I don't get that, we have had 4 years to fix these problems and root out the fraud, you would think that we could have done more to make sure this does not happen again.

Yup - most of the early voters have to get back to New York to vote in their own precincts...

"Turn that freakout stress into energy to help Bush win ... that's it I will have to make 100 GOTV calls monday *and* email everyone on my list with pro-Bush and anti-Kerry material etc."

Consider copying and emailing THIS too !

1. According to Kerry Spot, that ain't true.

2. If he only has 56 percent of early voters, which (according to my theory) tend to be dems, that ain't good for Kerry.

If things were going badly, I would want campaign HQ to keep our spirits up before Election Day and tell us things are going well. I don't necessarily believe Geraghty's news. I believe he was told it, but I've been inside enough campaigns to know when our supporters need to hear the "massaged" truth so we can be sure they get out of bed on Election Day and GOTV.

I'd look to the polls for Early Voting replies, if I'm going to put any weight on them at all. And I don't.

Perhaps you would rather wear rose colored glasses right up until we lose? I am trying to get out news that will motivate everyone to keep on pushing until Tuesday. I don't post just the good stuff, what good is that to anyone. Don't you think it's good to stay on your toes. Besides if we all posted only positive feel good stories, there would be NO posts....

I live in Cent. Fl. and vast majority of the early voters are minority, if you get my drift.

If Florida is this close, Cheney should be there and not in Hawaii. Notice I did say "If true".

I disagree. Cheney's visit to Hawaii will be HUGH. They never get any candidate lovin' in a normal campaign. A single visit means a lot.

Florida has 10x the population and they're sick to death of seeing every candidate and his brother give speeches. No point in sending Cheney there.

True -- but you started at least three threads today, all of which were already posted (repeatedly) and all of which make things look bad for Bush. All I'm saying... people around here are smart and they tend to react negatively to all that negativity.

If Florida is this close...

Why do you think Florida is close? If you believe that these early numbers mean anything, it is a Kerry blowout.

It ain't until near poll closing time on Nov 2 that any kind of exit polling has value. Until then, the best we can rely on is polls that include those who still intend to vote--which seem to indicate a closer race with Bush the favorite.

Now I may be going off on a limb here, but I'm gonna guess that Karl Rove has a better handle on this issue then you and I.

Well, all I can say is that when I read something, either it uplifts me and I feel GOOD, or I get mad, and when I get mad I want others to get mad with me and do something about it. As far as the repeated posts, I do a search of the headline, and if I don't see it, I post...how do you not repeat post, there is so much traffic on here it's crazy. I am not a Troll, maybe a pesimist...

If the voting machines are going to get "zotted" so to speak, let's hope it comes early!

I agree with you completely, I know it's good to be positive and confident, but many a time I see lots of posters being a bunch of Pollyanna's when the situation is far from rosy--it makes me almost as disgusted as the democrats! No one loathes that cadaverous horsey-faced horse's a$$ Kerry more than I, but just because we feel that way doesn't mean the rest of the populace does. Living in a bubble can be to your detriment, folks.

Again, I can only assume you mean me...well I don't know what I gotta do to convince you I am no such thing...if you want to believe that, I can't stop you. I am just as conservative as you...probably more so...but I don't want to hear ONLY good news all day...thats living in a bubble.

Why desperate for both?
Kerry's going to the places where the dems romped in 2000.
Bush is going to the places he had no hope in 2000.

Something smells like rot in the Kerry camp.
Something smells like BBQ chicken in the Bush camp.
