A "landslide poll" for Bush....
... that's just laughable to look at. WTMJ Radio in Milwaukee, host to a couple of virulent right wing talkers, has a straw poll on its web page. As of right now, out of 13,073 votes cast, Bush has 95.4% of the vote. Kerry has 3.6% and Nader has 1%. It's kind of like when Kosygin and Breshnev ran for election. And I bet the righties look at that and say, "See? See? Kerry hasn't got a chance".

1. I caught that
Cracked me up, actually.

And greetings from another DU Wisconsinite! I'm from Waukesha. There are quite a few Milwaukee-area people here.

4. Cool! Do I know you offline?
Were you at Libby Montana's last weekend?

(BTW -- thanks. Mixed emotions about the campaign and all. Sometimes, I miss it. But at least now we can openly discuss the other two candidates, and heap the required ridicule on one of them...)

2. I have a mind to go cast a vote for Bush...
just to make their poll look even more like Saddam's last election.

8. Um, let's not.
Let's leave the multiple voting to the Freepers. It's not called "freeping" for nothing!

If we lose, we lose, no big deal. Besides, they're just asking "who will win" not "who will you vote for". Big difference!
