Is B/C04 starting to crumble?
I remember back with Carter/Raygun during the last week of the race, Carter realized he would lose. And he did, big time. With all the newspaper endorsements, the battleground state polls, the WP article on the worry hanging over the RNC powers-that-be, I'm starting to get the same feeling now about B/C. I'm not watching cable news, however, so I may have a tunnel vision viewpoint. But it's still nonetheless how I feel. It's like people are waking up and actually THINKING about the last four years. Am I wrong?

1. Nope, not in my opinion. As long as we work hard at GOTV
I think the fat lady has not only sung, she's outside the building waiting for her limo.

You can spell toast with one letter today. W

2. I don't know what's really happening
I watched Meet the Press and they all but called it for Bushco, imo. Then I watched Matthews and they all but called it for Kerry.

Polls lean this way, that way, or are split down the middle. People are talking about cell phones, new voters, and tricks at the polls.

All the big newspapers seem to be recommending Kerry. That's good.

I have no idea how this election is going to go. I don't believe anyone who says they do, either. It's all voodoo right now. We will not know until the fateful day.

It's a real nail-biter, man.

3. Sorry but I really have to disagree
The number of newly registered Democratic voters especially in the battleground states, along with the 18-24 year olds, and the undecided indicate that Kerry will win by at least 5%

6. I hope you're right
That would be great. I'm still not convinced, but I do hope you're right. This is one case where you could tell me "told you so" and I would be glad.

5. I don't think MTP called it for anybody
Ed Gillespie was spinning like a top, but I thought Terry put him in his place. It was pretty even.

7. What ever the polls say we are winning. We only have to keep up the fight.
Not just after we send the shrub packing but fighting until we kick every fascist parasitic company shill out of our government.

9. Boy, ya got that right
I'm sure they're already picking out the Impeachment Managers in the House. Personally, I think Kerry should invite them over for a beer. Mercifully, though, they'd be knotted up with hatred and fear because they wouldn't want Edwards as an incumbent to fight.

8. I Have To Strongly Disagree
It is the people who get most of their information from cable news that have tunnel vision. Avoiding cable news, as a news source, seems to actually increase ones knowledge of current events.
