Your point is valid, but I don't think that many people will see this. Daily Show watchers are savvy enough that the know to vote no matter what.

10. Now that is something being missed |
|
The winning mood does generate a landslide and that is something being hidden from the misdirected news treatments.
Besides the incredible endorsements the discouragement or complacency tactics are missing. The other side is scared, ours is practically jubilant.
The news people in this case are out of the loop, as they usually are in a food fight between their customers. Just as all newspapers give the impression the debates were an even exchange of ideas and miss the laughable Bush meltdown, so too their general stance before a controversial election.
Chicken-feathered, rubber spined, chained to the administration, there is no real news organization at all. So how exactly would a pollster present his findings to such a forum anyway? They want murk subservient to the current power gods, they get murk. The candidates want internal polls for the truth, they get it and can't pretend it ain't so.

Trust the kids. They're not about feeling secure. They're about feeling strong and powerful and they've just caught on that they matter, their voices must be heard, and that it's very cool to go to the polls.
The kids are going to swamp Bush and come out for Kerry. Big time.
I'm telling you - it's gonna be a Kerry win, easily.
And all those fucking pundits on the cable "news" shows should be lined up and shot. I am so sick of them. They're the perfect Republicans - say whatever the hell you want, but you don't have to be accountable for anything when you're wrong.
They'll be on Kerry's ass even before he's sworn in. Watch.

12. The way he phrased it, it should encourage votes for Kerry |
|
the media shills are under instructions to say its the Shrubs race anyway, so they'll probably ignore it. I thought the way he explained it, that it makes it seem all the more imperative to get out and vote for Kerry - talking about people deciding at the very last moment who to break for and that it makes it hard to predict. But that was just my inexperienced take on it.

14. Yes. Zogby said it would be very close, so they will stay home. |

17. This is almost getting to be absurdly humorous to me |
|
any kind of good news for Kerry gets an immediate "oh no what if?" from someone with a low post count.
It's so weird!

I'm just one of those people who worry about everything. I could not watch the debates, I can't listen to the news, I'm a nervous wreck. I get all my information here and AAR. You guys are the best thing for my nerves and spirit!

19. We've come too far for that, but... |
|
I totally understand the worry, and I will not ridicule it, because the stakes are so freakin' high here that there is great cause to worry -- losing is just too terrible to imagine. 4 more years of Bush? If you're not worried about that on some level, you are much more evolved than I am.
So yes worry is appropriate. But I do NOT worry about the young people staying home. They care deeply and are energized this time, and the GOTV effort is very very organized.
