If Obama wins early in VA or Fl, create a bandwagon effect instead of depressing the voting. Every vote counts, make the landslide bigger.</p> A larger margin of victory means more overwhelming support for change and a greater repudiation of the Bush/Cheney Junta and the Republicans.

I’d read elsewhere that an apparent landslide for Obama might work against the defeat of Prop 8, but couldn’t see how/why that would work. Now, I get it. Not sure how someone in Colorado can help defeat this measure in CA, but I’ll go find a site at which to donate. Maybe that will help someone get to the polls to vote. Thx.</p> Thanks, TBogg.

Poor form.

Imitating those whose tactics you despise to achieve your own ends–regardless of how well-meaning–is indefensible.
