1. Is he EVER in Washington, D.C.?

[GOPNotForMe]

2. Aaaaaaaah NO! Go away!

We've already had to deal with your little Vice Troll! UGH!

3. For Bush to come to Florida again

he must be in trouble here. There are some polls showing Kerry ahead by 4 or more. I have to be in Gainesville Sunday for a kiddie party so I am not looking forward to the traffic jams this will cause. Elizabeth Edwards will be in Gainesville Sat. This is college town in FL that I think could go either way.

5. Go either way?

Friend, I am a proud graduate of UF (Go Gators!),and there is absolutely NO WAY Gainesville goes for Bunnytpants. Alachua County is one of the most liberal counties in Florida. There are almost 55,000 undergrads alone at UF. The Dems almost ran the Swift Boat Liars out of town on a rail when they had their "meeting" in downtown Gainesville. I get your point, though. They must be very desperate, as this is a waste of Chicken George's time.

13. another former gainesvillian, here

and gainesville is an absolute oasis of intelligence in north central florida. and it probably IS the most liberal city in florida.

but go outside of gainesville 10 or 20 miles or more and you have stepped backwards in any understanding or tolerance of diversity.

i hope the people of gainesville, and those of like minds, CAN pull florida through this.

15. I completely agree with you

and found the same thing when I was there. Hicksville outside of town and most of the rest of Florida. Hopefully Gatorville can help off set the freepers. Go Gators!

4. It's gonna kill him. He already looks like a crazy man

and Laura looks more and more draped and frumpy, helmet haired , round shouldered and depressed. He is really looking crazy. He is over the edge and falling off the cliff.

10. Jesus W. Bush perfoming miracles

[ima_sinnic]

6. UGH!! just GO AWAY! this is a nice town and we DON'T WANT YOU

hey, dumbass, guess what? Alachua County is an oasis of libruls in the middle of a putrid sea of pukes so you don't have a chance here, don't waste your time. not to mention that I and many others have already voted anyway--NOT FOR YOU.

7. Edwards came to Gainesville...Bush was in The Villages in Ocala

Cheney came to Gainesille to meet with business owners...and then to Lake City yesterday...

Bush is keying in on North Central Florida...I REALLY REALLY wish that Kerry would come to Gainesville!!

PS-Elizabeth Edwards will be here tomorrow!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. Bush is an idiot to come to Gainesville

There will definitely be 5 times more protesters than supporters. I can't wait.

So far, I'm batting a 1000. I gave Cheney the bird to his face. I got to shake hands with Edwards. Tomorrow Elizabeth Edwards is coming. And then I'll try for another birdie on Sunday. Bring 'em on, asshole.

9. Ah crud

*sigh* There goes a pleasant Samhain. Maybe if I put out another jack o'latern, the Ghoul-in-Chief will stay away.

11. Gainesville area not for Bush.

I believe I read in the Alligator newspaper that the largest bloc of registered voters in Alachua county are students. And most students here at UF are Dems. Heck, I think Alachua county was the only "Blue" county in the North Central Florida area.

16. Welcome to DU! and Go Gators! n/t

12. Bring him on...

He'd get a friendlier welcome in Tehran than he'll get here in Gainesville. The Florida GOP is going to have to import rednecks from Starke, Williston, Ocala, and Waldo in order to get enough "friendlies" to block out the protesters.

Let him waste his precious time here; he won't be picking up any votes. If anyone is interested, I'll take notes and post photos.

14. do let us know how things turn out

and photos would be great.

gainesville is a good, small city. i don't live there now, but i do care about it. grew up close to itchetucknee river, got my degree at uf, worked for the university, got my start in financial aid in anderson, then criser hall.

lots of good memories, lots of good people.
