Stop watching cable news, okay???
I don't watch them, and my blood pressure is just fine. But I read the posts here and too many people are going ballistic.

Remember how far Gore was back about this time in the 2000 race?

Which pollster called the 2000 election? Zogby.

Zogby is the poll that Rove pays attention to.

Follow the Zogby tracking poll, out early each morning. Forget the rest.

And stop watching the media whores. It's not worth it. They don't know anything more than anyone else. And their bias is getting awfully tiresome.

4. nail on the head = hit
people here need to chill a bit.

i think very few people have their opinions swayed by the jabbering bobbleheads on cable news.

and in the long run these new biased polls showing bush ahead are good for Kerry. it will just get the vote out.

Kerry won't beat Bush on the air. But he'll pound him on the ground.

6. Except for Olbermann
I turned off CNN ages ago.

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC is worth watching, though.

9. Our dish went out yesterday and they won't be out to fix it
until a week from Saturday (I did not want to have to take time off work).
I figure I will use it to my advantage. I have phone banks to work, dem meetings to attend & doors that need knocking on.
No news until 11/2/04, and then just to hear FOX call it for Kerry.

10. Problem is that it won't help.....
They know what they want and how to get it.

They are just as relentless as the GOP....and are an extension.

They are hurting America....and they don't give a dog or rat's ass about it.
