Mark Steyn: If Bush goes, I go

a hastily arranged coconut-shooting expedition on the beach at Waikiki.

"Kin I get me a coconut-huntin' license here?"

[The Right Stuff]

the usual Steyn comment will do - Mark Steyn, you are a god!

[shield]

Again Mark Steyn understands and hits it out of the park...Thank You, Mr. Steyn from the Pajama Network. ;o)

[UncleSamUSA]

Fantastic article and fantastic writing as usual, Mr. Steyn.

However, if (perish the thought.. cough cough... hack hack) Mr. Kommie were to steal the election next Tuesday (or his lawyers were to steal it for him in the ensuing fortnight)

then I submit that never would your journalistic services be more sorely and desperately needed than during the years of an (ack.. ack,, retch retch) Kurry administration.

So please do not even tempt the enemies of decency and civilization by even hinting that your retirement would ensue upon an adverse election result.

We cannot afford this kind of unilateral disarmament at a time of national crisis.

[Austin Willard Wright]

Mr. Steyn should be careful. The door might hit him on his way out.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

We should have kept the Phillipines

You're right......Bush could have even more electoral votes.

[Pokey78]

Please do!

"they would be signing on to the wisdom of conventional transnationalism. Having failed to read correctly the mood of my own backyard, I could hardly continue to pass myself off as a plausible interpreter of the great geopolitical forces at play.

Styne is way too modest

"HEY NOW WHATS THAT SOUND, EVERYBODY LOOK WHATS GOING DOWN :

" A lot of us have known for some time there was something wrong in the world but it was difficult to pin down and put our fingers on. It was like an itch we could never scratch." We used to call these people "the left," and still do I suppose, but many of those pushing this apparently "left-wing" agenda seem to be high-level statesmen, the wealthy and the heads of multibillion-dollar corporations"- David Carr - coining "Transnational Progressivism" (.pdf - 60 sec. download )

The Republicans will make a net gain of two seats in the Senate, one of which will bring with it the scalp of the Democrats’ leader, Tom Daschle. Despite distancing himself from Kerry and running ads showing him and Bush embracing, Daschle’s floundering in South Dakota, and his lugubrious mien will be even more lugubriouser within the week.

I had to look up lugubrious. It means TDIDS.

[Pokey78]

Will do!

[Crimson Elephant]

At one time I thought it was crazy for Bush to go out to Hawaii, but the more I think about it, since they are so far behind time wise...he could go at the very end. It would get a LOT of NATIONAL air time and give the impression that momentum is in his favor and would probably cement Hawaii, and be as beneficial as a 12134th trip to FLorida. It certainly would make for good TV...where better to watch the election than Honolulu?

[madison46]

YEah...and they dnn't appreciate him anyway..don't bother

[COL_BILL]

Why should Hawaii vote for Pres Bush and other Republicans?

North Korean Missiles can, or will be able to in the near future, reach Hawaii (and parts of Alaska). Senator Kerry and Democrats want to shut down missile defense. This leaves Hawaii and parts of Alaska vulnerable to North Korean nuclear attack. Hawaii and Alaska should wake up and vote Republican!!

[lawnguy]

I would think Hawaii would be a natural place to do a great Dubya rally.

Hey, Condi can stay at my place here on Maui!

great

My sense is that the 2002 model is still operative, and that the Democrats and the media, talking to each other in their mutually self-deluding cocoon, have overplayed the Bush-bashing. Next Tuesday the President will win the states he won last time, plus Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Maine’s Second Congressional District to put him up to 301 electoral votes. Minnesota? Why not? Nudge him up to 311 electoral votes. Oh, and what the hell, give him Hawaii: that’s 315. The Republicans will make a net gain of two seats in the Senate, one of which will bring with it the scalp of the Democrats’ leader, Tom Daschle. Despite distancing himself from Kerry and running ads showing him and Bush embracing, Daschle’s floundering in South Dakota, and his lugubrious mien will be even more lugubriouser within the week. Look for a handful of Republican House gains, too. And Democrats tearing their hair out — or John Kerry’s and John Edwards’s hair, if they can penetrate the styling gel.

Good to see that Mark Steyn is keeping the faith. More than that, he provides logic and reasoning to back up his prognostications! Keep the faith all - the time of our deliverance is nigh!

Don't we all love Lumpia...

[Legion04]

c-mon Hawaii get out and vote for W this election...we need your support!
Success and proven leadership are facts ,not propaganda like we see from kerry. That should be enough, for ANYONE to vote for Bush!
