MoveOn - From the Race Card
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 by FuzzHere’s a secret… I subscribe to MoveOn.org’s newsletter so I can see what kind of garbage they are spewing. I received this today.
Dear MoveOn member,
Obama’s now ahead in most polls. That’s great, but there’s just one problem: the polls could be wrong.This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters (emphasis mine)—or what they’ll do in the privacy of the voting booth (emphasis mine). And there are plenty of other unknowns.
We can’t afford to take any chances with the most important election of our lifetimes. Whatever the polls say, we all need to get out, talk to voters, and make sure every single Obama supporter makes it to the polls.
The Obama campaign in West Bend needs more volunteers this week for a big voter-outreach effort. Click here to sign up:
Polls can’t always be trusted, for many reasons. Remember what happened in the New Hampshire primary? Obama was ahead in all the polls—but Hillary Clinton carried the state on election night.
So we can’t afford to get complacent. We don’t know whether polls will translate into votes on Election Day, but we know that our actions can.
Countless studies have shown that the most effective way to ensure that someone makes it out to vote is to reach out and talk to him or her in person. And the Obama campaign has asked us to help out in doing that—can you join in?
Thanks for all you do.
