Polls are going to start closing soon

So now is your last chance to Get Out the Vote.

Drop everything, run - don't walk - to your polling station and Vote Obama.

Our nation, as we've already mentioned, depends on it.

VOTE OBAMA

Another Reminder: VOTE OBAMA!

This is a note to anyone and everyone that hasn’t voted yet.

Regardless of what you hear, you should still vote.

If you hear Obama is up 20 points… you should still vote.

If you hear McCain is down 20 points… you should still vote.

Ignore the exit polls when they start coming at you faster than a Billy Mays infomercial…

Ignore the pundits on TV, radio and ‘the tubes’…

Vote… regardless of what hear.

Our nation depends on it.

VOTE OBAMA

Late night funny

David Letterman, from last night's show: “Today Barack Obama campaigned in Florida and Virginia. And McCain campaigned in two states: panic and desperation.”

Nice.

And if you haven’t already; VOTE OBAMA VOTE OBAMA VOTE OBAMA

TBWA favorite Jack Cafferty of CNN posted an interesting question yesterday: ‘How long they'd be willing to wait in line to vote?’

Here are some of the best, taken directly from the Jack’s blog, misspellings included…

“My whole day is devoted to this one moment in history, i never want to look back and regret that i was not involved in one of the most important moments in United States history.”

“Considering that there are some that wait ....and sometimes fight a lifetime for the opportunity to vote, I will wait happily for as long as it takes to vote for my chosen candidate. I urge everyone to do the same!”

“You take your pick: A few hours, or a few years. I’ll be voting tomorrow. Guaranteed.”

“I’ve already waited 8 years. One day is nothing.”

“Even though I’m 9 and 1/2 months pregnant and Obama will win California with or without my vote, I’ll wait in line as long as it takes. This election is too important to miss, and I don’t care how long and uncomfortable the wait is - I’m voting. It would be a lot more uncomfortable for me to sit by for the next four years knowing that I let my voice go unheard.”

“I think if the veterns can do 3 one year tours of duty in Iraq, I can wait on line 24 hours if it will help get them home.”

“I am prepared and willing to wait all day. I have cleared my calendar to make sure I can spend the whole day. And the time I don’t spend waiting or voting, I will spend poll watching and holding signs. This is far too important not to make a personal sacrifice to make sure my vote counts. And, as an Army wife, one day of work loss is meaningless compared to the days my husband has and will spend on deployment. To all within the sound of your voice: Get out and vote!”

“As long as it takes. I am 84, if I can do it, just about anyone can.”

“I plan on going early and staying late if I have too. Every vote counts. This is the most important election of my life. And Obama is my vote.”

“Jack, I’m in my 50’s and I have voted in every presidential election since Carter and Ford. Too often at least to me the choice was a matter of picking the lesser of evils and more often than not, at least to me, the more evil candidate came out on top. I have waited a lifetime to vote for a candidate that truly reflects my values and ideals. A candidate that offers defined solutions and not hollow rhetoric, to the problems that have plagued this nation for a long time. A candidate that asks each us of to have faith in the dream that it is America and in our ability to cast aside petty political differences and come together as one nation . A candidate that has inspired millions to get up, get out and excercise the one right we have that defines us as a free people, our right to vote for our representatives and leaders. I’ve waited a long time for this one Jack, I will wait as long as needed to vote for Barack Obama.”

“I would wait till hell freezes over if that is what it takes. This election is too important to concern myself with personal discomforts or inconvenences.”

“Jack after what I witnessed in GA, I’d wait in line a week! An elderly African American woman fell out in line waiting to vote, they brought her to and tried to remove her to give her medical attention. Her words exactly were “I’m not leaving this line until I vote”. That’s powerful! That action swayed a couple of voters. I know because they said that moved them.’

Those are just a few of the hundreds and hundreds of comments being left… comments from people who are motivated to vote and make history… What about you? How long are you willing to wait in line to help elect Barack Obama? And what are you doing read a blog? GTFO and VOTE

“And as long as America must choose, that long will there be a need and a place for the Democratic Party. We Democrats can run on our record but we cannot rest on it. We will win if we continue to take the initiative and if we carry the message of hope and action throughout the country. Alexander Smith once said, 'A man doesn't plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity.' Let us continue to plant, and our children shall reap the harvest. That is our destiny as Democrats.”
- Robert F. Kennedy
