I lived in Manhattan 8 years....I know how you feel living behind the lines. It's hard...you're surrounded by the enemy.

I hereby swear to ya that the Red states are firmly held even more than in 00.

The Old Media cannot fix this for the left.....not anymore.

I'll back you up on that, wardaddy. I lived in Boston for four years (after which I did not chant "four more years"). NYC Republican and Oceanview are showing that pistol wipped pessimism that I suffered while living east of Interstate 95. They don't seem to understand that there is firm land west of the Hudson River. Apparantly, they have no faith in us.

Zell's speach won't play well in NYC. It won't play well in New England, and it won't play well on the West Coast. However, I really believe this speach will wake up a lot of Southerners and (perhaps more importantly) Midwesterners.

There are a lot of very conservative people in the Midwest who pull the RAT lever each election out of habit. Having a sitting Democrat Senator tell them that their party cannot be trusted to defend the country and that he is now supporting Bush will make a difference with some of the people.

In a close election like this, that alone could be enough to move some states from F'n to W.

Thanks for the pep talk. NYC is probably even more liberal than it ever was... and the hate and vitriol for President Bush is just absurd. It's good to see that there's solid W support elsewhere.
