Good point, Mickey. That's why I believe Obama has to forget about old strategies like only spending time and money in swing states. This has got to be an all out 50 state strategy. It's not a shoe-in for a Democrat yet. Then once elected, people are going to need to keep his feet to the fire on issues or it will be the same as having elected a Republican.

It is a common tactic...get abortion, gun rights and gay marriage on the ballot and the rightwing fundies show up in droves.

But it wasn't the ONLY thing that won George Cunt the second term.

It was election manipulation, starting with the fact that the CEO of Diebold, a contributor to the Bush campaign and to the republican party, also ran the company that manufactured the voting machines..and in turn the Republican supreme court decided that Diebolds source code was nobody's damn business, shut up.

It also didn't hurt that they made sure there were insufficent numbers of these unreliable machines in democratic precincts like around universities and in black neighborhoods, and a glut of them in conservative districts.

Every little bit of cheating got him enough votes over the top to continue the national rape.

Obama has to not only win, but win BEYOND the "fraud margin"...in otherwords, he has to landslide to claim victory.
