I've been seeing more grammatical errors lately and have just accepted it as part of a blog growing bigger and busier. But now we're getting duplicate postings? And lately politicians have been identified with the wrong party? What the hell is going on with quality control around here?

I think Gibbs called it right and this should not be played as the "WH downplays Nov. 3 election".

I think the GOP are like day traders: Their horizon is based on the chatter of the day and not longterm results. But next year, or even three years down the line, we will have a vastly different economic situation and the difficulties of the health care process will be forgotten. And legislative and policy victories, if they happen, will paint a very different picture. (health care, climate change, and so forth)

Don't Just Hope! Act!

Virginia Progressives - there's 72 hours until the Commonwealth makes a choice between the 19th century and the 21st century. The only choice you actually have is between Deeds, Wagner & Shannon vs the RWN lineup of the GOP.

Here's how you can help the Deeds campaign, from an e-mail sent today:

Dear Friend:

There are less than 72 hours until the polls open and we cannot let up for one second -- not when there is so much at stake.

We've put together the largest grassroots organization Virginia's ever seen in a Governor's race. Over the next three days, we're aiming to have 5,000 volunteers knock roughly 375,000 doors across the Commonwealth and make over 700,000 GOTV calls.

Together, we can win this thing. But we need your help to get the job done.

Click here to sign up to knock doors, make calls, and get out the vote.

Last year, we made history and bucked a 44-year trend when Virginia's electoral votes finally went to a Democrat in a Presidential election. And if we get our voters to the polls, we can do it again this year.

Your help could make the difference. So please, put your plans aside, donate a few hours of your time, and come out to join our cause. We will surprise the pollsters, the pundits, and the naysayers.

If we work together, if we believe together, we will win on November 3.

Click here to sign up and volunteer to help get out the vote in the final days.

We've worked far too hard to leave anything on the table.

Thanks for everything you do. Now, let's get to work.

P.S. Today is the last day to vote absentee in person. If for any reason you think you will be unable to get to the polls on November 3, click here to find your local registrar and vote absentee.

P.S. From VACommonsense - In Virginia, lawn signs mean nothing. In the Obama campaign if you went by lawn signs, my precinct would have been judged to be solidly Republican.
Actual results: 2 to 1 for Obama!
