Republicans are going to be in for a big surprise on election day if the Democrats are able to get out a large voter turnout! Norquist's reasoning if perfectly logical but not very realistic, in my opinion.
Tune in to C-SPAN any morning, and you'll hear every stripe of Democratic thinking from far-leftists to blacks, gays, and especially nearly all women callers. They HATE GWB with a passion, and would vote for anybody to see a Democrat win the White House in November, and perhaps even one or both houses of the Congress.
President Bush should be running scared, but from what I read in Human Reports recently, mostly liberal Repulicans are going to be prime time speakers at the convention. Is Sen. Rick Santorum going to be able to speak? If not, Pennsylvania may go Democratic. How about Senators Mike DeWine and George Voinovich of Ohio. No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio. Both states are up for grabs, and all it will take is for a large turnout of Democratic voters.
The biggest IF. Shrill rhetoric has a habit of turning off the middle 20%. And the Dems have been getting moonbat-loony-toonz since April of last year...YAAAAGH!
