The real race started today--Kerry is like Seabiscuit

[Dems Will Win]

Kerry is like Seabiscuit, who would only start to run after War Admiral pulled even with him.

Then Seabiscuit ran away with it!

Kerry really was on fire today and every day this month could turn out like today, given what's on tap with books documentaries, articles, investigations etc.

1. I like that analogy

and loved that movie too. I'm still cautiously optimistic mostly because we are right. The truth is on our side.

[A_Possum]

2. ha, good metaphor

"A roar went up from the grandstand as it was seen that the Admiral was devouring the space between himself and the leader...Making a supreme effort, War Admiral assumed a slight advantage."

"But Seabiscuit, as he has shown it so often, is not made of yielding material. He buckled to his work without flinching and through the next furlong, they ran locked in combat amid excitement that was undescribable." (sic)

"So they struggled, matching stride for stride, to the top of the stretch. With the advantage of the rail, Seabiscuit began to assume the offensive again."

"When they were at the last furlong pole, it was evident that the race was over. Both jockeys put up their whips and Seabiscuit, going strongly, the Admiral a very tired colt, the bay won by three open lengths."

19. That will be the 2004 race against WAR ADMIRAL

For sure...

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

26. No it's against War Criminal

[Catch22Dem]

3. I've known OF Kerry for many years

But I've never really followed him politically. I mean, I had no real need. Not my district, not even my state. However, those who are very familiar with his career say the way his campaign is being run, is exactly the way he's waged every other successful campaign. They say he comes out of nowhere and trounces the opposition. If the primaries are any indication, I'd say they're right.

[SharonAnn]

5. Hmmm, kind of like the Swift boat tactics against the Vietcong?

[Catch22Dem]

7. Very much!

LOL Good call!

[camby]

4. Love it.

Kerry does best when it's down to the wire. Remember Iowa.

[Dems Will Win]

6. GO, SEABISCUIT, GO!

Hey, we finally have a slogan that works!!

[Seabiscuit]

8. I ran away with it decades ago

Kerry still has a lot of catching up to do if he wants a run around the track with me! Hrumph!!!

But hey, he can train with me any day. I'll show him how to blow out War Admiral.

:evilgrin:

[Dems Will Win]

9. Seabiscuit to Seabiscuit!

GO, SEABISCUIT, GO!

[Seabiscuit]

11. The secret to beating War Admiral is:

1. Stare him in the eye and psych him out.

2. Eat more than the average horse.

3. Get more sleep than the average horse.

4. "He may be a small horse, but he doesn't know it. He thinks he's big". Self confidence and determination is all it takes.

10. My Boss compared me to Seabiscut..

at an Awards Function. I didn't like it.

[Seabiscuit]

12. I for one

would take that as a compliment! :)

[Dems Will Win]

14. You tell'em SEABISCUIT!!

GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT
GO BISCUIT!

[A_Possum]

13. Heh, why not?

I'd be flattered.

Then again, I love horses and most everything about them (though I could do w/o stall-cleaning.)

[Seabiscuit]

15. Believe me, when you're a horse

you're happy to have your stall cleaned.

[A_Possum]

18. Yeah yeah

Stuff it! ;-)

*as we say when we add more hay to the manure machine*

[Dems Will Win]

16. That's what the Swift Boat Liars are here for!

[Seabiscuit]

17. I think of them as

John Lennon's "Little Piggies" stirring up the dirt. I enjoy kicking them around when their stall cleaning doesn't measure up, which it never does.

[Seabiscuit]

20. Around my stall

they're known as the "Swift Kick Liars"

"In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damned good whacking!"

... John Lennon

[liberalpragmatist]

29. Actually, George Harrison's

Just thought I'd issue a little correction, there.

[H2O Man]

30. thank you, liberalpragmatist!

One of George's finest songs. John would get a giggle out of the error, though. Kind of like people telling him how much they loved "Yesterday." (I prefer John's version.)

[Nicholas_J]

21. Kerry is starting to

take Karl Roves advice. Attack the oppositions strong points.

The latest Kerry ads are beginning to question whetther Bush is doing a good job at dealing with the War on Terrorism at all, pointing out that Bush is seeking out terrorism where it is not, and doing very little to try to pursue the terrorists where they are. With the third anniversary of 9/11 coming upon us, I anticipate that Kerry will point out that while Bush has been trying to link terrorism with Iraq, none of the terrorists of 9/11 had anything to do with Iraq, and the terrorists that did perpetrate those events are still free and planning other other methods of attacking the U.S. in complete comfort.

[kimchi]

22. He gave it to the house of Saud today.

And the crowd ate it up.

[cheshire]

23. What's that song "There's no stopping us now"

[Seabiscuit]

24. Don't remember...

but meanwhile I'm so frustrated that this thread has sunk down to page 7 that I could just:

:kick:

[Seabiscuit]

25. This kick's for "toady" Cheney's filthy mouth...

:kick:

[MsUSA]

27. Dennis Kucinich used "Seabiscuit" too.....

I was handing out information sheets for Dennis on Kentucky Derby Day......does anyone know what Dennis has been up to???

[eridani]

28. Running for Congress

Also campaigning with Kerry and Edwards when they are in Ohio.

[H2O Man]

31. Kerry's going to win.

No doubt about it. The republican machine ain't even trying to win. They merely want to be close enough to steal it. But it ain't happening this time. We want the White House, and we want it now.

[ContinentalOp]

32. LOL!

A kick for Seabiscuit! :kick:
