How easily do we forget the "I can hear you, the whole world can hear you, and soon the people who brought down these towers are going to hear from ALL OF US!!!" impromptu speech President W gave on top of the rubble heap with a megaphone.
It was at that EXACT moment, my friend, that GW WON the State of NY in the 2004 election.
All he has to do is to play that clip as his NYC TV commercial.
Dems are DOA in 2004 as re: the Presidency - the only question is, will they continue what they started last November, and hemmorhage further losses on the state and Federal levels (let us hope so).
GWB is the REAL DEAL and no one knows it better that New Yorkers.
He has NYC won, ergo, he has the state sown up and he is RUBBING THE DEMS NOSES IS IT.
I now know, after 41 years of frustration, what it must have been like to be alive when Teddy Roosevelt was president. This is the closest we'll ever again get to his kind.
Man, THAT says a MOUTHFUL, don't it?
Cordially,

You have to understand the mentality of many New York voters.
Bush's chances of winning New York are slim at best. The only time Republican presidential candidates win New York is when they are matched up against dopey opponents like Jimmy Carter, Walter Modale, or Mike Dukakis.
Granted, that still might happen in 2004. But in that case the election wouldn't even be close enough to make New York relevant anyway.
