Could this week have been any WORSE for Bushco?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 04:22 PM by newsguyatl
-losing momentum in the polls
-ugly ad flap
-his opponent turning RECORD crowds
-fbi investigating halliburton
-400 tons of weapons missing in iraq
-obl re-appears, serving as a reminder of bush's #1 failure

i'm hoping kerry jumps on this obl stuff QUICK!

get in front of the message... preferably BEFORE the nightly newscasts, heading into the weekend.

2. OBL didn't just remind us of B*sh's failure, he blamed him, too.
Amazing. Then he endorsed him. MORE amazing.

7. OBL mentioned "My Pet Goat"
Could that be the worst smackdown of Bush ever?

Yes, I believe that it could.

11. I thought it was the most powerful one ever considering the source, yeah!

I sputtered all over the place when he said it. Not laughing, but in complete shock. "He didn't just say... He didn't.... Naaaaah, he couldn't've! DAMN!!!!"

I'm gonna need DAYS to get over this. No lie! If I had been here before the broadcast, I would've known it was coming. I just walked in at the exact moment it went on! No preparation. YIKES! Not a fun feeling!

4. No...and neither could have been their reaction
It's just amazing to watch them continue to tell us that what we are seeing is NOT what we're seeing.

Even Larry King -- LARRY effin' KING! -- last night had to say to Marc Racicot: "Are you saying that the videotape (of the IAEA seals) is wrong?"

9. OBL isn't gonna do jack to the election

Look, if anyone switches to vote for Bush, it will be balanced by people switching to Kerry and the undecideds now firmly in Kerry's camp.

The young and minority GOTV movement could care less about OBL.

Also, Bush is on the DEFENSE yet again.

6. don't forget
the 82 different excuses for what happened to the explosives
the fbi investigating halliburton
economic growth lower than expected
oil still above $50/gallon
gas still near or above $2/gallon

we could keep adding to this list, i'm sure...

8. losing momentum in the polls?
What evidence do you have of this?

I wish you were right but the Wash. Post poll now has him at 50% with a 3 point lead and other polls are pretty much where they were before the week started....a tie.

12. I see the press
Running with the OBL story trumps all those others on your list that's all we will hear in the press for a while. Still not sure to whose advantage it turns to though.

13. Connecting them together
Not only is Osama still out there, but we've also got tons of missing explosives. With the viewer to make the obvious connection that Osama may have them. It'll be okay.

14. It's Disgusting To See How Many Threads Are Devoted To This Osama

Once again, DU'ers prove they're really aren't so smart after all.
