Heard the tail-end of Howie's show tonight... Some idiot who I assume is a Republican (he likes Howie's show) called in to say that he and his wife were staying at home (not voting) because 'they don't want to be responsible for what happens in this election.' Geesh... how stupid can you get?! Howie pleaded with him to go out and vote, but he didn't plead THAT hard.

I'm slightly 'miffed' over Howie's "Muffy treatment" of Kerry Healy over the years... some of that could be coming home to roost tonight...

True though as Howie and his listeners are saying now, her
ad campaign was not run well (maybe she should have put forth a whole bunch of "positive" ads to introduce her to the
voters, then run the "garage" ad--the Deval-is-soft-on-crime
one). And as Howie said people don't read newspapers like they used to--they needed to read just how bad Deval was on stuff
like this. Instead they just see the ad and go, "oh,
it's a negative ad--that turns me off so much!"

Usually negative ads work but not this time. People are
turning away from the truth? What I really can't believe
is when it's said people agree with Kerry's positions
but don't like her, while they don't necessarily agree
with Deval's positions but like him (and would vote for him). Whaaaaa...?????
