1. I really have to say
and I admit to be being biased but I think we are, we're making inroads, getting new votes, etc. I really must say I don't see as much Bush-Cheney stickers as I do Kerry-Edwards and this coming from the state that hasn't gone dem since 64, granted I do live in the more liberal part of it but my district went 41% for Gore, I think it could go for Kerry perhaps.

2. Kerry supporters are more rational and passionate
there is a cadre of kool-aid-drinking bushturd supporters who would fall on hand grenades for their idol.

3. I can't watch * rallies much but those people are depressed. We are so
elevated in our hope and our candidate. Kerry is like a superstar. * represents a Chistian Moral Leader( calling them all sinners).

5. In my opinion...
Kerry supporters have either:

1) Thought-out the pros and cons of each candidate and decided Kerry is the better of the two.
2) decided Bush is so incompetent that anyone would be better.


Bush supporters are:

1) brain-dead sheep who like being told what to think.

6. Bush Voters May be More "Dug In" and Harder to Persuade
but Kerry supporters are definitely more enthusiastic this year.

7. I'd say Kerry's. Shrub
supporters are just plain fanatics, waiting for the the instruction of when to drink to koolaid.

8. I would say Bush supporters simply because
they are a relatively united front. Many Democrats, however, take the 'anybody-but-Bush' approach. It could have been Kerry or any number of others, but Bush people really love Bush.

9. I disagree.
I live in Texas, and even people who were staunch Bush fans just a year ago are starting to see through the facade. Of course, many of them will still vote for him, but his star is fading. I don't see the enthusiasm people had for him in 2000.

12. That's 'cause Bush is a salesman ;sounds good when he there then if
you can get some space to think you realize what he was selling was expensive nonsense.He was taking you for all he could get.
Yeah, see it's starting to make even more sense when you stop and think. That's what irks me about the Media, They don't stop and think about the facts and what has happened in the past and weigh their thoughts. They just say or print the buzz. My what a silly bunch of scared ninnies.Bush has them running from fear to fear.
That's another reason I respect Kerry. He thinks and he represents us.He doesn't want us to get wrapped up in fear. A smart President can share truths with us and we can protect each other instead of being afraid of each other.

11. Kerry supporters seem more positive
and enthusiastic. I see a lot of cockiness and arrogance from Bush supporters. A Kerry victory would lead to an emotional celebration for Kerry supporters. I have a feeling Bush supporters would gloat if their guy won.
