Yeah, the 2002 Congressional elections really established that Democratic mandate.

Because of the media, are there many people who voted for Gore that now will vote for Bush? It doesent seem so to me. That means he has to win over new voters and Evangelicals, etc who didnt vote last time. Tough....

[timestax]

The Presdential television debates are on the horizon, and we must be diligent in making sure CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc., do not give Kerry a bigger part of the t.v. screen, than Bush. I remember something about them doing that in the past...shortchanging the Republican candidate out of equal t.v. screen coverage during a debate. Let them know WE ARE WATCHING EVERYTHING !

[demlosers]

I hope so. Let the fools believe it.

[Reagan Man]

Rush pointed out this morning that even political scientist Larry Sabato says Kerry will be the next President. Sabato says, Democrats are convinced GWBush will be defeated.

I think we might have a case here of over confidence on the part of the librats.

It's still PresBush`s election to lose. The Bush-Cheney campaign is hanging its reelection hopes on their efforts in the closing 13 weeks of the general campaign. With something like $155 million left to spend, Bush-Cheney has designs on an all out blitz to get back in the lead. All things being somewhat equal at this point, the election is far from over.

...but this year many Democrats appear to be believe their own hype.

Bruck's hype: Bush landslide.

My dear mom, an ardent democrat, won't vote for Bush but can't bring herself to vote for Kerry. He just doesn't inspire her. I advised her to vote for Nader.

A little Scripture is appropo:

"Therefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall."

Of course in this case, we want them to fall, so let them keep thinking they've got it in the bag.

It wouldn't be the first time Bush was misunderestimated.

"Absent a mistake by us, Kerry's the next president, declared Bob Mulholland, a Democratic national committeeman and delegate from California.

Bob Mulholland also swore that Gray Davis was going to survive the recall vote. He is known by Hugh Hewitt as "the Yosemite Sam of California politics".

[The Wizard]

and when GWB wins big on Nov. 2nd, are they going to finally realize that with Clintoons around, the only message that gets out is how bad they are, and anyone with them must be bad, too....

[The Wizard]

GWB only seems arrogant to those who really ARE arrogant but who have lost power...

Democrats Getting Cocky About Beating Bush

Getting Cocky, more or less, is what always happens when Bill Clinton is around.

"Absent a mistake by us, Kerry's the next president, declared Bob Mulholland, a Democratic national committeeman and delegate from California.

A Gray Davis adviser, correct?

[Badeye]

This is different from what, exactly? They've underestimated the President since 1999.

Lets review other "predictions" by notable Democrats since 2000, shall we?

Tom Daschle "Bush budget is DOA" - Budget Passed
Tom Daschle "Bush Tax Cuts DOA" - Tax Cuts Passed

Terry McAuffile - "Jeb Bush is going down" Jeb was reelected by a wide margin.

Terry McAuffile - "Catherine Harris is going down!" Congresswoman Harris not only won, but is now considering a run for the Senate, and the odds are in her favor from what I can tell.

The Democrats are not "giddy"....they are just as delusional as they have been since 2000.

[eyespysomething]

d'uh

Democrats saying the democrat will win? Never heard of such partisan politics in my whole life!

There has GOT to be other news, than a political party predicting they themselves will win the upcoming election.

Now, them saying Bush is going to win, that would be news!

[N. Theknow]

If the Dems are feeling cocky they obviously have a hole in their pockets.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

"Everybody knows it's going to be tight ... but I think the odds are high — 60-40 — that Kerry will prevail," said Convention Permanent Chairman Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico.

The same Bill Richardson who held a press conference to announce that he would refuse the Vice Presidency if Kerry offered it to him.
