I heard Rush mention this yesterday during his radio show....it gave me great reason for optimism on November 2nd....wanted to share it with some of you posters who are "the glass is half-empty" people to buck them up....

I must make one simple correction: The governor is a Republican

Correction: The governor is a RINO.

Thanks.

We can be confident, but not cocky - there's a lot of work to do.

But Rush is right - Rove is no idiot, and the Republicans haven't been napping.

I wonder if the Swift Boat Vets think there is ALREADY a skunk on the top of the ticket.

The true shame is that Kerry will get any more than 20% of the vote at all . . .

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

"RINO", "Republican"....whatever....this election -- this time around let's get over this terminology and unite to re-elect GWB. The "Democrat", "Far-Left Democrats", "Blue-Dog Democrats", etc won't pay any attention to "labels" this election: their whole goal is anyone but Bush. Don't forget that important, salient point, friend!

I am just outside Cleveland in the heart Rat territory, we are shocked by the number of Bush signs we see. I have never seen so my republican yard signs.

I really don't think Bush will carry this county, but if republican aka Bush numbers are up like this all over the state Ohio is going to be solidly red. Again, I don't think Bush will carry this union county, but we are getting our hopes up for the overall state.

[RockinRight]

Point taken.

[IndianPrincessOK]

GREAT read...thanks for sharing!!! Whew....I believe him...we are going to take Ohio!!!

[staytrue]

Here's the bet: John Kerry and John Edwards on Monday could resign the ticket. They could say, "You know what, we don't want this." I don't care why they resign, and Kerry would get as many votes off the ticket as he's going to get on the ticket

Actually, this is the way the dems could win. The "unamed democrat" or "democrat to be named later" runs far ahead of Kerry and Bush.

I will add that I think Ohio is as close as the polls say it is. I find the Ohio women are solidly behind Bush, but the Ohio men are switching to Kerry. The women mostly have service jobs and are happy, and the men have lost their manufacturing jobs and are not happy.

Thanks for the Rush transcript.

(okay, then, I'll step down from my soapbox....) :-)

In northeast Ohio, Bush will probably carry:

Lake
Geauga
Medina
Stark
Holmes
Carroll

Possibly also:
Portage
Lorain

This was sent to me from somebody inside the Bush campaign:

True....this is no time to go wobbly (per Margaret Thatcher's advice)

[Howlin]

See #12.

[ohioGOP]

Yes, Taft is RINO, and he is also quite unpopular among both Dems and the GOP, which Rush didn't mention.

[FarmerW]

I'm in Lorain county and will I pray you are right, I can't imagine the county going for Bush. We are working hard here and the demographics of county as a whole has changed some as compared with Elyria and Lorain city where I can see some tilt to a republican compared with past elections. But victory for Bush in Lorain county? Let's pray it happens.

Remember, the glas IS "half-full", NOT "half-empty"...a positive outlook goes a long way....how else could the Boston Red Sox have come back and defeated (my beloved) St. Louis Cardinals in the recently-concluded World Series? A defeatist attitude gets one nowhere....
