What a delicious irony that that very experience likely will power Obama to victory over the out-of-touch Republicans.

The Gators’ landslide included quarterback Tim Tebow’s school record-breaking 37th career touchdown run and three interceptions of future NFL top draft pick Matthew Stafford. Florida held a 49-3 fourth-quarter lead in an unmistakable landslide victory.

Now it’s Barack’s turn. He’s making an aggressive push in Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina and other traditional GOP states in his pursuit of electoral votes. Obama doesn’t just want to win — he wants to secure a mandate. And we’re not talking about the “mandate” W claimed in 2000 when the Supreme Court handed him a victory in an election Al Gore won at the polls.

Yesterday I canvassed for Obama, speaking with dozens of undecided voters. (The majority said they will be voting for Obama.) Today I’ll be making calls to more undecided voters.

What can you do to help Obama to victory Tuesday?
