Very stupid liberal. The VP has been here, ads are still being run etc. Bush would never give up on Ohio. Ohio will be Kerry's Waterloo.

Slate: Ohio! Ohio! Ohio! Ohio!

pay no attention to the swings in NM, MI, IA, WI, MN and PA.

I got the Ohio Valley right here:

Friday, October 22, 2004

Several weeks ago, John Kerry came to Canton. He needed help to support his election to become president. A member of his staff contacted a local grieving mother of a Stark County hero who gave his life for what he believed in.

The staff member asked her to come and speak at the rally. This young hero believed in God, truth, freedom and liberty. What more great qualities could an excellent soldier and son have?

After being contacted by phone, this fine, moral mother, having the same standards as her son, found out she was being selected to support John Kerry, as she is a registered Democrat.

She responded that she and her husband would appear at the rally but she would like to ask John Kerry a question. It could be in private or public. If done in private, she would not reveal his answer to the news media. She said she would even sign a statement not to reveal the answer.

The question was: Mr. Kerry, why did you vote against the $87 billion for the equipment for our troops?

The Kerry campaign, after hearing this, told this mother she wasn’t needed.

A few weeks later, President Bush came to Canton asking to meet with the families of the three Stark County fallen heroes. President Bush ex- pressed his sorrow, love and gratitude to these families.

The family I am writing about is the Jesse Buryj family. They are close friends of my wife and me — so close that Peggy and Steve Buryj and we are one military family.

Both families are voting for President Bush for the second time.

Please pray to God and support our troops.

Editor’s note: Peggy Buryj corroborated the letter writer’s account.

Bush is going to be there in the final week, with the Governator.

"I'll be back"

I feel for the liberals down there.

I pity the fools . . uh . . whoops. Wrong big scary guy.

I emailed the author of this article Chris Suellentrop the following:

Chris,

Bush hasn't visited Ohio in 20 days and it's tied!

Bush owns Ohio.

Nice try getting the dems revved and the Repubs bummed though. But we see through it.

Regards,
John


This was his response:

Actually, I didn’t mean to exclude that possibility. But Bush seems to think the state has swung, one way or the other.

----

"didn't mean to exclude that possibilty?" THis is Slate propaganda pure and simple. They want to demoralize us and are risking their (IMHO) good reputation to do so. I'm comfortable calling them reputable because they are openly left.

HERE WAS MY RESPONSE:

Chris,

Just heard that Bush plans to hit all 12 media markets in Ohio before 11-2-04 and Rasmussen's 7 day has Bush up 50-46 in Ohio.

Just saw Mickey on CNBC spreading this ridiculous rumor that Bush has given up in that state.

Come on, we know Slate wants Kerry to win, but this propaganda has to stop. You guys have a reputation to uphold, which in this conservatives opinion is a good one.

And let me repeat: Bush spent 20 days out of Ohio and he's at worst a point down. Kerry has lived there and that's the best he can do?

That's the story in Ohio.

Have a good weekend.

-----

Hopefully they will get it together. It's one thing to be leftists. It's another to be propagandists.

I'm in Ohio and I think I know why - there is so much voter fraud. It is awful here and there is just so much that can be done. College students have registered in mulitiple places. We have registrations larger than the census count of some precincts. Vote reminder cards for new and old voters are being returned at a rate as high as 9% because the addresses are ficticious. Some people are finding out when they check their mailboxes that there are ficticious voters registered at their addresses. It is really awful here. Perhaps Bush's team is concentrating on states where the fraud is not so prevalent and the vote will be honest. Bush can win Ohio with an honest vote, but with the fraud - I dunno. PS - Mike if you are in Iraq - God bless you!

I've heard the theory that Bush's last minute visit to Ohio with Arnold will tip the balance. This sounds to me like a "hail Mary" move by a campaign that believes they're behind (in Ohio) and have to resort to a gimmick.

Any thoughts?

I think that since Ohio is THE swing state, President Bush will be there every day in the last 3-4 days before the election. Kerry will have to be in other states that he has to try to hold on to. He won't be able to be in Ohio. President Bush will have 100% of the attention of the Ohio voters and he will win the state. Just another rope-a-dope by Rove, Inc. :>)
