I have a really hard time fathoming many "it's in the bag, I'm not going to bother voting" this time around.
I think most Bush supporters want to cast their vote and "send a message" and there ain't nothing going to stop 'em. Not just a message of defeat Kerry, but a message to the beyond vile media.
I 100% agree. I live in MA so you all know what my vote for President Bush means, but I want to send a strong message to Kerry and his klan! We have some house seats up and I am voting straight Republican this year. I am sick and tired of the libs in this state and want my voice heard.
its not the hard core supporters I am worried about - we can't win with the base alone, we need motivated independents to get out and vote for Bush too. predicting victory as "matter of fact" is not what we need for GOTV amongst that group.
