President Bush's prospects in Florida are looking increasingly shaky.

Barely 80 days before election day, signs abound that Democrats are outperforming Republicans in the state Bush virtually has to win to gain another term in the White House.

Republicans had vowed an unprecedented voter registration program, but Democrats are far outpacing them in registration gains.

Democrats have far more operatives on the ground, thanks largely to well-funded liberal organizations aggressively working to mobilize John Kerry supporters.

Though the Bush-Cheney campaign boasts an unprecedented grass-roots effort, some Republicans are quietly fretting. Not only does Bush look vulnerable in must-win Florida, they say, at the very least he could be forced to divert resources here that may be needed elsewhere.

"Not only is Florida becoming a problem for the campaign but it could make some Southern border states that are usually safely Republican slip into competitive mode in the last two to three weeks of the campaign," said InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery, a former strategist for Newt Gingrich. "If Bush loses Florida, it's lights out.

Turnout, turnout, turnout, turnout, turnout.

Say it loud, say it proud. The battle, and the war, will be won in the trenches.

1. Gawd, this is the good news I was looking for right now.

I'm sick of reading depressing news about that facist slime ball in the white house and his facist slimier brother in Florida.

2. Kerry is cleaning Bush's clock locally.

And all politics is local. Bush's "gated community" events are backfiring, Kerry's events are getting great publicity.

A tide is gathering.

3. Isn't Florida rigged?

It seems impossible to win Floria with the bbv.

8. We can still win FL even if the playing field is tilted towards Team Bush

That will make it even more humiliating for them.

4. The DNC is getting those folks registered!

A great reason to donate time & money to them-Doncha wanna be jussss like Dr Fate??!!!

Time to get out thosecredit cards & check books folks- registration in most of those swing states closes in a few weeks.

5. It's grassroots organizing that is doing it.

ACT has twice as many people working in Florida as Bush and Kerry combined.

The people will reclaim the White House.

6. They are all doing great work....

The DNC is doing plenty of that grass roots organizing too. And cutting the checks for local DEM organizations.

EVERYONE is doing a great job. Donate to who you want, so long as they are registering people, driving them to the polls, etc...

7. Say Goodnight, Dick.

Goodnight Dick.
