If this is going to be a nailbiter...

...I definitely need to find a way to calm myself down.  I understand that it's possible the ground game is more important than messaging but can't we have both??  I liked this diary over at Kos.

I know, I know.  Armcharimen and all that and I do have confidence in the Obama team.  But I don't see where the messaging being proposed in the diary deviates from the overall Obama message.  I think it drives it home and I really do hope they get the attention of the media team.   It's similar to the primaries where I always envied the skill of the Clinton media team.  On message, tough message, repeat, repeat, repeat...

The convention being in Denver could really turn out to make a big difference.  I like our chances there and in NV, VA and maybe even OH.  KS I am not at all optimistic about and MS has always been a tall order.  GA seems somewhat attainable.

Kos actually did a good job of calming me down earlier with his front page rant on freaking out about one poll and keeping your eyes on the big picture.  And of course, all this is getting ready to change over the next couple of weeks.
