Three things the Obamedia will do to depress Republican turnout and help Obama

This is really intended for Republicans who did not follow the primaries on the Democrats' side this year (because, well, we guess you took a nice long Atlantis cruise to Mars, in which case, color us jealous).

The same pattern that unfolded during our primaries is happening again, because the media has just one tattered old used playbook (written by David Axelrod, of course), and they have not deviated from it yet. What the media and Obama campaign did, in concert, to Hillary Clinton before every major primary is what they are doing to McCain/Palin now. Here are the top three media/Obama head tricks to watch out for in the last days before the election.

If you, collectively, can keep Republicans and other McCain voters from falling for these, we believe there's nothing Obama can do to win this election. The ONLY way McCain loses is if you Eeyores allow the media to keep you from the polls.
Head Games Coming Your Way:

(1) Calls for McCain to just give up and quit, because the race is over. This one is a favorite of the trolls who lurk on pro-McCain sites. We get them here, despite all the spraying and fumigating we do, but notice how we ignore these trolls. We've identified two paid Obama staffers who have been assigned to HillBuzz. We picked them up around the same time people from Ace and LGF started picking up some of our stuff -- so our guess is they were assigned to us by whoever was monitoring those sites. They're different trolls than the ones assigned to us during the primaries (we only had one back then, so evidently we've gotten more on the radar now). One of them starts posting "her" concern troll remarks here at 8am. The other one starts "his" remarks around 5pm or so. It appears there are two shifts for the trolls -- and from what we can see, they share the same computer and IP address. And it's an address right here in Chicago. Imagine that. We wonder if we've ever run into these people at Houlihan's on Michigan Avenue after one of their shifts, as that's where a lot of Obama staffers like to go for a drink, and where we often hang out to see what we can overhear while pretending to read a book over a little dinner. Since we're going to be in Ohio the rest of the time before the election, we're okay with letting you in on that little bit, as we won't be able to eavesdrop on you anymore. But the information these Obama staffers inadvertantly provided was really helpful on a lot of things. A great way to see how the race was going was to listen for how "audacious" these people felt that day. That's their internal lingo: "Are you feelin' it? Are you feelin' audacious today?". "Nope, not feelin' the audacity today, 'cause we know those PA polls are bogus and BO's not gonna take the state". Word to the wise: these staffers were never as "audacious" as the media and skewed polls have insisted they should be.

It's so funny, but when you work on these campaigns every day and give up all of your free time and all other activities for this, you just know when the media's lying and reading from an Axelrod script. The coerographed calls for Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race before New Hampshire, before Super Tuesday, before Ohio and Texas, before Pennsylvania, before West Virgina, before Kentucky, before Indiana, and before South Dakota were completely ridiculous to us -- and yet, Eeyores always listened, and lost enthusiasm and drive because 'the TV said Hillary needs to just quit". We know this kept some Eeyores from going out to vote, because they thought, "Why bother? The TV told me she's gonna lose!". Well, the TV lies. And the toaster says you're fat. Unfortunately, the toaster's telling the truth. The microwave tells you to set fires - and that just means you're nuts, because why would it do that?
