"His latest incarnation will position him to draw support from swing voters who decide, in the end, they would rather cut-and-run from the "worse than Vietnam" quagmire than stand and fight. And, evidently, John Kerry wants them to know that he is the man to do it "

But do we really need a President who is going to cut and run, instead of fight the terrorists? I think any rational American will see that trying to run away from terrorists is NOT the answer.

But, there are a whole lot of Americans who are not rational...

He is betting (not unreasonably) that the situation on the ground there will get uglier in the next six weeks.

Ah, yes. Where would Dims be, without longing for some sort of misery upon which to capitalize?

Let's hope there are more who do have at least some sense.

But I agree with you -- that's why Kerry is polling as well as he is.

If most people were rational, Kerry could barely get teresa's vote, certainly couldn't get anyone else's.

Anyone see Beltway Boys tonight? They have Bush at 313 EV's. This includes FL, WI, and IA. I'm not sure what other Gore stats they think will go to Bush this time. There must be several since GWB's 278 from last time, plus 17 from IA and WI, do not equal 313. I can't find an electoral map on the Fox/Beltway Boys page. Anyone know what other states they think Bush will take?

It really is sad. I had an email group with some friends, half conservative and half lib. We had some great heated debates, but their arguments always boiled down to "I heard" or "I feel" or things to that effect. Never any real arguments or convictions. The last lib dropped out last week, none of the conservatives ever left. They just can't take it , because deep down on some level, they know that they are just plain wrong.

The other day, a Dim representative on Fox ended his time on the discussion by telling the Republican representative "See you in November and get ready to count some chads.".

I have no doubt in my mind that the Dims are going to gin up another fake fiasco, as they did in 2000.

If Kerry is "losing ground" why are so many networks including FOX News saying that Bush has lost his lead and the race is neck and neck?

What's going on?

That's why Bush needs to win decisively, with decisive margins, to pre-empt any of the Dems recount efforts.

It is critical that ALL Bush voters actually get out and VOTE, instead of think, that they don't need to, because he will win without their votes.

In this day and age, where people can easily vote absentee, there is no excuse for not voting.

I think on one hand Dems trying to -energize their base, so they don't stay home, and on the other hand, the Republicans don't want to get overconfident too early, and have their voters stay home, figuring that Bush doesn't need their vote.

TURNOUT will be critical.

I would also like to add that protest-voting for Johnny Nobody because W does not think 100% like they do is no good either.

I would not be surprised if Soros was supplying guns and money to the terrorists.

They are already propagating the rumor that Bush caused the hurricanes - global warming. Talk about desperate!

Sure, Bush created the hurricanes to keep Kerry from campaigning in Florida. ;)

I think that the underlying difference between how the Vietnam war was opposed and this one is that wonderful line they used to have; “No Viet Cong ever hurt anyone here.” Since that is patently untrue in the case of the war on terror, it's just not resonating with the rational, regardless of party affiliation.

Dowd, the NYTimes, WashPost, Hollywood, and the leading Oozers are spending more time in hazy, weed induced flashbacks of their salad days in the ‘60s and ‘70s than dealing with reality as it currently exists. They hear each other's fevered praise, and see the social-climbing snufflers around them echoing their tripe and imagine they once again are in the forefront of a “movement”. It probably is; more likely alimentary than political.

The herd of sheep they used to lead is not so stupid as to ignore the guys with hammers they've seen coming for them, and the Judas Goats haven't noticed the lack of hoof beats behind them. Imagine their surprise if they found out that if the butchers can't get sheep, they'll gladly take goats.

They probably won't, the butchers have a little Wolf problem of their own to deal with. And wasn't that the growl of an angry Bear I just heard? /literary illusions off

GWB is going to win. Maybe big. Maybe Real Big.

We'll see ...

We are literally going to be deciding whether to turn the country over to a bunch of psychopaths.

It's still a long way to 11/2, but the way it looks right now, the Dims would have to be contending for California chads to get the EVs they'll need to win.
