This explains so much about why the election was close. For the past 10 weekends my team and I have been canvassing in PA, 6 or 7 hours a day, rain or shine, walking door to door, talking to voters, registering new voters, helping people fill out applications for absentee ballots, making sure people in retirement homes had rides to the polling place and understood the Photo ID law, identifying swing and undecided voters, and then 4 straight days of GOTV on foot in frigid cold, sometimes with a flashlight after dark, and then in the evenings on the phone banks ... and yeah, despite a week's onslaught of Rombot robocalls and TV and radio ads and the Bot himself and Li'l Bot both running rallies at the end there, we delivered PA for Obama.

But if I had only known! All we needed to do was sit at home and eat chips and drink schnapps and POST LINKS on FB. Damn, that would have been so much easier.

We are really dumb. :-(
