are you kidding me, FR with the help of other pajamahadeen single handedly destroyed the LW media bias attack by CBS on President Bush and managed to turn it around on Kerry.
That's worth a lot more than stuffing envelopes, not that those activities are any less vital.
It will be the bipartisan Battleground Poll, not ABC/WashPost.
I think it's WSJ/NBC.
That was great then and I take nothing away from that accomplishment.
But in the last four weeks before the election, the only important thing (that we have control over) is turnout of the base. Folks reading your posts on FR are going to vote anyway.
The one thing you can do to most increase Republican turnout is to volunteer and spend your evenings and election day at campaign headquarters manning a phone. Plus, spend the weekend before the election walking precincts.
The 96 Hour Task Force (calls, mailers, precinct walking) put together by the state parties and the RNC is how we won the Senate in 2002. Republican turnout in states with a strong 96 hour effort was up 5%. That's more that the probable difference, nationally, between the two candidates. Believe me, it works big-time--but it needs enthusiastic bodies to work.
Turnout is how we're going to win this election and increase our hold on the Senate. So rational Freepers stop congratulating themselves about post 47 and call campaign HQ today and start making calls and walking precincts. It ain't nearly as glamorous as taking down Dan Rather. But in the next four weeks, it will make more of a difference.
Hate to be pessimistic but with a flip flopping creep like Kerry and with Bush being an incumbent with a demonstrated record of leadership Bush SHOULD BE at least high 50s maybe low 60s in the polls
I think this will be worse than 2000
American public has been brain washed and brain dead for too long now
WE are on the downhill slope and it is not getting any better
