It's a bit long, but well worth the read for those still wondering about Mr. Schundler.

This article was scanned compliments of GEC. Many thanks to you, sir!

Well, this proves it, Rush is a 'freeper'.

Thanx Bud!

[TatieBug]

Thanks for this exchange...this is a good man and hopefully the people of N.J. will get it figured out before it's too late! Is there any way to get President BUSH in there over the weekend just for ONE event to show all over the airwaves...think that would do it!

[Phyllis]

Thank you for this. . .a pleasure to read. Can't wait until tonight's debate. Go Bret Go!

A hit and run morning Brump. Something funny going on in the latest polls. Could it be....

[Hugh Akston]

Great stuff.

I have a good feeling about this race, and I am now of the mind that Earley is also going to win.

I might suggest you send an E-mail to the President, Tom Davis (R-VA), and VA Governor Jim Gilmore (head of RNC). To better answer your question, check out the below link on this very topic.

President Bush - Will he or won't he?

Don't play games with me, young man/young lady! [Indignantly] Give it up, or quit starting rumors! :-p

[GEC]

Thanks for saving me some time Coop!

I'm also glad that you took the liberty of bolding some of the text.

There was only one answer in this interview where I thought Bret rambled a bit while he danced, but it illustrates one thing about Rush.

For a guy who doesn't do interviews for a living (and granted this was preaching to the choir), he knows what the right questions are to ask.

Even though the questions were asked in a friendly, almost leading way, they still required thought to answer and Rush was definitely asking because he wanted to know what the answers were.

[Coop]

Well, that's good to hear. I do respect your opinion. I like Earley's chances better than Schundler's, though both could certainly win. But their chances would be greatly improved if the President would help out. But we have to face the reality that both could easily lose.

Earley took a severe financial blow with Sep. 11th, losing a Presidential and separate VP fundraiser. And now both Earley and Schundler are potentially hurt financially and definitely hurt politically by the Prez bowing out of the Governor's dinner.

Can't wait until tonight's debate. Go Bret Go!

I agree! I do hope a good amount of undecided voters tune in, because I think Bret will excel. If there's a running thread, please bump me once or twice since I'll be busy until later in the evening. Thanks!

[Hugh Akston]

What has really persuaded me regarding Earley has been how consistent it has been with Virginia polls undershooting Republican gubernatorial candidates. It doesn't matter if they are the front runner or trailing, and it doesn't matter if they win or lose, the polls have been off by 5 or more points.

You guys must be good at getting out the vote.

[Coop]

Or pretty darn poor at participating in polls! (And based on my time on the Earley phone bank last night, I tend to think it's the latter. Answering machine city!)

[Hugh Akston]

lol

Likely voter polls are supposed to compensate for that...

But I don't think they do.

[kylaka]

Well Coop, you got the young part wrong. I'm talking about Mcgreevey's slide in the polls from 49 to 45 to 41%. Its very strange, and very large, and very fast. It indicates people are confused, and reexamining their positions, even some of those who said they'd made up their minds.

That said, let me put it in completely unscientific terms. Schundler gives you a case of the warm fuzzies even when Mcgreevey tries to paste a 38 Smith and Wesson accross his forehead. McGreevey gives you a case of the cold slimyies even when he's cuddling a baby (I call it Clinton slease without the charm). I'd say this has the makings of a 15 point Schundler win.

[Coop]

Oh, that. Yeah. I thought maybe you were privy to a new poll coming out. But you're right, even with the margin of error it appears that McGreevey is losing some support while Schundler is gaining some. If Bret gets a bump of just a few more points after tonight's debate, I think he will win. As it stands, a 9-10 point deficit going in is not insurmountable (see Christie Whitman), but it's not exactly ideal either.

I truly appreciate all the hard work you Schundler Army folks are doing. Keep me fired up!!
