So Let Me Get This Straight...
Black people are now going for Bush...NY AND NJ are tied and are moving in Bush's favor....US women are now so scared they are going to stop thinking about the economy, schools and abortion rights and all vote for Bush...Washington DC is now very weak Kerry....but the majority of people think the country is going in the wrong direction, want to see a different kind of four years and think Bush was not truthful about Iraq.... Hmmm...does anyone sense a pattern here...

It's a ruse , a scam. Go vote, keep giving cash and take some old guy to the poll who needs a ride... It's so ludicrous, I'm busting a gut laughing...

1. I totally agree.
They're just throwing all this junk out there. I know people get tired of hearing about Karl Rove and I would be the last person to call him a genius, but it is his old tactics -- just throw out enough balony and some people are going to believe it. If he can keep just a few people from voting Dem or even to just stay home, it's worth it to him because it hasn't cost him anything. If you notice, they're attacking all the standard (is that the right word?) usually democratic demographics (say that 5 times fast!). They want us to feel that we're loosing the support we usually can count on.

My point is -- they're wrong. They're lying. They're lying on purpose and I'm not buying it. Nothing can stop me from voting in this election and I hope enough other people feel the same way!

4. This "security mom" thing is
a fabrication. The pubs have just re-labled the fundie moms in their own base who would vote for Bush*, as instructed by their husbands, even if the Dems were running Jesus himself.

6. Puzzled here too. Latinos in my area are pro-* and pro-Repug
I know that doesn't jive with polling numbers, but in E. NM, almost every Mexican American voter I meet is pro-* and pro-Repug.

7. Desperation
When Drudge used this far out tactic to say that Bush internal polls showed California was in striking distance close to the election it is apparent in retrospect that it is just one example of their big lie tactics. This going for broke is not the sign of a victorious campaign but a flailing one.

And this is more than a month away away from decision time. they are trying to build firewalls against a Kerry landslide until something else bails them out. Some satanus ex machina, which if they are planning it might fail miserably.

That Cheney at this early date is stubbornly trying to lay out a cause and effect exploitation of a terror incident a la loser Aznar of Spain, shows their train is stuck on the tracks. This is really jumping the gun. Why? To keep from tanking now.
