9. we're beating the piss out of them at everything except politics

yes the facts are on our side, but the mic is on their side. They are controlling the perception and the perception is, effectively, reality.

I hate to contribute to the gloom, but my father said today "It doesn't look good for Kerry" and he is someone who is seldom, if ever, wrong.

That doesn't mean it can't turn around though.

My mom is trying to win votes of friends and relatives over in Ohio. I have never seen a time when people I knew are... well even some of my own relatives are brainwashed.

The image problem is that Bush is enjoying "can do no wrong" trust from his supporters. Even if Grahm forced him to admit that the Joint Chiefs committed 911 to get the nation to go to war, but we "really needed to" - I bet %35 of registered voters would stay on board.

I give Kerry credit though. If he gives us a good shot and doesn't stand for being Al Gored - evenif we lose - I'll feel good about having been represented, at least.
