Trouble on the campaign trail. A bad day to be a Kerry supporter.
Best of the web | August 31, 2004 | James Taranto

James Taranto of Best of the Web found this entry on the Democratic Underground website:

“I had a horrible experience canvassing today. We went out canvassing Democrats today to ask them to support Kerry and our local candidates. We were in apartment complexes and lower middle class housing. The young Democrats living there told us they were voting for Bush! We even met a young marine who said he was just back from Iraq and supports the war, which is why he is voting for Bush. These people have nothing and they are the ones Bush is hurting the most, and yet they support him. And they are registered Dems and young. Why is this happening. I thought our base was solid. This is very frightening. We walked for five hours and only met two people who supported Kerry on our Democratic list! What does this mean?”

Support for the Swiftees is crucial right now, so they can get these ads on the air on REGULAR TV in battleground states. FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.

Swiftee window sticker thread - get yours! Freep mail for details.

I'm not saying that this one little piece of info indicates a Bush landslide, but read the DU thread. It's full of stories of people who should be rock solid for Kerry going to Bush. If they're all trolls, then there is no real DU, just a bunch of trolls screwing with each other.

I think the tide is in Bush's favor. I expect a win large enough to prevent a bunch of recount BS like last time.

Roger that. Even a 2% margin in the popular vote would make cheating nearly impossible. There's a reason that there are credible allegations of cheating in only two recent elections--1960 and 200. It's because they were razor-thin.

Nothing. The point was if it is a post that is not from a battleground state, it probably doesn't matter. If a DU type can't find Dem voters when canvassing in Texas, this means almost nothing because we already know we will win Texas.

I may be the only person on this forum that doesn't read DU so if you say it's 'full of stories' of people who should be rock solid for Kerry going to Bush then I'll just leave it there.

You obviously read them..I don't. I hope you're right.
