Your analysis for optimum results in the election match mine. I doubt strongly that Bush will lose any state that he won in 2000. (I think that even FL will go red.) I also think that Bush may eke out some blue states from Kerry. Possibly, PA. This is getting very exciting. But best to play like we are down.
"But best to play like we are down."
Right up to Nov. 2 7:00 Pacific Time.
By "a lot of time," I honestly think this swings only one way---in Bush's favor. I'm convinced that barring a total unforeseen meltdown of the Bush campaign, he wins. The question now is whether Kerry can keep it competitive or whether thelemmings start dropping off the cliff, taking some senate seats with them.
Here in OH, just looking at bumperstickers, I counted (and I'm pretty judicious about this) 152 Bush, 51 Kerry/Hate Bush. I don't count the "God Bless the Troops" or "United We Stand," of which there are HUNDREDS and I'm sure that 75% of them are Bush voters. In short, we are working, and the POLLS reflect that work.
Who here thinks Bill Clinton released the fact of the 90 minute panic call after the RNC Convention? Who here thinks Bill's top operatives set up the phony CBS story, knowing it'd be noticed fast.
Does anyone think they will further sabotage Hanoi John? I do. Wait till the debates when the Clintonite team has Kerry rehearsed to lose; e.g., coming out against social security privatization on the grounds that it provides a multi billion $ "windfall" to portfolio managers, at which time ole dumbo Bush points out that if the commissions are in the billions, imagine how much that means for us viewers. Lurch smiles, starts to sweat, etc.
The final Clinton/Gambino plant will be when they leak out Kerry's not having received an honorable discharge within 25 years of active service.
By the time Bill and Hill are done, all that's left for them to do is kill Giuliani.
Except for the "kill Guliani" part, I sure hope you're right. I tend to see less conspiracy in these things than you do, though . . . but it's not beyond reason to think that the Clintons would torpedo Francois. My only question is . . . is he THAT stupid not only to keep them around but to actually INCREASE their power after these episodes?
My guess is he thinks he can win in spite of the rivalry. He's been writing his own resume and doing nothing with such great success (economic and political) for so long; that breeds confidence, I suppose.
ME TOO. I think after Zell's speech being so successful at the convention, Bush will go into the debates with his 6-Guns a'Blazin' !
No, you're wrong, very wrong. We have to be fighting until roughly 2 or 3 Pacific Time because we have to win that Alaska Senate seat.
On NBC News tonight, Russert only gave the 48-45 Bush (RV), not the 50-46 Bush (LIKELY VOTERS). Hummmmmm!
This was suppose to be the big poll that showed Kerry had pulled back to even that ABC had hinted abuot on "The Note." LOL. What a joke.
Yes, that is a must win.
AMERICANINTOKYO ADDED: "With that mindset, KERRY IS STILL AHEAD!!!"
EXACTLY!!! I lost becomming the Bush Elector four years ago because 40 Delegates in the U. S. District Caucus left early thinking I was a shoo-in. I lost by 12 votes out of an original 164 Delegates present before the 40 left without voting first.
That experience really DRILLED it into my mind that EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!! We MUST constantly think in terms of being at least 5 points behind.
This year, I did NOT take ANYTHING for granted! I worked like I was behind and as if I had at least one opponent (I had been told by someone they were planning to run also). In the end, after working like a dog for votes, I ended up being elected unanimously.
BOTTOM LINE: Work like we need EVERY vote! With RATS voting from the dead, we DO!
You rock! Thanks for the effort.
mega dittos lol
Bush Bounce to the top!
("PT") Premature Triumphalism MUST be eliminted from Free Republic!
I tell you, it will be the death of us yet!
It is rampant here. It really is beginning to disturb me.
If Bush loses, your post will be one of the first ones I post.
Run Scared.
Run Often.
Reject "PT" (Premature Triumphalism).
Let me guess, Chrissy on Softball went on to talk about how the race is tightening and how its a close horse race? He is so full of it. This is the closest poll I have seen and Bush is carrying the swing states now.
