The Democrats have NO message, NO strategy, and appear to be aiming shots that have already been spent. Now THAT's a winning campaign. All this and more as Michael Barone observes, are the keys to understanding the shift in the polls in favor of President Bush. And he's gifted in the opponent he's facing who appears to have a tin ear for the vicissitudes of national politics.

I wonder if Kerry will show up for the debate wearing a bush jacket and his Purple Hearts?

You're right about the Dems having no message.

But--in all seriousness--that's never stopped them before. But in this case they can dress up a hollow shell, and push him out onstage, but when people really get a look at him they really don't like him. It's as simple and as devastating as that.

On Monday, the Democrats will push the theme of Bush as being AWOL. On Tuesday they will explore Bush as draft-dodger. On Wednesday, the question of Bush having pulled strings to get in the National Guard will be discussed. On Thursday, a lively set of lectures on whether Bush fulfilled his guard duty will be held. Then on Friday, the Bush-as-deserter issue will be debated.

What do you mean, they have no message?

fight back harder

Clueless ignoramouses. Don't they realize how many people see them as mean, bitter, venemous liars (the very attributes they use in describing Bush)?

The upcoming debates ought to be a riot, with Kerry & Edwards flip flopping in front of the whole nation to see. Will Kerry start to agree with Bush right in the middle of the debates??? I can't wait to see them!

Last Gasp for Dems:


DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe
produces yet another forged document,
this time claiming Bush was involved in
the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.

Oh man....my head is spinning.....I guess you need to be a member of MENSA to figure it all out.

If this is what a Nuanced Boston Brahmin does then its a straight shooting Texan for me.

About a year ago I considered President Bush to be a fair-to-mediocre President and planned to not vote for him. Recently I have reviewed his record of accomplishment, and reviewed the criticism of his performance from Democratics.

After seeing what he is up against, from every kind of vile slander, dirty tricks, obstructionism, I am now better able to judge his performance and character. I now believe that future generations will rank him with Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan, and that he will join other famous presidents on Mount Rushmore.

Did you see where the Wash Post is claiming that Kerry only needs to win Florida or Ohio to be president? BWAHAHHAHAHA they base this on registered voter preferences and the fact that Kerry has pulled campaign ads from "battleground" states because things aren't as "fluid" ( read that as we are losing like hell) as they thought it would be earlier....This is starting to look like it could be a massive blowout for Bush...I am beginning to think that rats are desserting the ship like they always do.....as long as we get out the vote I think we just might make a big noise

Puzzling as well is the Democrats' notion that attacking Bush's National Guard service is going to break the campaign wide open...what's that definition of "psychosis"? - continuing to do the same thing that didn't work before over and over again?......
