's not because it isn't news.

It's also not surprising that the embargo is starting to break- they think (and may be right) that it's too late for it to change anyone's mind. It's up to us to try to make it change people's minds.

40 Well I'm back. Oldsailors Poet recommended some Makers Mark so along with my normal stuff I got a 200 ml (1/2 pint?) bottle of that to try it (I've had it before but it was a long time ago). $9.45 for 1/2 pint.

Between that, and my county GOP telling me I'm not good enough to be in their club because I'm neither a native Hoosier nor a homeowner, I'm probably serving better by coming into work. Except we're closed, and the feds will take half my pay, so maybe I'll just go to the zoo.

Posted by: HeatherRadish™ at November 02, 2012 05:43 AM (ZKzrr)

44 Arguably the most significant aspect of this election cycle is that it will determine for once and for all -- and if things go wrong perhaps forever -- the extent to which the erstwhile GOP "base" has descended into outright lunacy. Only eight years ago Republican voters matched Democrat voters. Well, after four years of having Obama piss all over them and then laugh about it to their faces we'll find out whether Republicans and especially conservatives still orbiting earth or whether they've checked out for good. If the D vs. R split is even Romney wins. It's that simple. End of story. But if the D's again substantially outnumber the R's then Obama might very well pull this off, and it would mean ipso facto that substantial numbers of conservatives and conservative poseurs stayed home and didn't vote. In that latter event it would mean, also ipso facto, for all practical purposes that it's all over for the country and not only for our futures but especially for our kids' futures and their kids too.

Oh and I also got my wife to move from "haha Romney" to "I'm not telling you who I voted for" (a 180 from before with the "I'll be open and honest about my vote.")

I'm counting this as switching over to Romney, because as I've said before she's stubborn and contrarian, so if she were voting Obama she'd be rubbing it in my face.

(She did say if Obama wins she'll laugh on election night but that's more about how vested I am in this. She's a LIV, a very very very Low LIV, so she doesn't see the importance of it.)

I've got Romney sign in my yard and dammit i'm working the polls Tuesday morning. GOP precinct captain came to my house and asked for my help. He said he knows I'm libertarian and that Romney isn't the best fit, but it's the only port in this storm. Didn't say I was throwing my vote away. Or that I was voting for Obama. said he needed my help. So I work for Romney I'll use the tears of progressives to cleanse myself Tuesday night. Figure I'll have 4 years to be a contrarian.

82 I intend to! Going to pick up literature packets to drop around, and now that I finally have my voice back from a week long bout with the head-and-throat-cold-from-Hades, I want to make calls to swing states (PA or IA, probably, since I think wer have OH in the bag).

83 I voted for Paul in the VA primary. I really like Johnson and want to vote for him. But I won't. Because I have a kid.

I've got Romney sign in my yard and dammit i'm working the polls Tuesday morning. GOP precinct captain came to my house and asked for my help. He said he knows I'm libertarian and that Romney isn't the best fit, but it's the only port in this storm. Didn't say I was throwing my vote away. Or that I was voting for Obama. said he needed my help.

So I work for Romney I'll use the tears of progressives to cleanse myself Tuesday night. Figure I'll have 4 years to be a contrarian.

Posted by: DCPensFan at November 02, 2012 09:47 AM (ma/2m)

Wow. That sounds like a really great example of an organized and targeted GOTV effort by the VA gop. They knew your voting history and tailored the message to you. Makes me confident of our teams's tactics.

85 I've been anxious for 4 years under Obama (more if you count before he was actually elected).

So I'll be darned if I am going to add insult to injury and let these polls, Rass or otherwise, make me anxious and start hand-wringing now. Just wastes time and energy for nothing.

Volunteer, donate if ya can, and get out and vote. Those are the best things we can do.

Posted by: Billy Bob, pseudo intellectual at November 02, 2012 09:38 AM (wR+pz) Last minute reminder on what total f*ck ups Libs are when it comes to crisis management. --- Bingo, but that also includes showing how some of the day-to-day stupidity is hurting them. The way things are degenerating in the Five Boroughs and Joisey should be showing them how fragile their way of life is and how incompetent some people are at getting things back on track. The refusal of Joisey to suspend the "price-gouging" laws has resulted in gas lines to rival those of the Carter era. The refusal of union crews in Joisey to allow non-union crews to help out will keep people in the dark for longer than necessary. Bloomberg's "no cups over 16oz" rules are probably not making people happy right now if they're standing in lines for hours to get food and drinks. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Then, to become a member they insisted that you take a loyalty oath. That under no circumstances would you vote for anyone but a Republican. And they pushed hard, like over the top, for you to join other organizations like Shriners/Masons/etc. I went to two meetings and never went back.

98 Very heartened this past Saturday when a young woman came up the walk to the front door (not for that reason, pervs!). This was an 20 year old going door to door and asking people to vote Romney. I congratulated her on her good sense. Also made me wonder a little about the organization as I went through my neighborhood already, but hey more is better. Also, lots of folks I knew were home didn't answer the door because they thought she was selling magazines or wrapping paper for her high school team. Young Republicans! Yea, baby!

Doing the math so you don't have to, over the last 12 years and ten months we have averaged 20,922 job growth per month.

2000-2012 jobs created 3,222,000

1987-1999 jobs created 30,049,000

137 I am in Ohio, Stark county to be exact. I am going to the victory center today to get literature and I am taking Monday off work to do what I can. I was hoping Rasmussen would have some soothing words for me today but instead he writes some 48% to 48% percent piece that vaguely smelled of despair. The problem with Ohio is that we have more people that vote for a living then people who work for a living. I know many people that voted for Obama in 08 that are not voting for him this time around. I don't think Obama has any NEW voters in Ohio that will vote for him in '12 that did not in '08. The question is, will enough people switch to make up for the 7 point ass-whoopin he gave McCain last election.

If the stories and videos out of the stricken areas start getting very ugly (gas lines, riots, Lord of The Flies-type behavior) this weekend, the blame turns toward those in charge. TFG made only a cursory stop in Jersey w/CC and then right back to the campaign trail. The rest of the country starts looking at the images and decides Obama cares more about his political future than their basic survival, he's done for...There is no downside for Mitt here...
