Optimism and aggressiveness in campaigning
I saw that directly on Saturday during a stop on the train tour.

I don't watch the news, so can't knowledgeably respond to their non-interest or spin. Frankly, after so many years of reading about how they spin shit until it is supposed to smell like fresh rainfall while the tv viewers are watching rainbows on the screen, I can't see how anyone can stomache that.

Kerry is optimistic. He is strong in his beliefs and clear in the direction he will lead this country.

If anyone tells you differently; whines and complains, moans and distorts: tell them this----------

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

(I swear, if I see another thread questioning Kerry, I'll crawl through the internet and strangle you. I am THAT TIRED of the bullshit)

I wanna 65-35 rout and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate....then, the real fun begins.

Analyst Says Bush Needs `Miracle' to Win Re-Election
George W. Bush would need a "miracle" to win the presidential election as the war in Iraq becomes increasingly unpopular, a political analyst told members of the Business Council of Alabama. Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said if the election was held now, Democratic nominee John Kerry "would win very handily." The war is the biggest factor hurting Bush's re-election chances, he said, noting that if the president hadn't ordered the U.S. invasion of Iraq last year, he likely would be leading in 45 states and heading toward a landslide victory. "He really will need a miracle to win, and the last miracle was for Harry S. Truman," Sabato told the Birmingham News after his speech at the council's governmental affairs conference in Point Clear. Truman pulled his upset presidential victory in 1948. Sabato said Bush also must deal with a mediocre economy and a sour mood among voters that sees the economic glass as half empty. Democratic Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, who joined dozens of legislators listening to Sabato's speech, said his national perspective offered an interesting contrast to the view from Alabama, which tends to vote heavily Republican in presidential elections.
