There IS something going on; I can't quite put it all together, but there is something in the back of my mind that just won't "jell yet," if you will.

In my life, I have never ever seen the liberal/elites this upset. Yes, outraged; it's almost like they believe that the GOP isn't playing its assigned role in the big scheme of politics, the one where they maintain that they hold the moral high ground and we are the mean-spirited interlopers.

I think that maybe, just maybe they are beginning to understand that the public is NOT paying attention to them; and they're use to shaping the discussion.

There IS some kind of "plan" here. I just can't figure it out yet.

I've noticed a lessening in the vitriol in some today.......Mort Kondracki for one. I got the distinct impression that he might vote for Bush. Mara was not quite as critical although her remarks might have been tempered by the critical emails going to Fox.

Where IS Charles Krauthammer? I value his perceptions.

Tom and Tim are saying Kerry's speech tonight at midnight is going to be just as strident as Zell last night. "It's a seismic switch", says Tom. Brokaw says Kerry sees that as an attack on his patriotism. (Red herring). Kerry knows, EVERYONE knows that his patriotism was NOT challenged. People aren't stoopid!

Brokaw says Kerry will be out defending his honor now, not windsurfing in Nantucket!
