Hey, you in swing states or Republican-leaning states ...
Do you think the mood of the electorate is changing? Are people starting to look seriously at Democrats and Democratic ideas? Are they starting to wonder if Democratic ideas could be better for them than Republican ideas? I get the sense that the only thing that's keeping Kerry so competitive is that Bush is so incompetent. Sometimes I think it's Bush's race to lose, and he's trying his hardest.

1. I hear a lot of complaining here in AZ, but I also see lots of
RW stanch support.

I think if all the complainers voted this state goes for Kerry all the way, but that is a big "if"

I can assure you the RW will get out the vote here bigtime

and I lost the "bumpersticker" wars today :( I was the only Kerry sticker on the road and I saw 2 Bush/Cheney 2004 :cry:

I might vote 3rd party just because I feel I can in good conscious, but I wont know for sure till election day rolls around.

As for the mood yeah its definately more antiBush.

"I get the sense that the only thing that's keeping Kerry so competitive is that Bush is so incompetent. Sometimes I think it's Bush's race to lose, and he's trying his hardest."

Honestly not too many people here are all that enthusiastic of Kerry, Hell alot of people on these boards arent too enthusiastic of Kerry, but its ABB.

Myself and my family would have prefered Dean, Wes Clark would have also been good if the media didnt screw him.

I wasnt too found of Edwards, but I have a feeling that other Southern Democrats and maybe breakaway Republicans might have liked him more.

3. Northern Nevada
seems disenchanted with * but I am hearing less about Kerry at this point. I agree with Kerry's strategy of low key while * implodes but would like to see at least some Kerry involvement and position statements.
