Ever here of the Bradley effect?

Barring some unforseen event, this election is gonna be a rout.
You couldn’t be more wrong. They’re the ones standing in the way of drilling. We’re the ones for it. High gas prices help us. However, I don’t hope that they increase. They’re damn high enough now and most people know they can raise at any time.
If we don’t do something now, next summer will be worse than this summer. People are realizing that.
I agree from a logic standpoint but it’s not logic, it’s elections. All they need to do is to say that the oil companies are making a profit off the storm and Joe Average will remember it in November and remember the guy that wants to give those evil profits back to “the people”. If there was a solution that took care of this between now and 11/4 I would agree but the public, in general, has a very short span of attention.
This could hurt the country for the next four years.
While the idea of getting Zero out of the Senate appeals to me I am also attracted to the idea of keeping him around to screw up the RATS next time around. He will never be elected President but the idiots who back him can force another losing nomination.
This is different. We’re within the MOE in NJ, even in MI and WA. This race isn’t anything like the 2000-2004 electoral map. People can’t get that out of their heads, but this is shaping up to be something we haven’t seen since the 80’s.
AND it is happening (Thank you Sarah Palin) because of CONSERVATISM and not RINOISM!!!!
All that seething tends to make one unpleasant to be around. As I told a liberal friend of mine in ‘96, I gave myself 5 minutes to be angry about Clinton winning and then I moved on with my life.
These fools if they’d nominated PIAPS...they wouldn’t be running around in a panic. People tried to tell them...they were smarter than all their advisors and still nominated Mr. ZERO...
I had to repost that.
I liked reading it and wanted to read it again. :o)
> He can’t move on.
That has to be the ultimate irony for a Democrat.

Can we start the “healing process” now. LMAO!
He will never be elected President but the idiots who back him can force another losing nomination.
***The socialist made it this far on his first term as senator. As he gets more experience, he will be viewed as more of a statesman. He is learning how to moderate his extremism.
Jim Wooten used to be a big time correspondent for ABC News and the Brinkley program. He has won many journalistic awards. That gives this piece serious credibility.
Great pics. Thanks again, Jeff.
Gas will be $5 per before memorial day or we will be sitting in lines (like we were back in the 70’s) on odd or even days and paying $4.50 for the privilege of driving to work and paying taxes.
You are not keeping up with all the numbers. The ‘average joe’ is on our side now. We’re on the right side of this. They can say anything they want about oil companies. Our case is winning that they’re FOS.
Yeah... all this talk of blowouts and landslides... I dunno, I just don't see it. I think of how close Kerry came -- Kerry! -- without the cult following and utterly slavish media enjoyed by Obama. I know things are looking good for McCain but I just think some of the high-fiving may be premature.
Thanks - Admin Mod just told me I’m a spammer, so i guess you won’t see it so much any more! ;-)
Thanks for the repost, I missed it - and too good and true to miss.
