I just had a coworker tell me that he & others are going to vote for...

[Tom_Foolery]

Kerry instead of Bush now...and we're in Kentucky!! He said that the debate changed their minds about Bush. They don't want him in charge anymore. Believe me, this is a big deal because these guys are usually steadfast repukes.

1. This is HUGE.

There is no way to spin that 'Bush won' and make it believable. The damage has been done, and I think it is irreparable.

[HFishbine]

2. You've got a long way to go in Kentucky.

It's a very red stat. But still, good news!

8. I don't know! The folks in Midland Texas are waking up!

[Arugula Latte]

19. Good god! Midland? Really?

I've been to Midland ... If you think folks there are waking up, then there must be some hope!

9. I was in the southern part of Kentucky yesterday...

and I saw a lot of K/E signs and no B/C signs at all.

3. My Father has told me of a similiar trend...

...and being from Louisville, I've got to say I'm very encouraged by this.

4. Hey, Kentucky! Smart people there are waking up!

I think it was Gloria Borger on Washington Week in Review say yesterday that for the debates, there was no pro-Bush, supportive audience to clap and yell when Bush delivered a soundbite, and that must have rattled him and contributed to his fragile appearance. The soundbites don't stand up to anaylsis or debate, and people are finally beginning to see that because there are no props. She also commented on how keeping him surrounded by supporters hasn't helped prep him for debate. Kerry had to go through rigorous debates in the primaries.

The ones left supporting Bush would never change their minds anyway, because they beleive that if he is a "Godly" man, he'll do all the right things and everything will "work out."

Congrats on your good news!

5. Buy a copy of F-11 and give it to them to pass around

21. Hell make copies and give them to everyone

[ochazuke]

6. That's hard to believe.

It's like if all the zombies in Night of The Living Dead stopped walking about blindly looking for brains to eat and started a cocktail party complete with sparkling conversation.

[Tom_Foolery]

11. I was shocked myself...

but I think some Bush people are looking for a reason to vote for Kerry. Maybe some of them saw something in the debate.

[TexasSissy]

10. WOW!!!

[alfredo]

12. We are getting good response here in Lexington Ky

Ernie Fletcher, our Repuke governor, is our best campaign asset.

[Tom_Foolery]

14. We have some pissed off teachers around here because of Fletcher. n/t

[alfredo]

23. Just keep him talking. Everytime he opens his mouth, Kerry

gets more votes.


Have you heard anythin new about Jim Bunning and Alzheimer's?

[AgadorSparticus]

16. Good news! If Bush wins, please fly your flags at half mast.

Folks, do me a favor. In the terrifying event that Bush wins the election, please fly your flags at half mast. It will be a sad day for America (and the world), and we democrats, independents and republicans with common sense need to openly display our sadness.

17. My wife has mentioned that several times. Welcome to DU!!! n/t

18. Man, I wish my dad would figure it out

I sent him an e-mail giving my impression of the debate (in a non-gloating way) and he replied saying,

"most pundits considered it pretty even. however the debates historically have not had a large effect on the result's of the election."

I immediately e-mailed back. Someone here had posted a long list of quotes from some 20 different pundits, all in favor of Kerry, as well as some of the poll results, all clearly in Kerry's corner. I said, "oh, you mean these pundits?" and then the list.

I also mentioned the JFK/Nixon debate which by all accounts was crucial to JFK's victory (should have mentioned Shrub/Gore for that matter).

What a fucking tool he is!

[sbj405]

20. Hold them to it. Keep reminding them of Chimpy's failures.

from now until the election. I think a lot of people changed their minds based on the debate, but I worry about a Rovian trick or October surprise luring them back to the other side.
