Too many Repubs are listening to the liberal media and having panic attacks. When the Kerry campaign gets heat for their "ads aimed at blacks", we need to realize all is not well in Left and Further Left's camp. Think about it, why does Kerry even need to have ads aimed at blacks? They should have the black vote tied up already. So before we get too anxious, we need to take a step back, take a deep breathe and take a closer look at what is really going on.

I think you're right. I think the media is doing everything they can to play up the Republicans being worried and the demoncrats being confident to try to reinforce in easily swayed voters that they should go for Kerry. If Bush and his supporters are portrayed as the scared goliath getting beaten, or at least matched, by poor underdog Kerry then it helps Kerry.

I am listening to my friends and neighbors and having panic attacks. My precinct, which is more or less the same boundaries as my subdivision, went 64% for Bush last time. There has not been a whole lot of moving in and out in the past 4 years. However, after doing a lit drop for Bush, I am not encouraged. Of the 18 people I managed to speak with, NOT ONE said they are definitely voting for Bush. Iraq was the dominant concern. (This was just last weekend.) The exception was an elderly man who was concerned about the cost of his medications.

The only bright spot is that Kerry doesn't seem to be hugely popular, either. Only one person said he was voting for Kerry. He said he was a vet, and that's why he supports Kerry. When pressed, he said he was in from 76-78. He did not consider Kerry's testimony in 1971 to be treasonous. He said he didn't vote last time, but was definitely voting for Kerry.
I am working on them, but unless something changes, most are either voting for Kerry or not voting at all. Not a single one of the 18 I spoke with, or several others, showed up at our Party for the President.

Looking on the bright side, my unscientific survey actually gives Bush 67% this time. (My wife and I for Bush, the Vet guy for Kerry.)
