Bush has little room for error now -- must win Wisconsin
Bush is writing off Ohio. Their strategy apparently is to replace those electoral votes by concentrating on Iowa, New Mexico and Wisconsin.

In order for Bush to win this, he is going to have to win Florida. Plus, he must take Wisconsin and either Iowa or New Mexico.

So if we win Wisconsin, Bush is toast.

1. Early "numbers" from Iowa suggest an energized Democratic base

3. And that strategy also assumes
That Bush wins Nevada, Colorado, West Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas and Virginia.

19. All but Nevada
are probably a good bet. We get a break in CO if the ballot initiative passes (4 more EVs for us).

6. Has Junior really written off Ohio?!? I hadn't heard that before.
Isn't either * or Cheney visiting Ohio between now and November 2?

Maybe they'll send in reinforcements...Poppy and Babs!

7. Bush hasn't been to Ohio in weeks and has just one stop planned
The rest of his schedule is mostly Iowa, Wisconsin and NM.

13. Let's be factual here; he was in Canton the other day.
I do agree that they are in some trouble there, but they have been campaigning in the state.

That's why they weren't going there more.

14. The CEO of Diebold promised Bush those electoral votes
he may be able to deliver.

It's not about who casts the votes, it's all about who COUNTS the votes!

17. Diebold wont be able to deliver in Ohio
....as Ohio still has punch cards this year.

Other things are going down, here, though....

8. And I presume this means
they have written off Minnesota. (unfortunately the ad market for the Twin Cities hits Wisconsin, so we'll probably still see ads.)

15. As Wis neighbors keep swinging blue, the chances of * taking it slip away.

16. If Kerry wins Ohio, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, he's president.
Wisconsin is a MUST win for both sides. Of course, if Kerry can overcome Jeb, and win Florida, he doesn't need Wisconsin. But, I wouldn't count on that.

C'mon Cheeseheads, do your part for the country and the world: dump Bush*.

18. Kerry will be in WI twice this week
Green Bay on Monday & Madison on Thursday (w/ special guest The Foo Fighters).

Michael Moore has been stumping across WI all day.

Our local office has been lining up volunteers for the last push. Major phone work today. My wife is even taking our kids out canvassing this week.
