Obama in Boise in 2008

If you are having any jitters about Tuesday I recommend this youtube from 2008 in Boise.

First it reminds folks that we have the enthusiasm advantage, even in the reddest of states.

There is no Romney enthusiasm, only those that are filled with bitterness and hatred.

The other point is that no one understood why he would go to Idaho. Its because they read the rule book and crunched the numbers that they knew a big win in Idaho was bigger than a small victory in 2-3 big states, because of proportionate distribution.

Those same people that figured out that the numbers made sense in Idaho are using the same competence to bring home a big electoral college victory.

We not only have the right candidate, we have the right campaign management. Romney's campaign doesn't just lie about its message, it lies about the numbers that they are looking at.
