5. You are correct
Two weeks before Ann Richards lost her race against W for Governor, nobody thought she could lose. Die hard liberal activists did not go to the polls because it was unimaginable that W would beat her. Yet beat he did.

For the longest time I thought only Texas progressives were so gullible or otherwise disorganized or at fault for this defeat. And then I watched the nation be duped and in turn, the world.

He has one heck of a machine and we have this frat boy backed into a corner now. He likely to come out swinging and in fact will play "dead" to pacify those who would go vote. Bush inspires complacancy if it will serve to make the progressives stay home.

Also,the conservative base generally attends a church on Sunday where a lot is said about our nation and duty and voting for God's candidate. On Tuesday, you had better go vote. It is likely a fellow parishiner will call to see you have. And on Wednesday at prayer meeting, everyone will ask if you did.

Progressives are generally less organized so we have to find other ways to hold hands and actually GET to the polls. I suggest a national Halloween Party....
