DU meltdown watch - Day 2

From DU (GET READY THE SPITBALLS ARE ON THE WAY!)

" For months I have been predicting a Kerry landslide, something on the order of 60/40. I now doubt that it will work out that way and in fact I am becomming convinced that we are going to lose this election.

We do not have to lose it, but if John Kerry and John Edwards contine to lay down in the face of filth like that spewed by Zell Miller this past week we do not stand a chance. That 11 point bounce we all deny exists is real and it comes from the junk-yard-dog attack against is. That attack has gone mostly unanswered, just as it did when Al Gore was running, and the effect of letting it go by will be the same. We will lose. The only counter to this is to get mean. I mean real mean. It is pure nonsense that the people only want to hear about the issues. Bush has proven that by never addressing the issues but holding onto a lead that we refuse to face.

You mark my words, if we do not get mean, very mean indeed and very mean very soon we do not stand a chance in this comming election. Do any of you really understand how important this election is to our country's survival? It would seem not.

Love it. Like pigs saying, "I'm tellin' ya, if we don't get dirty, real dirty, we're in trouble!"

[js1138]

Don't worry. Kitty Kelly is on the way.

[TBarnett34]

Watch as I shake in my boots.

The Democrats are going to lose because they took the path of the coward and selected a candidate who believes nothing.

The Democrats deserve to get stomped, next time pick someone who reflects your beliefs.

Well, Senator Kerry had up until Miller's speech to address his Senate record. No one else did, so Senator Miller finally did.

Unanswered for good reason -- the points were irrefutable facts.

I seem to remember someone named Dean getting really mean......did not work out so well for him, either. Maybe a credible candidate with a proud record of service and a solid plan for the future would help.

[ClancyJ]

Yeah, she is right - mean sells.

[No Blue States]

ROFL!

Perfect pic, perfect time.

It would seem not??? These people are going nuts and he doesn't think they're taking it seriously enough?

Susan Estrich said the same thing yesterday. If they don't have any mud, they'll make it up, such as the alleged booing of Clinton yesterday.

[goldstategop]

I hope liberals follow his advice. I hope they really do get angrier, shrill and relentlessly negative. I want them to let the public no they have NO message.

[68 grunt]

I don't have the stomach to go to that scummy place, but I really enjoy hearing the meltdown quotes :^>

[WHBates]

LOL, like they haven't been mean for the last three years.

they have !!!!

[rodguy911]

The sad truth is that getting mean, real mean, is all they have. If they fought a fair and square election based on issues they would lose every time and they know it. The only hope they have is they can lie, spin, deceive fast enough with the complicity of the MSM and make some of it stick.
