Wake up DU! This is a big day for Kerry.
He's got two very big endorsements.

The Jersey Girls, or the now famous 9/11 widows who fought for the 9/11 commission have endorsed Kerry and will speak on his behalf.

Thousands of National Guard families have endorsed Kerry while blasting bush for his lies and this War in Iraq! They are planning to hold a rally today.

To add even more to the pot, Pickles is out trying to defend AWOL, making the story look even more legit.
The war in Iraq coverage is starting to hit the news again and generals are speaking out against the miserable tactics.

I'm a little stunned that CNN is reporting more useful news than DU.

1. Kerry knows war has a human cost
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 11:43 AM by NewYorkerfromMass
The flag wavers choose too often to ignore that fact.

2. Sadly Bush is in Colorado today.
The worst part is John Elway will be introducing him. I heard on the radio. :puke:

11. Elway makes a ton annually from his auto dealerships. He's guarding
his tax cuts. Screw the deficits that future Americans will have to pay for, Elway's kids and grandkids will be swimming in dough.

That's what being a Republican is all about.

5. How often did Elway suffer head injuries while playing football?
:shrug: Is this proof that * supporters are brain damaged? Looks like it to me :crazy:

7. We will win Colorado
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 11:53 AM by NewYorkerfromMass
I just read that Republicans have a 185,000-vote advantage there, but it does not show in the polls. Bush won in 2000 with about 884,000 votes, by a margin of 145,000 (8% over Gore, and Nader got 90,000 votes!) We will make up that difference easily in new registrants and disaffecteds.
Coloradans are not buying Bush's BS and the smears on Kerry.

12. Colorado can split its electoral votes, correct?
I'm not sure what the parameters are for that, but we might not get the whole prize.

9. That's a good question
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 12:04 PM by TheDonkey
but CNN just said they would be holding the rally today. I can't find exact times or places on JK's website. So I'm guessing the endorsements have not been officially made.

10. Both of those groups joining Kerry should make any American
paying attention stand up and take notice. They are the ones that have been most deeply effected by the failures of this adminstration.

15. It's so obvious that whenever Laura is used, the Bushies
have become nervous, I like it when she comes out, she is clearly one unhappy camper these days and it is bound to show through sooner or later to even the staunchest of supporters....
