I've got the swing state blues
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 05:24 PM by Dickie Flatt
The DNC seems to have dumped its entire ad budget into Minnesota; their ads are absolutely everywhere. Kerry is talking to me once every half hour. A mother has told me four times about her son who was killed in Iraq. I've heard Ashley's Story more times than I can count. A disembodied voice keeps asking me why I should take the Kerry risk when I'm alone in the voting booth. Wolves keep trying to chase me down. Art Linkletter is in my living room. I can't take any more! Enough, enough, enough!

1. Same thing in NM
although if early voting numbers are any indication, turnout is very heavy and that won't favor Bush.

I just hope Kerry's coattails are big enough to sweep Heather Wilson (R-Harpy) out of office.

2. And Iowa
Can't hardly answer the phone either. I'll be glad when Kerry is in the White House.

3. And between MoveOn.org, the Kerry campaign, the DFL, Senate District 60
and a few others I forgot to mention, I feel as if I'm getting spammed by liberals!

4. The funny thing is
I can no longer figure out what kind of laundry detergent to buy. It will be good to get the regular ads back.

5. too many calls
I was called by some national K/E phonebank and Wellstone action while I was working in the Kerry office calling other people. That was funny.

6. I am in IL and it is just the opposite here. No Bush, no Kerry
visits. The state will go Democrat, no problem.
