I've said since the day the Dems handed Kerry the nomination that he is not going to inspire his base to show up at the polls, and in my mind he's done nothing to make me change my position. The vocal few in the Bush hating crowd have taken over the Dem party. They're loud and get a lot of media coverage, but Joe and Jane Dem are just kind of shrugging their shoulders. I still don't think they're going to make it to the polls on Nov. 2 to vote against Bush, and I damn sure don't think they're going to show up and vote for a guy they just feel so-so about. Bush has devotees. Kerry has none.

A (God rest his soul) old buddy of mine was a rabid DimRat. He argued fiercely that Bush was the devil. He denied to himself what the Dims had become, and supported Gore in many out-of-the-blue phone call rants he made to me. I related the truth about Gore to him. Election day: He just couldn't bring himself to vote for Gore. He just didn't vote. Swore he would, and for Gore, couldn't bring himself to do it.

Not to make light, as I hate this, but typical rabid Dim supporter - he was not quite firing on all cylinders. A year ago he took his own life with a 12 guage placed under his chin.
