President Bush and former Sen. Bob Dole campaign in Westlake, Ohio, today.
Huge crowd in Westlake.
The President in Dayton, Ohio, today.
Big crowd in Dayton.
I keep seeing FReepers saying the GWB campaign has been "laying off" Ohio. But the whole point of this thread is that he made several stops there TODAY. Sigh.
I'm glad your friend is so perceptive, and that she's going to do the right thing and vote for GWB.
I live in the Torrance-Redondo Beach area. I know what you mean. Despite California's problems, I couldn't move away unless I took the Pacific Ocean with me.
Our Bush-Cheney signs all had the outline of the state of WI behind the names. I assume this was done in all states.
Lots of attention to detail in this campaign.
Wow! My heart goes out to you. If it ever gets too thick for you moving in Leftist show-biz circles, FReemail me and I'll do what I can to help.
You are most welcome, glock. This is a week when we need a little sunshine in our lives. If the president wins next week, as far as I'm concerned, that will make everything all right because of what's at stake in this election. Racing will go on, but the U.S. might not if Kerry gets his hands on the levers of power.
I am a 61-year-old woman. I have never been a *fan* of anyone. I was exactly like this in Dubyah's presence and I, who am never at a loss for words, could only repeat "Thank You" over and over.
Every woman I know who has been on the rope line w/Dubyah has reported the same response. Aged 25-53, they all say what I felt: this man is so charismatic, he could have been an actor, a rock star or a revivalist preacher.
At the rally I attended, all the women around me, some in their late teens and twenties, had expressions identical to those in the pics.
It is indefinable.
Here in Cincinnati, where I live, KE signs are vastly outnnumbering BC signs, and on the local AM, pro-Kerry spots are outnumbering Pro-Bush spots by at least 2 to 1.
There are so many ways to combat this. Bush should have ads on TV **RIGHT NOW** SLAMMING Kerry for his cheap a$$ attacks! I have not seen one. And sorry, but his occassional attacks on the stump are not nearly enough.
Want to call me chicken-little? Go rigt ahead! If he keeps treating OH the way he has, get ready for President Kerry!
Wow! Double wow! What a special experience for a 16-year-old. I'm sure it will be a memory she'll treasure the rest of her life. If all goes well, she'll live well into the last quarter of this century. By then, the history of this period will have been written, and we'll know the outcome of what we're struggling with today. This election will shape the entire history of this new century. I hope young people then can look back and be grateful that we made the right decision next week.
Well...politically speaking. Chuckle...
May I suggest that you take a double dose of Ex-Lax?
Or popped into Chippendale's:):)
If you had been witnessing the goings-on in Ohio for the last two weeks, you'd need a double-doe of Ex-lax as well.
She was thrilled beyond words. I was, unfortunately, down with a flu bug and was suppose to be in attendance too. Our daughter had been scheduled to work today, but asked for a few hours of grace to attend this rally. I am so happy for her and know that it will be a very special story to share with her future children and grandchildren.

October 26, 2004--One week to go and President George W. Bush has pulled ahead in the critical battleground state of Ohio. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows the President with 50% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 46%.
A week ago, the candidates were tied at 47%. Two weeks ago, immediately prior to the final debate, Rasmussen Reports data showed the President ahead by two percentage points, 49% to 47%. Four years ago, the President earned a four-point margin of victory over Al Gore.
There has been talk that Ohio could be the "Florida of 2004." However, if current trends hold, Florida may once again be the center of the electoral storm. Our latest poll in the Sunshine State finds the candidates tied at 48%.
While the President's position has improved, the Buckeye State remains a Toss-Up for our Electoral College projections. Generally, we require a five-percentage point lead before moving a state out of the Toss-Up category.

I am just glad to see the tracking polls swing ever so slightly to Dubya today over yesterday.
Who am I to call you chicken-little or anything else? Your eyewitness reports are as valid as anyone else's, and I live a long, long way from Cincinnati. However, I would only suggest that what you see locally in your own area is anecdotal evidence. It is no more indicative of the state of the whole race than my own observations are here in my locality.
I live in the district of Los Angeles County known as the South Bay, and I've volunteered consistently for months at my local Bush-Cheney/GOP HQ. The enthusiasm and energy I've seen this year among local Republicans is beyond anything I've seen in the many campaigns I've volunteered on through the years. In my neighborhood, the only signs out are Bush-Cheney signs. I've seen a very few Kerry bumper stickers, but zero lawn signs. If I didn't know better, I would think we might actually carry California for the president.
So if I could offer a little gentle advice, it is to hang in there.
Kerry may have huge crowds at a few events, but only when he has a concert or a political rock star like Clinton attending. When by himself, the crowds are very small.
Bush has big crowds for being himself. That is a big difference.
Sorry for my going off earlier. I just can't fathom (even with the constant Bush-hatred from the far-left) how it is that Kerry is even contending.
This country simply won't survive with Kerry at the helm. I fear civil conflicts (if not a civil war) regardless of the outcome.
very much so, thanks
