What would you prefer: "yes we can"?
Come on, this is a guy who has been spouting the same message for 30 years with little traction until now: odds HAVE been slim. Here's also a guy who has little suport from the MSM. He tells it like it is, BUT has worked harder than any of us for what he...
We actually have a strong campaign / ground org this time versus 2008... all we should do at this time is donate and phone from home - let people who actually can do something on the ground handle GOTV

Did my first 50 calls tonight. First 15 or so I was pretty uncomfortable, but slowly became used to it. It took me about 30 calls of no answer/no thanks until I finally got 1(!) person to agree to answer my questions. Turned out to be a guy strong for Huntsman, but voting (weak) for Romney...
