Non-cable ad note: Oregon being blasted by GWB at the moment

[swag]

Bush ads had not been plentiful, but they are now, clustered around local evening news.

Switched to DVD, but ran into Bush twice tonight.

On the up-side, people were after buttons and bumperstickers all day today - in my building, on the bus, and so on. Saw a few younger people on the Portland #8 who had just come off working for ACT but who were still trying to get some registrations on the bus. They were tired, but they wanted Kerry/Edwards stuff for their friends and families.

Time to reorder for one last blast come October.

VENCEREMOS!

1. GREAT! Bush is going to waste lots of money advertising here

The only reason we seemed like a "swing state" in 2000 was Nader getting 5% of the vote. He's going to get less than 1% this time around. Hell, he couldn't even fill an 1000-seat auditorium deep in SE Portland this year; in 2000, he packed the Civic Center with 15-20k.

Then there's the new OR unemployment numbers. That's not the kind of thing that gets a presidential incumbent "re"elected.

Barring some kind of catastrophic October Surprise, Oregon is Kerry country.
