OK - I'm cautiously optimistic and awaiting tomorrow

[DancingBear]

If John Kerry acts tomorrow in a fashion that all of us here hope for, I will be ecstatic.

We have been waiting through difficult times for the man to act like the man we put heart and soul behind.

If he comes through, my heart sings.

If not, my soul dies.

My money is on my heart, John - make it sing.

God damn it, man - make it sing.

[roguevalley]

I know. THere is so much wrong now and we need hope. I will go

toward hope. :)

1. Wm Pitt whispers and DU trembles

but I supported JK for a reason and I don't think he'll just walk away if there is an inch to fight

[seito]

9. He means to keep his promise

If you really know John Kerry, then you probably have known this all along. He is a man of honor, contrary to the wild allegations that fly around here.

[lonestarnot]

22. I'm with you fellow comrade in peace!

He's been in alllllllllllllllll along. He gets my honor vote! Can't wait until tomorrow!

[48pan]

2. Dont't get your hopes up

Recent history hasn't been too good.

[DancingBear]

5. This just in - Dewey defeats Truman

If you have to pee, don't do it here - OK??

[Jo March]

16. Amen. Isn't there a Kerry bashing thread somewhere for all

of these types of posts?

[Patsy Stone]

3. Said in a low, hopeful whisper:

I think he might turn that damned boat around and come get us.

[electropop]

31. nice metaphor! n/t

[russian33]

4. Pardon my ignorance, but I've been staying clear of politics..

..for a few weeks, what's supposed to happen tomorrow?

[Jo March]

6. Yeah - what happened? Dammit! DU: Miss a minute, miss everything!!! nt

[sabra]

7. Kerry is getting into the game tomorrow...

Not sure what that means though, but I like it :-)

8. If we told ya

we'd have to kill ya...


edit: tee-hee...

[Jo March]

14. Then I'd die happy! LOL

I just read Will's post. That is awesome! :bounce:

I'm off to build a shrine to Will....

[NAO]

10. Source for the hope for something to happen tomorrow (Thu 12/23)?

I've seen all sorts of whispers about the possibility of something happening tomorrow, but where did this idea come from? (a link to another post at DU does not count as a 'source').

Was there comment somewhere, or a story reported as a rumor, or a comment from someone 'on the inside'?

I am ever hopeful, but we've been told so many times that 'something is going to happen'...

[New Earth]

11. it was just a tip from William Pitt

that's all. he couldn't give out details.

[shraby]

12. A tip from Will Pitt is as good as gold.

[NAO]

15. Who is William Pitt?

[bobbieinok]

18. if you really don't know- he writes great stuff for truthout.com

[musette_sf]

33. We Progressives should wear

"Who Is William Pitt?" buttons.

Hey, it worked for Ayn Rand....

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. See the thread above with the link to the thread.

Will Pitt has an "inside" connection as a journalist. BELIEVE what he says. Be HAPPY!!!!!! :bounce:

[wakemewhenitsover]

17. Doesn't matter if you win or lose, John...

...as long as we know you're still in the game.

Of course, winning would be good...

[JackORoses]

19. Just like the Phoenix

and the Boston Red Sox,

JFK is rising from the Ashes

[senseandsensibility]

27. Welcome to DU

and may I say, I like your attitude?:toast: :hi:

[wakemewhenitsover]

28. Thanks. I like "Sense and Sensibility".

[senseandsensibility]

30. The novel?

Great! It's amazing how many Jane Austen fans there are on DU, and even literature fans in general. Enjoy DU! It's a wonderful place, if a little maddening at times.:-)

[AmerDem]

20. don't get too worked up about it

take everything with a grain of salt and if in fact any good news goes our way tomorrow, so much the better. If you expect roads paved in gold by the morning you are setting yourself up for a major let down.

[David Dunham]

21. Bush won and that's a fact. Nothing we can do to change that.

[lonestarnot]

23. And I wonder what you're going to say when you find out you have been

duped with a D? You may be sporting an attitude that looks like egg real soon!

[ZRB]

24. *twit* has won nothing.

The certification of this "Hellection" isn't until the 6th of January.

The election will end that day, but the fight to remove *twit* will rage on.

[AmerDem]

25. shrub didn't win

get that through your head first. Now, the chance of this scumbag keeping the office he stole for the second time are very high almost a sure thing but there is an up side. This mess he created is his to repair (and that wont happen). When everything is finally out in the open not only will Americans see how these criminals stole our government but we will come away with an election system that is fool proof and honest and we will take back every seat we lost in a shorter time then they were stolen from us. We are and always have been the majority.

[helderheid]

26. Have faith!

We'll have a First Lady Theresa Heinz Kerry yet!

[Cyclical]

29. Mrs. THK

Sorry, I'm really lookin' forward to President Kerry. But I must be honest: First Lady Theresa Heinz is probably the only thing I'd really be afraid of in that administration. I had a girlfriend once whom she reminds me of (only not quite as rich). All I can say is... eeegh.

Still, I've got everything that I can cross... crossed. :hope:

[musette_sf]

32. and Teresa scares you why?

If I could choose to have lunch with:

(a) a well-travelled, urbane, intelligent woman of the world with beautiful, brilliant children, or
(b) a chain-smoking murderess with bratty children,

I'd pick Teresa. Sorry that girlfriend thing didn't work out. Would more money have cured your fear?

[Cyclical]

34. Hmm...

HAHA... You know, it mighta just. But in all seriousness, I still think she's the better of the First Ladies who we'd end up with. Don't get me wrong. And I would much rather have lunch with her; the only reason I'd have lunch with Laura Bush would be if we were both in college and I was buying pot from her... except I don't smoke pot, and I think she's a horrible, twittish hag of a shrew.

I suppose it's the whole quasi-hypochondriac thing she has going. Most notable example I can think of is the time she skipped out on some hiking photo-op because her feet hurt or some such thing. I mean... it's one thing if it's just hubby and honey out for a day, but the man was running for President. You have to put up a unified front, even if you're forcing it all the while.

But I'd still rather see her in the White House than good-ol-gal drug-dealer shot-caller ball-squeezer tight-lipped bony-assed angry fundie Laura "Yee-haw" Bush.

[musette_sf]

35. For a Mass guy

you write a damn good country song!

"good-ol-gal drug-dealer shot-caller ball-squeezer tight-lipped bony-assed angry fundie Laura "Yee-haw" Bush"

If that ain't a hit then I ain't Colonel Tom Parker.

Um... oh, yeah, I guess I ain't Colonel Tom Parker. But it begs to be sung!

[DoYouEverWonder]

37. It's ashame you are afraid of strong, intelligent women

You don't know what you're missing.

I would love to see Teresa Heinz-Kerry in the roll of first lady. Just imagine what she could accomplish for the poor and oppressed people of the world.

[Patsy Stone]

36. Ooh I really hope so. Amen. n/t
