Gillespie prattling about how "Bush has 8% lead in early voting"

[npincus]

on CNN. Is that a load of horse shit? is he trying to fake us out? Last I heard, early voting was going our way in IA and FLA. Is the man full of shit or what? Anybody else see this?

[deadmessengers]

1. just say no

Looks like Ed's smoking crack again.

[DaveinMD]

2. he's lying

as usual. Kerry is leading the early vote in all the battleground areas.

[DemOperative]

31. his lips are moving

of course he's lying.

[March of Time]

3. Yes, but...

A lot of the strongest Democratic states don't have early voting.

[Randi_Listener]

4. Minister of Propaganda

That motherfucker is no better than Baghdad Bob.

[Tweed]

5. I think he meant Kerry

Or maybe someone told him that Bush was leading by 8% in early polls. Maybe that's how the Republicans work. They have souless staffers lie for them. They don't read the papers themselves.

[tuvor]

6. Only prats prattle. n/t

[deadparrot]

7. It's only because most of the states that have early voting

are solid red (a la TX). Faux's own poll showed Kerry had a five point lead (48-43) in swing states.

[high density]

8. I didn't see it on CNN,

but I suspect it's nothing but crap. For one thing many of the "early voter" states are solid red already.

[JohnnyCougar]

9. The vast majority of early voting states are solid Bush states

Bush should be up 10% if he wants to win.

[XanaDUer]

10. Ed needs to go out and buy a new chin and brain.

...

[fugop]

11. Don't know the numbers but

Many of the early voting states are red ones, like Texas. A general number for all the early states is no good. It's the state by state that would matter. Again, if Texas is overwhelmingly for Bush but others are close or for Kerry, it might skew such a number. It's the number of voters that counts, i think. The huge turnout is a damn good sign.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Believe Chimpy Is Winning 51-47 In Early Voters...

but early voting is occurring in twenty three states...

Bush won those state by eight points in 00...

He's a big nosed liar...

[sonicx]

13. Kerry leads battlegrounds. Bush leads overall...

i.e. Texas and co.

[Mr_Spock]

14. Thanks for passing this info from the Repukes on to us

:eyes: "Just say no"

[DemFromMem]

15. Maybe in Texas

But Florida is apparently showing KERRY up by 8 with early voters (see USA Today from this morning.

[bush equals idiot]

16. I forgot to put Gillespie in my capsule

so get in there.


along with Racicot, you peaked nose bloviating pig sack. Put a pointed hat on you and we got the wicked witch of the north from the Wizard of Oz.

Get in that capsule with Bush, Cheney, Askew, Gellman, Ashcrap, Rumnuts, and Condoleaker, so we can close it up and blast you all to Uranus.

[demokatgurrl]

17. in Crawford TX maybe, and in his dreams. n/t

[Borgnine]

18. Hopefully we'll soon see the last of Gillespie.

Hopefully the Republican party will soon shatter, and Ed can get that chin operation he so desperately needs.

[Roland99]

19. Baghdad Ed!

[AnIndependentTexan]

20. he's been drinking the Kool-aid

[d_b]

21. Spin, Goebbels! Spin!

[xultar]

22. For a Klu Klux Klan precinct n/t

[BootinUp]

23. Kerry will be greeted with shoes and republican ballots

Something like that,

[TexasSissy]

24. In some precinct somewhere, I'm sure he does. But since early vote tallie

tallies haven't been released, we don't know WHICH precinct!

[Lugnut]

25. It's Ed Gillespie

If his mouth is moving it's all horse shit.

[Mr_Spock]

26. I know - who the fuck would post this crap here - what do you THINK

the fuckin' Repuke master is going to say. :eyes:

[npincus]

28. now, now... no need to be hostile to a fellow DUer

if the post irritates you, find one you like better. We are all on the same side.

[Mr_Spock]

29. Use your head - haven't you got anything better to post ?

It's the night before the election and we need to hear what that fuck-face Gillespie has to say? What the fuck did you THINK he was going to say? How is this interesting or news to us here at DU?

[npincus]

33. I'll say it again- take a chill pill. Rather than criticize, why don't

you write a post that you consider 'sensible' or informative and don't condescend to others. After all, I am not posting for YOU- that's rather egocentric if you think so. Were I you and I thought this was so silly, I would find something better to do than take a comrade to task and start a pissing match. Let's see you write a post that you feel meets the standard you would like to impose upon me. I promise you, if I think your post is assinine, I will not be so rude as to tell you to "use your head". Perhaps that's how you talk to others in your daily life. I promise you, you won't get very far if that is so. Sometimes we become like the people we despise. Think about it.

[Radical Activist]

27. That isn't public information so

how the hell would he know?

[Zynx]

30. He made it up.

[Zen Democrat]

32. Ed looked a little forced. McAuliffe was just beaming.

McAuliffe wisely didn't do any gloating - just talked about GOTV. But I could see his eyes dancing!

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Must be the crack.

[VOX]

35. If Gillespie is including all the Mountain and Midwest states in his count

Then he may be right. Most of those states will be red whenever the votes are counted!

[Zero Division]

36. Because of the solid Red States, it could be. But IA and FL are solid for

Kerry in early voting. I bet the rest of the swing states that have early voting show strong leads for Kerry, based on IA and FL, and that's what counts.
