I keep waiting....and waiting....and waiting...for the Ron Silver "Democrats for Bush" ads.
This would be such a powerful theme for the home stretch: Silver, Ed Koch, Zell Miller. Look at that--coast to coast, region to region...except that we need someone from your neck of the woods. Wasn't there some Dem mayor up your way who came out for Bush?
Anyway, Ron Silver ROCKS and the Bush team should use all of them more. If I were Rove the only talking point I would assign them would be "Hate has overtaken my party's senses".
That hate can be related to their nonsense on the war, their disdain for conservatives, and their intolerance for anyone who disagrees with them. It would be powerful stuff.
An Ohio democrat mayor came out for Bush. That's probably who you're talking about.
