Shrub is "toast" - Dale Earnhardt Jr. telling people to see F911
On Fox - Dale Earnhardt Jr. told his entire crew to go see Fahrenheit 9/11, and that everybody of any political persuasion should see it.

--------------

IF this is the case, this is bad news. He likes his base "uninformed" and watching propaganda "only".

4. Someone should tell....
*. He still thinks he's gonna win.....or maybe the fix really is in. :scared:

In a brief discussion about Bush's campaign for re-election, Bush said, "I am sure I will win the election."

6. This could mean conversions
I thought only the believers would be going to see the show. It's influence over the election would only be getting the (ABB) base out to vote.
With this announcement by a NASCAR "hero," some of the uninformed may actually become informed. In any event, it gives permission to the curious to actually go to the movie.

8. Don't peak too early .....
i.e. Dukakis. If in September or October - GW pulls OBL dead corpse from cold storage and opens a suddenly discovered hidden warehouse of chemical weapons in Iraq - the worm won't only turn, it will rocket in the opposite direction.

Steady Now ....

16. I'm 99% certain there will be an October Surprise that will do just that.
He was so smug & confident when he announced in 2000 that he would win Florida. And then he did -- maybe not honestly & fairly, but he pulled it off. This administration will stop at NOTHING to 'win' again in 2004.

11. Don't hold your breath
Much too much spin is being thrown at this. 'Little E' just said 'go see Fahrenheit 9/11". That is all. He did not say throw Bush out. He just thought it was a good movie.

Dale Jr. is a bit of a maverick. But he is not going to do something that's going to completely alienate many of his fans. I don't think the guy is stupid. The only time I've seen him be political is when he supported Jeb Bush, but Jeb did a lot personally for the Earnhardt family when Dale Sr. was killed. Hell, if I were Little E, I'd like Jeb Bush if he protected my father's autopsy records.

The guy's got a huge fan base, and is perhaps the most popular person in NASCAR. He is not going to rock that boat by being controversial. And he's not going to make his sponsors sweat at all.

Don't read too much into this. All Dale Jr. did is make a movie recommendation. It doesn't mean he should be Kerry's running mate.

Though it is cool that he liked it.

12. I'm breathing just fine
I don't expect, or even particularly want, celebrities to urge a particular partisan action such as "Throw Bush out." But urging people to see a film that will help them make up their own minds is exactly the message I like to see spread around.

20. Are you kidding
That Dale Earnhardt, Jr. would say this is incredibly positive for our side. No, he didn't say "throw out Bush" in so many words, but let's be realistic here. F911 is an indictment of George W. Bush and his policies.

Not to mention, as someone who lived in the Earnhardt's home state for 11 years, I don't exaggerate when I say that those people are gods there. If the Carolinas had a royal family, it would be the Earnhardts. And it's not just the Carolinas either. The Earnhardts are folk heros throughout the entire bible belt.

If Little E is even somewhat on our side, it would be a crushing blow to the Bush campaign.

14. My husband, a NASCAR fan was shocked, but
then figured that the younger set isn't fooled by the RW faux-patriotism and faux-religiosity. They see right through Shrub.
