Watching the pundits today, left me with the impression that the one thing they fear is a conservative base that is fearful and angry. Why? They are highly motivated and will turn to vote for someone, like a prior post stated, that could care less about them just to keep the one they have the most antipathy and fear from getting into the White House.
I say that it is perfectly understandable why one would be angry and scared of an Obama presidency. I say foment these emotions everywhere you go because they are legitimate and maybe they might motivate those to get out an vote who might not otherwise do it.
This is just an another example of the double standard in this campaign but I'm sure all of us remember Obama's statement to supporters "....to argue with them and get in their face." (
