Ok, it's been almost a week since ED and the DEMS are too quiet.

The only people that seem willing to fight are talk show hosts Rhandi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Bev Harris and select few in Congress.

I am beginning to think that the Repugs are right, we are wimps. There is no fire in the belly.

We are being told to move on, we will get them in 2006.

That's stupid, because in 2006, they will win the other 5 seats needed to ram through their agenda.

Why is that we are always reacting to the Repugs, instead of being proactive.

I also don't understand this need to be classy, we are dealing with traitors to the constitution and democracy and we are simply sitting back and saying oh well, better luck next time.

Do you know why they do these rotten things, it's because they know we don't have the balls to call them on it and that we live on this perpetual hope that the country will rise up and throw these MF'ers out of office.

Calling all the brilliant Kossack minds!

Why are we crying about this election, when we should be using our minds to outsmart these crooks.

We say that they are incompetent and have mismanaged everything, yet they outsmarted us for the second election in a row.

Whether they stole it or they genuinely turned out their base, they have out done us again!

From what I have read on this board, there are some brilliant minds in Kossack world.

So I am calling on other Kossacks to devise a strategy to stop this train wreck called BUSHCO 2004.

DEMS deserve what they got.

Before anyone starts to rant about my headline. Give this some thought..

I worked on the Janet Reno campaign for governor in Florida and the parallels with the Dem presidential primary are quite evident to me.

After the 2000, I really had no energy to get involved again. But along came Janet Reno, I really thought she could really make a difference in Florida to improve education while in the process ridding us of Jeb and perhaps allow Floridians to have a fair vote in 2004. Read More

I have had enough. I admire those on this board and other Kerry supporters, who want to continue the fight.
But you guys don't seem to get it. It's not the matter of how Kerry ran his campaign, personally, I thought he ran a strong one, it is not about whether the youth vote came out, which I think they did, it's not even the matter of moral values, don't fall for that bullshit media spin. Read More

I am really excited, I just came from K/E legal training and we will be prepared for those Repug challengers on ED.

The real point of diary:

Aside from the 4 Kerry votes from my household, my cousins called me and told about the lines today at the polls. I have 5 cousins who are registered voters and they all voted for Kerry. They waited 4 hours to vote!!!

That equals 9 votes for Kerry from one family.

I also drove around to other pollsites and the lines were extending to the streets.

Don't believe too much of the hype you hear on TV. Things are under control in Florida. So for those of you who are wondering if Florida will pull it out for Kerry, WE WILL!!

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!

New LA Times polls are .... a little suspect to say the least!

I just read about the LA times battleground polls for FL, OH and PA.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/2004/la-na-poll28oct28,0,7555059.story?coll=la-home-headlines

They must be using the Gallup criteria for likely voters,

FL B (51)%
K (43)%
N (2)%
Undecided (4)%
pure BS and it seems like they are running away from this poll as CNN did with their Gallup polls. They are trying to lump them in with the rest.

OH K (50)%
B (44)%

Although this is good news for the Kerry camp, I really don't believe Kerry is up 6 points in OH.

PA K (48)%
B (48)%

I find it highly unlikely that PA is tied, pretty much both camps have acknowledged that PA is trending Kerry.

I know the polls don't matter much right now, but I think it's still important point out nonsense when you see it.

Time Zone factor of OH and PA on Election Night

I have been wondering for a while now, how election night will play out.

Three of the biggest prize in the EC could be decided in Kerry's favor before the polls in other states are closed. (OH(20), PA(21), NY(31))

What kind of effect will it have on other states in the central time zones like MO, WI, MN, MI, IA or FL for that matter?

IMHO, it would seem to have a snowball effect. Let's face it, politics are all about perception and if it is perceived that Kerry has won 2 of the big 3 battleground states already, will Repugs decide to stay home? Therefore, parlaying Kerry's perceived OH and PA success into a squeaker win in Florida and if OH and PA goes Kerry's way early, Dems may pull it out in Western States like CO, NV and NM.

At the very least, it will be a late night because some of Kerry's key states are CA (55), OR (7), WA (11).

This time factor could also work against Kerry in the same manner, thus underlying the importance of OH and PA.

I am almost beside myself. I just read that Pres. Clinton is coming to Florida next Tuesday to campaign for Kerry!!!
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/elections/sfl-aclinton21oct21,0,5812294.story?coll=sfla-news-electi on
I have had several opportunities to see Clinton in person and did not, but the heart attack scared me into realizing that I might not get another chance to see Big Dawg.

I have seen Gore, Hillary, Kerry, Graham, but never Big Dawg!

Not this time!!!

We're going to win!!!

I am not sure if these endorsements will come as a surprise to many, however, I think it is good news that these papers are willing to edorse Kerry with two weeks left in the campaign.

Ok I am putting my tinfoil on.

CNN just reported that there were "mechanical" problems with Edward's plane. Hmmm maybe Cheney is trying to send Edwards a message...

UPDATE Admittedly, my diary title may have been over the top, I was simply making the board aware of the CNN report, but I strongly believe, you can't put anything pass BC/04 or Rethugs, they will do anything to yield and maintain their power and right now they are like a desperate caged animal.
