Larry Sabito was on Fox this morning. Very depressing. He thinks Bush has to lose Cheney for another VP. He says for Bush this election is tied at best. Now I have some questions about this. Isn't Kerry supposed to be receiving his Edwards bounce now? Tied at best? On the other hand, we hear this story about the indifferent black voter base every election, and every election they vote in huge numbers for Democrats. Sabito also says Bush is losing in Pennsylvania and Florida right now...and that the electoral map looks just like four years ago, except that Bush has to get Florida back, and has a chance at Pennsylvania and Wisconsin this time. Anybody have any substantively good news out there? Has this country moved very far to the left? It's so scary.
Depressed? Consider who guides the universe. Has He not been faithful throughout the ages of time?
Revelations says there will be ½ hour of silence in heaven. Could that be the "ah-hah" moment when we finally see the His grand plan of history and all our worries and questions are silenced?
Chris Lehane, while working for John Kerry is responsible for shopping the "Bush lied in his STOU" story to the media. The Kerry campaign still supports the Joe Wilson web site. We can turn this election around if we get the word out, that IT WAS JOHN KERRY WHO LIED, by spreadind the Joe Wilson's story. Bush did not lie.
Stop listening to the so-called pundits and use common sense. Do you honestly bellieve that we will elect the most liberal senator from the most liberal state (Mass, where gay marriage is legal) as President? Has the country shifted to the left or right since Bush I beat Dukakis? The only reason Clinton won two terms, never with more than 50% of the vote, is because he tried to portray himself as a centrist Democrat. His policy of triangulation was used to make him the broker between the two parties. Gore tried the same tactics but didn't have the charm.
Kerry is now trying to cast himself as a moderate. He is a hunter, a military man, strong on defense, and believes life begins at conception. Despite being the richest man ever to run for the Presidency, he is a populist who identifies with the common man. Teresa will be the first foreign born First Lady since Louisa Adams in 1825 and the first ever to be born with non-American parents. Louisa's father was an American who married an Englishwoman in London.
If America elects John Kerry, then I must be living in a parallel universe or election fraud is so widespread that the country is headed for the ash heap of history. Unless something totally unexpected happens between now and election day, Bush will win in a landslide.
Don't take Larry Sabato seriously. He is a popular but not serious pundit. An academic houseplant by training and nature, he blooms at midnight to confirm that it is dark outside.
He says the election will be at best a tie because simply, the election polls for the last few months suggest that it will be a tie. Big deal.
Sabato has the David Gergen disease: he will tell you today's weather, as it happens. And ask a pretty price for the information.
