The Momentum Is Swinging Back

[Rokke]

Good on you for donating your time. But cheer up. Momentum is a funny thing. It has to have time to build. The momentum really started building after the Rep convention. By the time the first debate hit, it was charging. The first debate brought it to a screeching halt. But the momentum never reversed. It just stopped. Now it is moving again. You had 200 people take stickers at a football game!! People are coming to watch football, not hear a political rally. And people told you they were calling to volunteer or ask for a yardsign? Is that some sort of indication they are going to vote Kerry?!? I hope you told them where to pick up their signs. The train is rolling again. You'll feel it soon enough. In the meantime, thanks for your dedication.

I agree a lot of Pubbies have been depressed because of the less than stellar debates and the resulting decline in the polls. However, it seems the pollsters are starting to detect an uptick in W's numbers.

I keep hoping that there is some momentum-shifting event that puts it out of reach for us.

In 2002, I had not been as worried as most, but I had been worried. By this point, I was OK, knowing that most of the anti-war noise was coming from the usual suspects.

The Bush media buys seem to be down here, but, on the plus side the Swift Vets are running the "Questions" ads here pretty heavily.

O sweet Lord! The man is more gangly than Kramer ever could imagine. I'd liquify that with Photoshop, but why bother? His freakishness is already built in.
