Just before closing down the politics and starting my "work day", I went to look at www.electoral-vote.com.
ICANTBELIEVEIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of changes! Some good, some bad, but LOTS of changes!
Bad:

- Oregon went pink - DAMN.
- Illinois went light blue - SHIT!
- Maryland went WHITE! - Oh NO!!!!!!!
Then again...
- Florida went BLUE!!!!!!!! OHMYGAWD!
- South Carolina went PINK! WEE HAA!
- Georgia went pink OUTLINE - HOLY SHIT!
- MS and LA went PINK! - NEVER EXPECTED THIS!
I just sent an e-mail to all of my friends and family, especially those in states that are now in play. Feel free to borrow and forward...

Okay all youse guys who have been kicking back on the campaign... WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today (Monday, September 27th), according to www.electoral-vote.com, MARYLAND IS IN PLAY!!!! 50-50 for Kerry and BUSH. If you've been sleeping, figuring that the state would be an easy win for Kerry, life has now changed! Time to kick into high gear. And if you're in Massachusetts, try to help New Hampshire and Maine. New Hampshire is a dead heat, and Maine is going to Bush unless we get busy. Even ILLINOIS and CALIFORNIA are not as sure as they were!
Kerry & Bush are going to have to spread themselves thin... and WE will have to do the groundwork.
So if you haven't been active, please give some effort to these next 35 days. Even if just to post a yard sign (www.kerrymart.com) or hang a rally sign in the window, volunteer with the Kerry campaign (www.johnkerry.com/volunteernow), participate in events happening in your state/area (
http://volunteer.johnkerry.com) register voters (
http://www.lwv.org/voter/gotv.cfm?pid=tools) or point them to voting websites (
http://moveonpac.org/vote/), encourage undecideds to get more information in relatively simple, non-partisan ways (AOL & TIME's,
http://www.presidentmatch.com/Main.jsp2?cp=main or the League of Women Voters' www.dnet.org) offer to take people to the polls, etc.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, you need to get busy....
