The other night, Paul Klein, a Kerry supporter from Squirrel Hill, had a dream -- that on Nov. 2, he fell asleep at 8 p.m, and didn't wake up until 2 a.m.

"By then the election was over and I had missed everything, so I raced to the television and turned it on and all I saw were a lot of red states with just a little bit of blue in there," Klein said.

Natalie Hauser, a Bush supporter, has her own nightmares to contend with.

"I'm really stressing out about what will happen to the country if Kerry is elected," the University of Pittsburgh sophomore said, adding she's lost 10 pounds worrying about it.

When sleep eludes her, she says, she finds herself turning on Fox News in the middle of the night for comfort. "Sometimes, though, they'll be saying Kerry's doing well in some poll and that makes me ever more upset."

Gee Natalie, if your boy is elected you may lose even more weight when you're drafted for Iraq. You're the kind of fool I'd love to see face the draft. No college deferment this time. Girls are going too! You can't hide out in the Guard like AWOL cause the Guard is in Iraq.

2. that gal is badly in need of a dose of "Outfoxed"

no way you could watch that documentary and not fail to notice exactly what they showed, constantly on display at Fox. And when I was her age I was a sergeant in the Air Force.
