Poll question: Are you waiting for a 'magic bullet'?
Something, a speech, an ad, a counterattack, a soundbite, an event -- something, anything that will change everything, tilt the polls decisively in our favor, and assure a Kerry victory?

6. I dreamt deer were eating the apples off my trees.
But I just planted them this year, it will be a few seasons before they produce fruit. Perhaps I'm clairvoyant?

11. The magic Bullet
I think it will happen in the debates. There will be a moment that will show a literate world Leader facing off against a Lazy Frat Boy Chimp. That image will stay with the voters. That will crack the veneer and show the Fascist Thugs for what they are. The real Republicans will not be able to vote for The Idiot Bush and his Rabid Radical Right handlers in November. We have to be aware that they will not be Happy and will do everything in their power to thwart the will of the American people again. What do you think they will do to TRY to stay in control? I believe a Massive "TERROR ATTACK" is in store for US. We can not allow the terrorists (BUSH/Cheney) to benefit from these tactics.

15. i would agree with you last week. but with edward's recent
"bush can't win against terrorism" drive, i think that an oct. or nov. surprise will work against bushco now. it will just prove us right.

8. I'm not waiting, but I'm hoping :)
It sure would be easier if we didn't have to fight, but we do.

I'lll always hope for sanity, but I'm always preparing for madness.

19. WE'RE NOT LOSING!!!! SLAP YOURSELVES AND WAKE UP!!!!
We are only halfway to the election. Kerry was leading during his convention, Bush is leading only slightly during his.

Get over it.

20. my fantasy
that I hope isn't just a fantasy is that on election night, there will be massive shock and awe as Kerry wins in a landslide. CNN et al will start by trying to spin it for the shrub--"There are still polls open..." etc but it will grow ever-increasingly obvious that * tanks big time.!!!
