First of all I want to recommend that anybody supporting Obama in a contested state get out there and go door to door for him. It’s just one day of one weekend of your time. You’ve probably spent the equivalent of 3-4 weekends of your life complaining about Bush.
It just does not make sense not to take action with the stakes so high.
Second, at least in Bristol PA where I was, there are plenty who support Obama, but few willing to volunteer for him. Thus, they ship New Yorkers in on the weekends. If you’re in a contested state PLEASE get out there and start canvassing. You’re a precious resource.
Third, and unfortunately, it is beyond doubt that there is a weird racial component to some people on the fence. I spent about twenty minutes talking with a woman, who said she was undecided, about her views.
I swear to you after she went on and on every single stance she had was in congruence with Obama.
Indeed, she gave a two minutes analysis of her frustration with the Iraq war that could have been Obama’s own words on the campaign trail.
And yet, she is undecided.
She was a Hillary supporter.
Given the almost identical stances of Obama and Clinton on the issues, this is a voter deterred by something entirely irrational: racism.
There’s more to say about this, but former Hillary voters for the love of God talk to your still unconvinced brethren.
To have a country continue down the path to self-destruction because people can’t get over race will be the saddest of the sad.
Obama/formerHillary supporters – talk to your brethren!
