I will tell you right now that this story is happy horseshit.
The editors probably consulted with some power hour types in Washington, either on the Kerry Campaign or at the DNC. This week's meme is "Kerry is getting surprising support from dissatisfied Republicans". Watch; this will be picked up by other papers, beginning with those rags (such as the Sarasota Herald-Tribune or the PB Post) that are owned by the Times Company.
The Republicans who are wobbly on Bush right now have been your basic RINO's, the Jeffords types. I strongly suspect that our friends quoted here, especially the one quoted twice on two different days, were antiwar Republicans from the getgo.
Be Seeing You,

Yeah, but there's a younger, more innocent crowd now in place to vote. A lot of them agree with what they read in Newsday and other monopolistic press organizations in most cities. Yes, it's all on line, but they are not paying attention, because they're working and have children to tend to, not read blogs!
Even the blowhard O'Reilley is against Bush now, if they are. We have no public voice except for Rush, who's severely damaged, and Hannity, who never had much influence anyway. The Conservative word is not getting out there enough to the sheeple. I'm concerned that we may lose this election, and I think we'd better get our story straight and soon.
I agree. They just want to keep the bashing rolling.
