I think they're united but that unity is starting to dissolve. The values the democrats are touting is proving to be anything but common to America. The whole "Bush lied" rant is falling apart as the accusers are proving to be the true liars.
I won't say that it will be a landslide win for Bush but I do think Bush will win by 10% or more.
I'd say there is some infighting among the fascists, communists and socialists, but they're united in their goal to give us Big Brother marxism. If that's established then out come the long knives to kill each other.
I'm sure he means the RATs are united in a common cause to defeat Bush but they're still the same disfunction bunch of misfits they always have been.
I believe the Democrats are divided into camps. The farther left wing is currently running things and the DLC is taking a back seat. When Kerry loses, the DLC will then attempt to retake control, citing Clinton as their proof of success and the loss of Kerry, Edwards, Dean and others as proof of not being able to win. Those more conservative Democrats, including many who voted for Reagan and may now vote for Bush, really feel alienated by a party they realize is too far to the left. Zell Miller's book reflects that wing of their party.
...Political analysts agree he must win the state to have any chance of capturing the White House. The most recent Michigan polls show Kerry locked in a virtual tie with President Bush.....
The hardcore left is united against Bush. But that isn't the group that counts. It's the fence sitters. You never win an election by simply hating the other candidate. This convention is going to be about trying to sell Kerry to the American people. If his poll numbers don't exceed Bush by 10 percent after the convention he is toast. Right now the polls have Bush ahead and since we are a day away from the Dem convention the Democrats ought to be sweating bullets.
I'm afraid so.
Two things unite the dems: hatred of Bush and resentment of "the rich." I passed by a 'rat campaign worker on the street yesterday (Eastern Market in DC) and it was as so many others have reported. He was accosting passersby with a snarl and "Ya wanna help beat Bush?" Not a single good word about Kerry. That's what they're reduced to.
How is this gay marriage thing playing out among the black community? That is a question that should be asked. Will it cause many to sit home? I don't think they will go out and vote for Dubya, but they may just sit home.
Kerry's high support in the democratic ranks is in the mid 50s to low 60s depending on the poll whereas Bush's is in the high 70s to mid 80s. One thing that has hurt the democrates is the likes of Moore, Whoopie, and Kerry will be staying away from them. There should be a bounce for Kerry high support just like other bounces just epends how high and how long it lasts.
