1. but my neighbor told me last night
that FOX was the most balanced

I laughed because I thought she was joking - NOT - I feel your pain

I think things are going well even if I live in the red zone - just don't watch TV and just read the freeper posts that are lifted and posted here. :)

I was watching something this am and was easily able to spot the puppets feeding the sharks. It was kinda funny.

2. Solid lead in Ohio, advantage in early voting, Badnarik
will give us New Hampshire, because of conservatives angry at Patriot Act, etc. Even if Bush wins Wisconsin, we still win.

Ohio + NH= 24 electoral votes, and that's just the minimum scenario.

The return of Bill Clinton energizes Penn. Democrats enough for us to hold the state.

3. Reasons why it looks really good for us
1) Bush is showing signs of desperation. Why else would he suddenly annouce that civil unions are ok with him?

2) Polling shows us even, but they were wrong about who was going to win the dem nomination and who was going to win the popular vote in 2000. I think we're going to go landslide.

3) This one is anecdotal, but I know many repubs and none of them are supporting *, they are all supporting Kerry.

4) Kerry has done everything right. Great campaign. He's hardly rested these last few weeks and will keep going right up until election day. And have you seen the pics of the crowds he's attracting? Amazing!

5) We want it more. We have worked harder, faster, and smarter. Kerry, despite their best efforts, has not been "Gored".

6) Americans have had enough of this nightmare war in Iraq, and the news out of that country has been horrible for the last few days.

7) WE have the momentum. We really do. Now we need to keep it going. Don't get mopey now. We're just days away from winning our nation back.

7. Post this for Granny D to your mail groups, the effect will uplift! Doris
might just win on coattails and be our next Wellstone. Go for it!

LET’S WALK THE EXTRA MILE FOR GRANNY D!


Do you have friends or family in NH? Please make a phone call today and ask them to help Granny D get elected.

Granny D walked 3,200 miles across America for us four years ago, at age 90. Let’s walk the extra mile for her today!

Doris “Granny D” Haddock is running for the U.S. Senate in NH. As the most famous activist for campaign finance reform, she is not accepting any PAC money in this fight, including any money from the DNC where contributions from companies and individuals are merged.

Because of shortage of campaign funds, the campaign does not have the means to saturate the airwaves with commercials and buy a lot of radio time. We need grassroots action at its best now.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO if you live in NH to create a multiplier effect:

TODAY AND REMAINING DAYS:
• Send a contribution for the TV ad so we can air it this weekend. Go to www.grannyd.com or www.haddockforsenate.org
• Make a large homemade sign for your lawn or apartment window, using large letters : “GRANNY D FOR US SENATE! ( A wide magic marker and letters at least 6” high and ¾ “ thick are most visible, and orange day-glo poster board shows up great.) Post it in your window or yard as soon as possibl.e.
• Ask your neighbors and friends to call their family and friends in support of Granny D, and to ask those friends to do the same. Multiply your voice.
• Send a letter to the editor of your local daily paper now. Letters to the editor are free and powerful. A follow-up call can be made in two days if you don’t see your letter in print. Even if they don’t print your letter it may help motivate the editors to publish other letters in support of our candidate.
• Become the campaign in your town. Call friends and ask them to promote Granny D creatively, by word of mouth, and any creative means.

POLL SIGNS ON ELECTION DAY:
• On Election Day, we need volunteers to stand at precinct polling places (law requires you stand at least 100 feet from entrance) with your Granny D for Senate signs. You can do this in shifts, taking turns with friends. The busiest time is first thing in the morning and at lunchtime.
• Do “visibility” actions. If you see Kerry supporters standing with signs at traffic intersections, join them with your Granny D signs. It’s a lot of fun! And the public sees a presence for the candidates.

THE CAMPAIGN IS YOU! WE NEED YOU! PLEASE WALK THE EXTRA MILE FOR GRANNY D!

8. This made me happy...
Conflicted Evangelicals Could Cost Bush Votes

...Moore reflects a potential problem for Bush in Wisconsin and other closely contested states, where the GOP and conservative groups have invested heavily in turning out a record conservative Christian vote through mailings, voter guides, targeted phone calls and announcements by prominent evangelists such as Jerry Falwell and James Dobson aired on religious radio stations.
......
Some, such as Wendy Skroch, a 51-year-old mother of three who prays regularly at the evangelical Elmbrook Church in this heavily Republican Milwaukee suburb, blame Bush for failing to fix a "broken" healthcare system and for "selling off the environment to the highest bidder."

Others are like Joe Urcavich, pastor of the nondenominational evangelical Green Bay Community Church, where more than 2,000 people worship each Sunday. He is undecided, troubled by the bloodshed in the Middle East.
...........
A poll published last week by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 70% of self-described evangelicals or born-again Christians planned to vote for the president, down from 74% in the same survey three weeks earlier. That was not only a slight decline, but lower than the 80% to 90% support that Bush campaign officials had been forecasting.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/latimests/20041027/ts_latimes/conflictedevangelicalscouldcostbushvotes

Those folks are saying things that fit my personal definition of spirituality and that picked me up.
