OBSERVATION: Absolutely ZERO Negative Kerry Stories...
the bushies are getting CREAMED left and right as we go into the last days and NOTHING about Kerry/Edwards.

not even a new Teresa gaffe. NOTHING.

the cablewhores have NOTHING but their 'polls' and then they have to deal with EXPLOSIVES (and lies) and all the rest...

hope this is not jinxing KE but... damn!

they got NOTHING.

1. Not jinxing at all!
The timing of these stories is not coincidental.

2. Hitting them with so many lefts they are BEGGING for a right
Yes they are on their heals. They probably had a plan for the last few days and they are forced instead to fend off fact after fact.

Sounds like a good close to me.

BTW- I don't know if this was covered in the last few days here but it took W until yesterday to respond to the Explosives story because they had to poll and focus group on which way to go. They decided to go with the old "They hate the troops" angle and it appears that W can cut and paste his own soldiers these days.

26. Volunteers
You should have seen the local DEM office last night. Busy as all hell with folks phone calling. Trying to get it in before the start of the SOX game; we'd figured we'd better stop then and not piss people off by calling folks in Maine in the middle of the game!

7. I think the point is that the 60 second coverage is of W fending off stuff
and not able to be on attack.

Really what is sadly happening is that the Kerry campaign has to report the actual news so that the news will report it. Seriously he (they) are a one man news agency and W&Co. are having to spin on the fly-something they aren't very good at, they like nice tightly packaged pre-polled issue campaigns.

11. drudge is trying hard to create a Teresa story
In an insult to the Cavemen everywhere, Republicans are outraged at this quote :


"The perpetration of certain myths that diplomacy and alliances are a sign of weakness is Neanderthal," Heinz Kerry said. "I never heard of teaching a child to make enemies so they can get along in the playground."

15. Isn't it beautiful to see * on the defensive?
Isn't it just?

Backpedaling, trying to ward off the reality that keeps zinging them.

It just warms my heart.

As they say 'round here: Best defense? A good offense!

17. ON THE RUN!
ON THE RUN (To the tune of "Still the One")

YOU TOOK THE COUNTRY WITH DIRTY TRICKS
THIS TIME IT'S YOUR TURN TO TAKE A FEW KICKS
WE'VE BEEN ENRAGED NOW FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
YOU'RE ON THE RUN AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE THE CLIMB

YOU'RE ON THE RUN, WEARING YOUR GOP FROWNS
ON THE RUN, A BUNCH OF CLOWNS
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

LOSERS LIKE YOU DON'T GET TO BE KINGS
YOU'RE A PNAC PUPPET, TIME TO CUT YOUR STRINGS
WATCHING YOU SWEAT, AS YOU'RE FORCED OFF SCRIPT
OOPS, THOSE EXPLOSIVES!, I BET YOU WERE PISSED.

YOU'RE ON THE RUN WITH HATE AND FEAR
ONE THE RUN WITH YOUR LIES MADE CLEAR
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU'RE ON THE RUN I HEAR THE FEAR IN YOUR VOICE
ON THE RUN, WE'LL SOON REJOICE
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

FLAILING, YOUR LINES ARE GROWING STALE
THE WIND AT OUR BACK, NOW A GALE
YOU'RE ON THE RUN AND YOUR EDGE IS GONE
ON THE RUN FROM A MAN NAMED JOHN
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU'RE ON THE RUN WITH THAT ZANY ZELL
ON THE RUN, HEADING STRAIGHT TO HELL
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU ARE ON THE RUN SO PLEASE LET ME SHOUT
ON THE RUN, THAT'S WITHOUT A DOUBT
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN..

no entorage, no handlers, no team to prop him up, no adoring crowds, no substitute penis in the form of an entire military, no team of aides walking behind him with shovels cleaning up the mess left in his wake, etc.

16. We heard and heard that Kerry was a great closer...
That seems to be coming true here in the final days.

It's been such a long road for so many of us, quite a few who had their doubts that we would be where we are today.

We need to take strength from the character of John Kerry and John Edwards; we need to reinvigorate ourselves to do the hard work that will be necessary from now until election day; and we need to remember that literally BILLIONS of people all over the world are watching and hoping that we can seal the deal.

Get out from behind the keyboard. Call you local Dem HQ. VOLUNTEER to do whatever is necessary. Squeeze blood from a stone to donate to post-election legal wranglings (which will likely be lengthy and expensive.) Call you friends and acquaintances and tell them why you're voting for John Kerry and why you will be happy to drive them to the polls on Tuesday.

NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's not FUMBLE IN THE RED ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE CAN WIN THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S SEAL THE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

20. it does seem odd
because they can and do make something out of nothing and can ignore Bush*s faults all day long if they want to.

24. The powers that be
have decided. Bush has got to go. This string of bad luck for BushCheneyCo is truly extraordinary. Kerry is a great closer, but he could not have orchestrated this himself. Big money and big media have decided that Bush is bad for business. Buh-bye, Bush.

And, karma's a bitch.
