They didn't fool me.

Didn't fool me once...shame on me.

Didn't fool me twice...shame on my mouse button?

This is just another round between the CountryClubbers vs. the GrassRoots. Been there, done that. GrassRoots Republicans will vote for RINOs (while holding their nose), but it doesn't seem like it works the other way around. Ken Blackwell is the future of the Ohio GOP, but it's hard to get the current CountryClubbers to see the light.

Good news and just released poll hidden at CNN:


Poll: Foley scandal ranks low among election issues

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Barring an "October surprise," however, that domination could change dramatically if polls hold up.

Like the 2004 exit polls?

Who's home in the middle of the day when they conduct most of the phone polls? Employed people?

There is only one poll that matters, and it takes place on November 7th.

John Farmer sounds like a Girly Poster It for my tagline.

What a load of bs?

The "negative Republican story" blitz that we are seeing is unprecedented and will only become more strident as we draw nearer to election day. They are meant to instill defeatism, doubt and doom into the rank and file Republican Party so they won't come out to vote. If this tactic works we will only see worse in 2008.

According to this same media:
In 2000 the president won the electoral college by 500 votes and "stole" the election. Since then 9-11 and the Iraq war combined with allowing bin laden to roam free were caused by this president, and the wildly unpopular Bushitler would be totally destroyed in the 2004 election.
Polls predicted the same.

How did this very same man and party increase their vote count by over 3 million and win a second term?

The trend is our friend. The country is swinging right as is the alternative media. These people will be wrong again.

We'll just have to choose not to participate in this MSM wet dream.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm so confused...

Yesterday, it was Ohio Democrats Nervous about GOP's Superior Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts.

Today it's GOP Fears Ohio Democrats' Strength a Nationwide Omen.

Man, if the Dems don't sweep both Houses, there are going to be all sorts of homicidal moonbats flying around screaming Revolution - not to mention apoplectic MSM heads. That and a wholly imploded Democratic party. Can't wait.

I love you.

[Dr. Free Market]

To see the Dems in full suicidal hysterical moonbat mode should be reason enough to hold your nose and vote for even the RINOs. The 2 years of entertainment will be worth putting up with DeWine for 6.

[lonestar67]

I will be happily voting for Ken Blackwell.

Blackwell embodies the reforms necessary to the Ohio Republican party. I do wonder if RINOs in the Ohio GOP will try to subvert Blackwell.

I still think he will win.

[Alas Babylon!]

Brown, while refusing to set a date for a U.S. troop drawdown, is sharply critical of Bush's conduct of the Iraq war and sees it as diverting assets and energy from the fight against terrorism.

Right here is an example of media bias. In fact, Brown calls for US combat force withdrawl from Iraq. No he didn't set a "date". He just wants them out. I read that to mean "now" or "as soon as possible". Hardly the impression this article would give you, though. Also, since we're fighting and killing terrorists in Iraq, how does that divert from the goal of fighting terrorists? It's really a stupid statement. It's like saying,

"Yes, while we're killing terrorists in Iraq, we're also not winning enough, so let's leave this $hithole and go kill terrorists elsewhere, even if we don't find as many to kill as we do in Iraq."

[Faith]

DeWine will also win.

[chesley]

Me, too. Nothing as fun as "the day after" an election when the Dims lose when they had convinced themselves they were unstoppable. It's worth voting in a few RINOs just to see their faces.

"the shrill message on values" of the Bush administration."

Did ya'll catch this? This is straight out of the NY Times new talking point that Americans are "tired" of all this "values talk."

This guy reminds me of some businessmen that sat behind me in the donut shop in 2000, and were all concerned about Bush's connections to "Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson." The fact is, these kinds of people like to boink their secretaries and not face any kind of judgment, but they vote Republican so that their wallets stay fat.

So I don't know if this guy EVER voted for Bush or voted for the Republican ticket, but I don't mind if he votes for "pedophile Ted."

I've been out walking for Blackwell. Excellent experiences, but I've been over that. My son just registered R and will vote for DeWine and Blackwell for the first time this year.

The media know what the problems are of some Republicans in Ohio and they know many of those problems are not actual increases in attraction to Democrats.

The Repbublican problems in Ohio are a disaffected Republican base that is disaffected not because some critical Ohio Republicans are not "moderate" enough, but because they, like many in Washington, have abandoned too many Republican principals - like small government and low taxes. The low polls for some Ohio Republicans reflect conservative, not moderate anger at some of them.
