The Chimp is imploding.
Kerry is pulling away in the polls at the last moment.

There is nothing but bad news for Bush.

Lets make sure we rub their noses in it on Nov. 3.

5. It won't be factual until Nov. 3.
Until then, anything can and will happen. Keeping your heads up and your eye on the ball folks!

3. which polls?
Zogby has me worried. yesterday's report had Bush ahead in PA and Oh and Florida! Yikes!

I know I shouldn't rely on polls. I know that they are statistically imbalanced...

20. check your sources
MSM likes to cite outlier polls that show only a close margin between Kerry and the Chimp or the Chimp with a slight lead. The media has grown fat on the bloated teat of the Cheney pResidency and they want to protect their boy so they can continue the honeymoon.

But as many polls as I've seen showing pResident Butt-Head up I see polls in the same states showing Kerry up. So don't sweat it as much.

24. Zogby's state polls are weird weird weird
They disagree with about every other one taken in these states...

His national now matches (or at least did at last glance) Rasmussen.

4. As to rubbing noses in it
Some of our unredeemable Republican co-workers and associaties, well, it would be fun to rub it in. But remember to keep your eyes on the goal; convincing someone a couple of months frmo now that Kerry was the right choice and that Republicans are short sighted bastards is preferable to takign a few minutes to piss them off on November 3rd.

23. I'm getting married on Nov. 2
And I'll be on my honeymoon that night watching. But I'm also setting up the VCR to tape for about 8 hours, just in case it's over by then and he concedes. I want to see that OVER and OVER and OVER again.

26. Republicans concede?
Some of these folks will still swear on their mothers grave that Dick Nixon was a good honest man. Don't get your hopes up for any mia-culpas from the people in that camp. People who live in fantasy often make up more when reality don't fit no more.

12. Fantastic rallies this weekend with Kerry, Edwards, Clinton and Gore
Not just Kerry having huge uplifting rallies in the next few days but lots of extra excitement and wonderful photo ops for the heavy hitters Clinton, Gore and Edwards as well! This will be a fun weekend for sure.

Meanwhile only bad news for Bush and shrill negative baseless attacks from him and Cheney.

13. Let's learn some lessons on what not to do from the right wing.
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 09:47 AM by gsh999
I would like to see us try to bring this Nation back together, rather than continuing the division which the right so purposefully achieved. I don't mean to take any crap from the right wing, but I do not want to engage in juvenile behavior like "my team won - your team sucks." The right wing disgusted me with their talk of "putting the adults back in charge" when they act like adolescents, even at the highest levels. Let's show the right who the real adults are, and hopefully bring enough of them to our side to marginalize the loonies who worship Rush Limbaugh.

Kerry can help us do this with his weekly press conferences. He knows he must speak directly to the People, because the corporate whore media will only distort his message.

Let's not act like adults after the election, let's BE adults.

14. Clinton tried that in 92. They laughed at him.
Don't give them a break.

15. I agree, but still let's make sure they see us taking the high road.
Don't be feeble and coast for 4 years. Own this Kerry victory and be proactive and positive with any commentary you make. If confronted about Bush just say that that dark era in American politics is over, let's discuss the future instead.

16. Hear hear. Nose rubbing is an ego trip, not a strategy.
Don't lose track of the big picture or the long term. It is not just about 2004, but about 2006 and 2008 too.

18. I want to see this sucker implode on live TV
in front of the world.

As in have a major break with reality -- on TV.

I wish him no physical harm come to him -- but I do want him to suffer a complete and total mental breakdown. But not before he is forced to acknowledge that he has fucked up everything he has tried to do and that no matter what he does his father will be a superior person to his useless, worthless humanoid form.

At some point he will have to accept DEFEAT at the hands of a better man -- President Kerry. And to do this his defeat has to be overwhelming -- if the early balloting are any indication -- I am beginning to believe that his defeat will be overwhelming -- no matter how many tricks Rove will play to steal the vote.

Is this hoping for too much?

22. Weekend Momentum Is Big
First, I strongly suggest if you can get away for an afternoon or evening, DO IT! See a movie, enjoy a fine restaurant...pamper yourself and relax, get the election as far out of your head as you can for a couple hours...cause Monday & Tuesday are gonna be major intense.

Several weeks ago someone noted this campaign would be based on two things. First, this election would be eventually defined as referendum on this regime...which it has. Second, it's on the tide of news events and the way people are feeling about this country.

All the polls from August or even two weeks ago will mean nothing when people start going into the polls in Tuesday and this weekend's events and news cycle will set the final tone that most of these people will be voting under.

Fortunately, yet unfortunately, the tide of news events have been nothing but bad for the past two months. This regime is nothing to run on and by attacking Kerry is running away. Everyone who will vote will have some negative about this regime that affects them...EVERYONE...from losing big money on their investments in the tax scandals to rising oil prices to the Iraq invasion to unemployment to rising insurance to flu shots to Janet Jackson's nipple and so on. On election day, in the privacy of that cube or booth, people will take the mood of the day, how they feel and vote accordingly. Thus I feel extremely confident, and I see this same feeling in others here as well as in the Kerry campaign.

This weekend News will still be dominated with the missing weapon at Al Qaqaa (cause people like Tweety like saying it in their most juvenile voice), the expanding Haliburton scandal (that could be the sleeper on Monday), gas prices topping $2.00 a gallon or more and an economy that's been stagnant for the past three months.

The Kerry campaign is finishing up on the high rode and on a positive push...just like other winning campaigns. Get ready, Tuesday could be the most gratifying night of our lives.

Cheers!

27. I think there'll be another news bomb tomorrow
just in time for the Sunday news cycle.

There seem to be a lot of vengeance leaks coming from the bureaucracy.
