1. After seeing OH today in Bowling Green
DAMN!!!!!!!
a very large crowd came out for kerry and had VERY FEW bush protestors(some were just loud and made it seem like a lot) and this is kind of odd in this part of Ohio.

2. why should it be odd?
do people there have jobs or have they lost them in the chimpconomy? Either way there's every reason for them to vote for Kerry.

I'm glad it was a big crowd.

Mom and sister went to see him in Norfolk, VA just prior to his acceptance and some city official said it was the largest crowd they'd seen for a politician since JFK (the first one). And half the city is deployed at the moment!

If he can pull that kind of support in a very conservative place (big retirement area for former Navy), we're on the correct path.

4. I have this 2004 American Politics Almanac
I paid 60 bux for at B&N the other day and was reading that Ohio hasn't really been in Dem controll for over 50 years. Voting trends seem to indicate very few dems in the state anymore. But I think that has changed.

3. After attempting to scare the public with an overplayed terrorism threat
Kerry wins by significant margins.

11. They are screaming "Wolf!" awfully early
But there are just so many things Bush's handlers need to obscure. $44 a barrel gas, $450 billion deficit, Kerry's powerful convention...

You can only wonder what horrors they'll be squawking about just before the election.

5. Can't vote.
I believe Kerry will win in a landslide, but I don't know if those, actually cast, votes will be counted.

6. Bush enters with the advantage of Florida in his pocket.
All calculations that don't assume an absolute lock on Florida are flawed.

7. Another possible scenario -
Kerry in a 62-38 landslide.
Then Diebold and Hart InterCivic employees spend a few hours with the electronic voting machines and voila! It's 51-49 for Bush.
This potential for stealing votes is real and must be our top priority.
Don't forget to write your Senators and Reps to demand a voter verified paper trail.

10. You're right, it ain't over yet... it's only been a few days since
