Who would've ever thought Clinton could be elected...TWICE?!!!

I don't see a Perot coming out of the woodwork in 2004. Plus Bush will show that the Republicans really want to win, unlike 1996.

[Reelect President Dubya]

Make that November 1, 2004.

you forgot more than a few
22-kerry will be playing defense every day after june.
23- who was ever elected by promising to raise taxes
24-who ever became president by promsigin to immasculate the military
25-the only thing kerry has ever run in his life is his mouth.
26-have we ever elected a giggalo to office?
If you are a democrat, this is not going o be pretty.

22. When was the last time American voters removed a sitting President during time of war?

John Kerry is not an historical figure. He nor any other demoncrat in the running does not have the stature, command presence, or aura of leadership to change the course of American History.

s-Ping-ster. I wonder if this will push your cynical button.

If unemployment is fairly represented by the current rate (high 5% range), this still represents a small portion of the voting population. If all the unemployed were Republicans, then it might be a potential swing issue. If however, one assumes an even split or more likely a heavy predisposition to the Dems, then the damage to Bush is not as great. I haven't seen any recent rates for the underemployed or those recently re-employmed at lower wages. This group may be more volatile but again their voting predisposition prior to their employment change is critical to knowing whether its a big loss or at best a status quo issue.

Bumper Sticker: "IF YOU LIKE TAXES, YOU'LL LOVE PRESIDENT KERRY"

[Iron Matron]

All these reasons don't mean squat to people whose jobs have been outsourced overseas

Why do folks keep insisting that President Bush is making the decisions for private corporations to outsource?

Those who dont like this current trend in outsourcing should blame the corrupt unions in this country or talk to the authority of tehe companies in question.

Where may i see this picture?

I agree with all of these except 'the base is solid.' I don't think Bush will have any problem winning, though.

some good points- the media hype for the Dems will be the undoing if at all- no one ever mentions the length of Kerry's service vs George Bush (4 months vs few years) inspite of Kerrys medals he pretended he threw over White House fence- it needs to be examined. The media even liked to show Pres Bush Sr climbing out of the ocean as though he "needed to be rescued" vs showing him flying or on his plane- no photos of G bush on his jet either.
As for Fla being more Republican now- Fl in 2000 had Rep Senate and Congress majority with 1 GOP USA Senator and GOP Governor- now has 2 Dem Senators - Jeb Bush was reelected in 2002- yet the Dems always acted as if Fla was theirs for the taking- phonies knew it was theirs if they fixed the Palm Beach and Dade county votes - ooh how my Blood pressure is starting to boil

Add Kentucky to the "more Republican" states. For the first time since Reconstruction, Kentucky's Republican Party is even with the Dems. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but trust me. On Saturday, the Courious Urinal had to begrudgingly report that Bush's approval in the Bluegrass STate is a solid 63%, even AFTER the public was informed about the Kay Report. Kentucky is one of those very important electoral states, in that it is a bellwether. Look for Bush to pick up big wins all over the Southeast, including Florida. Kerry will do well in East and a few industrial states. That's IT.

Immediately suspecting this reads too much like a blog, I clicked the source link. Sure enough.

Therefore, I'd sooner read my ultra-leftist, Poli-Sci-PhD-sister-in-law's opinion of Dubya's Iraq policy.

Happy? ;O)

There are two events that will be wild cards.

1) The capture/vaporation of OBL.
2) Another 9/11 attack on home soil.

The first will positively lift the Republicans, the 2nd could tip it either depending upon the scale of he event.

Kerry and his friends were quick to call GI's war criminals and give aid and comfort to the Peoples Republic of Viet Nam.

I'd love to think the voter fraud factor won't be an issue, but I'll never underestimate the desperation of scoundrels.
