Let's win this thing big

OK, so the Cavs won, Lebron looked unstoppable on national TV, and I'm in a good mood, so here we go.
Dear Senator Obama and fellow Obama supporters,
Let's end this on Tuesday. Please. I just watched a bunch of talking heads on the Sunday shows, trying to figure out a way for Hillary to win, by engaging in a level of logical origami so absurd it made my head hurt. And I come to this blog and it's peppered with cut-and-paste screeds from a bunch of panicked sockpuppets spewing out Rovian concoctions so obviously sent to them by campaign hacks at a rate that is only bound to increase if we don't put her away this week.
Make. It. Stop. Let's win Ohio big, win Texas big, and end it. The problem is that Hillary's remaining supporters are simply unable to comprehend that something is going on in this country, and it doesn't involve the Clintons. Not anymore. It's driving them batty. The electorate is moving underneath their feet, they never saw it coming, and they are teetering. The next one to get run over by the O-Train is John McCain, and he won't see it coming either, because he's just as blind to the power of an electorate bent on historic change as the Clintons have been.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Not a sockpuppet.
Hillary leaves trail of stiffed vendors.

Give it up trolls! Your next check may bounce. There are still businesses in Iowa waiting to be paid for chrissakes! Bill's 3 night stay at the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas was a mere $25,000. Ouch! Suites like that really cut into the pizza and doughnut budgets here in Ohio. Oh well.....on to the next state. Those phillycheese steak sandwhiches are damn good. Then again, maybe not.... Please end it tuesday.... Make America proud and respected again! Vote Obama! 2008
Oh, the irony.

...Is rich.
Seriously, could someone explain what the point of all this is? It's OBVIOUSLY spam, so no one other than Hillary supporters are going to read it. The comments never have any relationship to the actual posts. And I would guess 95% of the people who read the comments on local political blogs are savvy enough that they've made up their minds. And the other 5% are savvy enough not to pay attention to cut-and-paste claptrap from HRC "rapid responders." Is this what Hillary is spending her money on?
Ready to astroturf on day one.
BSB there are plenty of legitimate Clinton supporters on this site. Why not delete this crap? It's just unpaid advertising.
Zzzzzzzzzz

The 101st Fighting Cut-N-Paste Chairborne strikes again!
Right on, Tim. Gawd I just want this to be over and done on Tuesday. Just back from canvassing for Obama in Cincinnati, fantastic turnout all weekend! Many thanks to the fantastic people who came down from Chicago just to pitch in. It's easily the most energized, organized campaign I've ever had the pleasure of working with. That legendary Obama ground game is for real, everyone.
Something Is Happening In Ohio. :-)

WE. CAN. DO. THIS.
3 endorsements that nail the crux of Our Message + best video mashup I've seen
EXCERPT: My conclusion is based on several components, but coheres around one theme. Besides what I have experienced as his superior demonstrations of strength, composure, restraint, and reasoning during their last two one-on-one debates, Senator Obama has structured his campaign around what I feel is an irrefutable truth: the United States government will never again function efficiently unless United States citizens force it to do so. His insistence that the U.S. government must serve its citizenry, and his acknowledgment that it will do so only if the citizenry once again holds its government accountable is a statement so simplistic that it is, for some, dismissible. It also happens to be a truism so profound that it might, I have come to hope, be unstoppable.
Hi,
I have been culturejamming, amplifying the historic sudden surge for a month now.

Perspectives on Obama Nation & Progressive Change
EXCELLENT VIEW OF THE ROADMAP AT THIS STAGE ---ARTICLE.
Obama and Progressive Change by DAVE LINDORFF.... ...follows ..after my intro stuff.
as Madison Powers in: The Democratic Party\'s Legitimacy Problem warns of smoke-filled anti-democratic authoritarianism..... What is at stake are values of participatory democracy, voices heard and accounted for,
more people-more answers
procedural transparency, fair, open, all play by same rules and
broad inclusion of voices. partners, all ok, lend a hand -
....messages clearly imparted, embodied in the core of the Obama campaign message content. *******************
ideas give ideology takes
ideas liberate ideology encapsulates
power of ideas vs. the idea of power
reformers have become the Re-Formed
Ironically Clintons spinning full circle, as Tom Hayden writes-They came in on a reform wave.
The Wheel of Time.... Slimed by the culture they now hurl last hurrah, and became 'cast', to block the next wave.
are they letting slip away sub-consciously because they with real eyes, blinking... see their 25-year ago selves in this new wave?
the power of ideas, or is it their choice idea.. is Power?
SPIN OR SPINE?
have you heard of tag clouds of keywords?
well this is a phrase cloud after mulching the article......with some tweaking
encourage participation, transcend divides, igniting wave of passion
stir pot of hope, freed from shackles by populism
speaking about betrayal, win over the disaffected
a force energized less likely to be denied
beholden to regular folk of the movement Not elite special interest an army of advisors of stasis and corporatism
turn the page to cease the undermining and hollowing out of America
arouse empowered bloc of petitioners for the remiss & redress of grievances
transformed by the mutual symbiotic transformative journey
Instincts Over Establishment
action after election day
rhetoric resonated raised reality
Unintended United constituency for real changes
big magic big stake
huge wake low mistakes
don't abandon your base
NO accomodation to Old Guard

I sent my ballot out on Friday via priority mail. My county had a burp in getting the ballots out:

I didn't get my ballot until the 28th! Boo.. So cross your fingers and hope my ballot can get from Oregon to Ohio in time.
Oh, and the article I cited needs a correction. The ballot must arrive on election day.

The Shameful Actions of The Obama Campaign Disenfranchised Over
The Shameful Actions of The Obama Campaign Disenfranchised Over ½ Million Alabama VotersIn a move that resembles the classic "business as usual" Washington, D.C. politics, Senator Obama Campaign disenfranchised over a half-million voters who voted in the Alabama Democrat Primary by throwing out the half-million ballots which selected fifty delegate candidates on Super Tuesday. At the state Democrat Party meeting this past Saturday, the Obama Camp selected all twelve delegates to the convention without a single vote being cased. People went to the polls in record numbers and cased their votes and expected their voices to be heard. The Obama Camp move ignored their voices.How can a candidate, who runs a campaign about empowering voters, take such an action, that disenfranchised so many, and contradict the central principal of his entire campaign? The Obama Camp talks about changing the way Washington dose business, but it is just business as usual for them. Their action just serves as evidence that the Camp Obama has played us all for fools. His campaign is a fake. He is just another Washington politician selling a pipe dream that his own campaign is not even living up too. This is shameful. Shame on the Obama Campaign. You should practice what you preach. In your own words, you should "say what you mean, and mean what you say."
