The 'term' of the tide: Kevin McCullough offers evidence for a Bush landslide in November

I understand and agree 100% - check my tagline.

"Probably a large percentage of Republicans would be against granting amnesty to illegals but that doesn't mean they will not vote for the President..... "
About 80% of Republicans, including me, oppose amnesty.
Once people realize that the Bush plan does amount to a (albeit weak) form of amnesty, they wouldnt like it. If Gephardt was pushing this idea, would you say "heck yeah"? ... and yet we will vote for Bush.

A tiny minority are aghast at that. They shouldnt be. We never get 100% of what we want in life, it's absurd to expect as much from politicians.

[Wolfstar]

Yeah, that 9% of Republicans who are supporting someone other than President Bush sure seem to be the noisiest ones around here. Sigh.

Bush won NH in 2000.

Ditto your #21; exactly. I get so tired of single issue voters. We will never have a president we agree 100% of the time with and people need to understand that.

People would be better off venting their frustration in letters to elected officials, in droves, and cutting off the $$ supply. That gets their attention.

Staying home makes the party officials think they had the wrong message and unfortunately they often think they have to move left.

[Huck]

Looks up for grabs to me.

But if I am right, will you still remind me?

Yes, my hope is to be able to find this thread again on November 3rd, 2004, and renew our conversation, regardless! Of course any number of things could occur that would prevent me from doing so, or prevent you from responding to a bump...!

In the same vein, any number of misadventures could happen on the election front between now and November. I chose the word "interesting" in my post to you not to be flippant, but honest. It will be interesting not only to tally the results on the state scoreboard (and decide the winner in our little side bet here), but to discuss the D candidate - Dean, I surmise - in conjunction with the person he will have chosen as his running mate. I do not foresee this being Hillary. It will be interesting to discuss the running mate's flip-flops on issues and in personality in order to step in time with Dean. It will being fascinating to surmise what might of happened had a different candidate or running mate been chosen.

We have no guarantees that W. or Cheney, Dean or any other D primary contender, or you or I will remain on this earth until November 3rd, for that is in the Lord's hands, and all by itself makes the prospect of hind-sight discussion appealing. All we can do is intuit and surmise, and that serves to keep it all conjectural, unreliable, and therefore interesting.

My intuition at first told me Dean would not be allowed to lose to W. in '04, but that Clark would be chosen as the fall guy. I've changed my mind on this, mainly because Dean is setting himself up as a fighter, and that image will post well in '08 when Dean is dressed up to be the Comeback Kid, and Hillary makes her move for the oval office.

The Clinton-Dean ticket will be a powerhouse in '08, precisely because Dean will be trounced so badly by W. in '04. That's just my take. I find the difference in opinions now delectable contemplation for discussion after the fact, whether I am right or wrong, because neither of us are kool-aid drinkers and both of us know a great deal about what is at stake.

It will being fascinating to surmise...

Be. It will be. Sorry about that.

This is getting embarrassing:

I chose the word "interesting" in my post to you

I also see that I did not, in fact, chose the word "interesting" in my first post to you. That's one post I considered, however, before saying I was "very much looking forward to speaking with you again."

I'm really battin' a thousand this morning. Perhaps I'll prove to be equally bereft of skill in my political predictions? ( ;

The Democrats are the party of haters. That doesn't reflect the mood of the country, and haters certainly aren't in the majority.

People who scream "Allah akbar" as they fly planes into buildings are haters. It's probably not a good strategery to sound like a hater if you want votes this year. With scads of mass graves being found in Iraq it's probably not a winner to bring up the name of Adolph Hitler every time you mention the guy who ousted Hussein either. But what do I know I'm not a political consultant?

[GretchenEE]

Ninety-one percent of Republicans support the president

Are the other nine percent really Pubbies?

[GretchenEE]

"Could there be another 49-state victory... ?"

I'm looking to a 50-state sweep!

[.30Carbine]

Appetizers. (;

[airborne]

It did seem to me that the speakers line-up was designed to appeal to undecideds, independants and "Reagan Democrats". Rudy and Arnold and Zell were each appealing to voters other than the base. Excellent 'strategery'IMHO.

[Huck]

LOL! Hey, I'm glad you remember. Keep me posted!

[TigersEye]

Oh my! It looks like my wife is planning on having you over for dinner soon. I wondered why there were four and twenty blackbirds in the freezer. ; )

[Huck]

Last few days, I find my mind starts to wander to the subject of crows, and how, if properly prepared, crow really doesn't have to taste that bad. I'm thinking BBQ sauce. I'll slather it on, blacken it, ...

All I can say is I had no idea how BAD a candidate John Kerry is.

[.30Carbine]

ME, NH, VT, RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, CA, HA, WA will all go democrap

Hiya, Huck. You were right.

I'm here for breakfast.

[Huck]

Good morning! Well, before the debates, it sure looked like you would be right. I don't know how much difference that first debate train wreck cost Bush, but I think it made a difference. At this point I just hope we can get it closed and done and get the losers to admit they lost. Thanks for the ping! So much for sleeping! Time to go to work!
