Even the campaign doesn't expect to reach 54 perce

Do you know why the ratings on the Democratic convention are the worst in History? Much of the Democratic base does not care enough about this election to watch their own convention.

They don't much care for Kerry and aren't mad enough at Bush to even watch Kerry's convention.

If Democrats won't watch the Democratic convention only a fool would believe they will show up at the polls in November. We are not looking at a 92 or 2000 turnout of 105 million. We are looking at a 1988, 1996 turn out of about 95 million. There will be 8 million fewer Democratic votes than there were in 2000 and 1992.

Democrats will not vote in this election by the millions. .. For the same reason Republicans by the millions did not vote in 1996.

Kerry is now going to the Celebration Concert with James Taylor and the Boston Pops. Scripted, screeches Estrich on Fox.

Last night several were more anti-Bush tonight several said they were now pro-Kerry. They liked his passion.

They'll like Bush's sincerity, straight-talk, and common sense even more.

"The problem, though, with that, is that the Bush campaign has been attacking Kerry for the
last several months. In fact, that has been the vast majority of their campaigning, has been
attacking Kerry. They're already under fire for running such a negative campaign and swing
voters are sure to feel alienated by such "politics of division," as the talking heads have
repeated over and over. Most swing voters don't have an unfavorable opinion of either Bush
or Kerry so if Bush can make a good case for why swing voters should vote for him, instead
of against Kerry, I think he can do pretty well. Save the attacks for after the convention."


Huh?

The GW camp has been running a negative campaign???

What color is the sky in your world?

"The very first thing someone in the Republican camp will do tomorrow is identify all the plagiarized lines. After that, it will be all downhill".

I agree! If they are smart that is exactly what they will do.(it could be big like Al Gores exagerations) I am just concerned they are not that smart.

I agree about the 4 months in country. He was there, he served, he won his medals, great.

He won them, but did he earn them?

I still waiting to hear the statistics on how many others (who weren't carried out on a stretcher) left Viet Nam after 4 months of service there!

"My counter slogan would simply be, "America doesn't need help from a liberal".


How about "with help from liberals who needs enemies."

I own a small business and I can smell a salesman from a mile away. I could smell John Kerry from here in Maryland tonight. This speech was filled with bullshit and lies, he might have wrapped his Vietnam service and the American Flag around it, but that flip flopping liberal didn't pull the wool over my eyes, and I doubt many others either.

For those he did buffalo tonight, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney will set the record straight. John Kerry only dug his hole a few feet deeper tonight

The GOP should respond right away: just by saying he would be a strong commander in chief doesn't make it so. Then, they should highlight all of his no votes on weapons systems that are so important today.

Agree 100%.

Maybe it's my bias, after all, the delegates seemed to eat it up, but I found his delivery unwatchable in the extreme. For the millions that make their decisions emotionally I think he may be overacting, as Gore did in the debates. One can hope :)

"Well, at least the Republicans may be able to come up with some decent music. What's with all the weird music at this convention? We have had variously irreverent and weird versions of the Star Bangled Banner, a VP speech followed by frightening-looking rap artists, and more Mellendamp vomit

JEEZ.... No kidding, I've been saying this all week. They kept playing the same songs over and over.... "We are Family" UGG!!

I agree, this race is Bush's to lose. Unless he makes some ridiculously foolish blunder, he should cruise home. All he needs to do is highlight his record, and compare it to Kerry's. John Kerry is so afraid of his own record, he didn't mention it in the most important speech of his life tonight.
