Fineman on Imus: My gut tells me Kerry wins

[BeyondGeography]

Sees more enthusiasm at the Kerry rallies and on the Kerry side.

Also thinks the Republicans blew it by challenging new voters in OH; made them look afraid.

For what it's worth...

1. Just wait

By the time Hardball starts tonight he will have Bush winning.

3. Howard is a loyal Bush sychophant so this bodes well for JK.

4. he's a friend of Al Franken tho, i wonder...probably just goes with winner

[Bush was AWOL]

5. Fineman was very positive towards Kerry winning

I'd say he's joined the crowd of realist Republicans (Tucker Carlson, Stephen Hayes, and Craig Crawford) who think Kerry will win.

He said "Kerry's a fighter", and overruled his campaign about the strategy in the final week. The campaign wanted to go positive, but Kerry being the fighter he is wanted to keep his foot on Bush's throat.

6. Howard "the rock" Fineman

What a guy to have in the foxhole with us, we can really count on him. I mean this guy never wavers!

7. Bow Tie says Kerry will win also.

Did Stewart get to him? Force him to have a conscious?

8. I really had to laugh, though, when Imus told David Gregory

that Kerry would WIN! No doubt about it. It's in the bag. Done deal. How, asked Gregory, are you so sure? I just know, sez Don....I have my sources. And I'd go to jail just like Judith Miller to protect 'em. Kerry's going to win. Gregory: But...but just a few weeks ago you didn't think so. Imus: Things change.

I'm assuming he had this brilliant flash of insight after the Fineman interview. Imus really needs to get over himself.

I thought there wouldn't be anything that would make me laugh for the next 48 hours. This did. Thanks, Don!

(And, BTW, Fineman IS right. Ken Blackwell and the Ohio GOP have done themselves NO favors in this state.)
