You just made me think of something.
All the outlanders moving up here from DC will see them too.

Good plan, Swiftees....:)

Something tells me this will be about as effective as a blitz put on by the Chargers.

My whole state needs to be forced to watch the ads.
We have too many clueless transplanted libs running off at the mouth, already.

No state is locked in for the ketchup gigolo.

Zell Miller made sure of that last night when he framed the issue perfectly.

It's about the future of our world!!!

Country before party!

Explain to me how these two pampered brats, one just receiving a full scholarship to attend university in London, can relate to the lives of students at a black college, or any college other than the Ivies.

Corzine and Menendez joined with the muslims in Paterson and held a press conference railing against the Patriot Act.

Corzine has actually offered a bill to remove parts of the Patriot Act.

Dear God, I hope you're right.
I am sick of the shame of seeing MD "go blue" every election...:-\

The problem he will have is that in these ads he does not discuss specifics of his plans. A good number of people may not like Bush, but they do want to know what they are gettting.

I haven't a clue. But, this may be indicative: I've been up since 4:00 a.m. since seeing one of these "elites" off this morning.

According to him, I live in a hovel. So kind, especially since I am good enough to give him a place to crash for the night.

(He's off to join his Palm Springs friends today. Apparently they believe that keeping "good" thoughts in their heads will turn the hurricane out to sea. Typical liberal head-stuck-in-their-you-know-where.)

I kid you not!

Sorry, that was Palm Beach, not Palm Springs.

4:00 a.m., indeed!

All you can say is that you are sorry they are the kind of person who would put their party before the national security of the nation.

I often remark that of course, I'm a republican, I love America. Then I just smile and say no more.

Oh, but I have a secret weapon in my arsenal.

I served fried turnips and collards without seasoning, and fried, canned salmon cakes for dinner the night he arrived.

(We ate before he came: lasagna.)

The DNC has a lot more money to spend when you look at the 527s.

In Virginia, Kerry has spent $2.5 million to try to make the state competitive, but it didn't make the list.

It's stunning to me that they even considered spending money in Virginia. I can't imagine what the Kerry campaign was thinking - or better yet wasn't thinking. Maybe it was due to Warner (d gov) convincing the DNC, but the only reason he won is because the Republican Party ate itself at the top levels (like it tends to do every once in a while). Both Senators are Republican (okay even though its the other Warner), the Commonwealth House and Senate have Republican majorities, and the current Republican AG will probably be the next gov.

But this $2.5 million effort by the Kerry campaign also shows something else, an error by the major polling entities. For several months the pollers have suggested that Virginia was possibly going Kerry or that it was a toss up. They had to be looking at tea leaves and the money Kerry was spending, not at good numbers. This is a Republican state will vote to reelect President Bush - and that didn't just happen.

In an unusual strategy, the campaign was reserving airtime over the entire two-month period until the election. The rest of the states — Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Maine, Michigan, Arizona, Louisiana, Colorado, Arkansas and North Carolina and West Virginia — won't see the spots until later this fall.

This could turn out to be a mistake of epic proportions. Kerry is basically rolling the dice on what the electoral landscape is going to look like a month from now. If the tides shift, and opportunities present themselves to him in unpredictable places, or if threats appear that he had not anticipated, he's going to find himself wasting money that would have been better spent elsewhere.

He's basically just locked in his campaign strategy for the next two months. And we want this guy commanding our armed forces????

"The DNC has a lot more money to spend when you look at the 527s."

The DNC is locking in the ads in the event they have to change the candidate so it becomes one less thing for them to worry about.

If there is a problem and they do not have the spots and a new candidate comes into the race, providing there is a court challenge, that candidate will not be given air time. This guarantees the spots.

This is the first in a series of moves that will enable the DNC to easily swap out candidates.

Watch the fun begin. Remember, Hillary's petitions have already filed for the Presidency in all 50 states. This has fallen under the radar.

I work here on the base, and I had no idea they were over at Norfolk State (I assume from your description they were there). Shows how much attention they are getting, I guess. Figures they wouldn't go near ODU.
