KERRY for President! Not happy with that? Focus local!

[mb7588a]

The voters of several states have spoken - John Kerry for President.

He's got a 7 point margin over George W. Bush. Every exit poll says he's John Kerry is the most likely to beat Bush, and the most electable among the Democratic candidates. He's the only guy right now that can beat Georgw W. Bush outside the margin of error.

Don't give up the fight for your guy, don't stop the attacks on my guy (Unless they're unsubstantial garbage...) - it all makes us as a party stronger and more ready to take on the evil Rovebots.

If you don't like Kerry and don't feel like whole-heartedly supporting him - don't tear him down too much, but do put all your positive political energy into a local race. George W. Bush isn't the only enemy. The House, Senate and Governor offices are littered with useless, shameless, profiteering, immoral conservative assholes. LET'S GO GET 'EM!!!!!!

1. I'm going to find out who's running against Tom Delay

and send him (her) a few dollars

[mb7588a]

3. That is absolutely one of the best things we can all do.

We all have to find out who our local guys are and send them a small chunk of confidence from our wallet. It's not just ABB, it's ABC (which they can't recite..) - ANYBODY BUT CONSERVATIVES

[adadem]

41. No matter what

we must all get behind the candidate challenging DeLay...once that person is chosen we here at DU must really get moving. Yes we must work locally but the best thing we could do for our country, after getting rid of shrub is to send DeLay back to his exterminators office.

2. South Carolina and Oklahoma disagree

;)

[JohnKleeb]

37. Yea but is it still true Kerry cant win down here

I think he can. He also did fairly well in SC and OK, both states he didnt campaign much in. It aint over but Kerry has some nice momentum going, and I think I can see it coming to my state.

4. We in IL intend to take back a Senate seat.

We will send a SECOND Democrat to the US Senate in November! :)

[mb7588a]

6. That's the spirit!

Every one of these local dems will be taking their message against Bush, a message that is infaliable. We can definitely gain some seats on it.

[Tweed]

31. Who do you like in the Senate primary? I'm a Hynes man

[Padraig18]

40. I'm undecided.

I like Obama and Hynes both, and can't make up my mind (yet) about which one to support. Either would make an excellent senator, and both are highly articulate and just plain look good. What to do, what to do...? :shrug:

[sandnsea]

5. Humility

He's been saying it for months. Let's show some here. This process is just beginning. Edwards, in particular, is looking DAMN strong!!

[seaglass]

7. Not nearly over yet. n/t

[mb7588a]

8. I didn't say it was...

just an ad for our guy. He's still got a lot of fight left.

The other guys should stay in, and stay focused on beating George Bush. The more credible voices going against Bush, the better for the party.

[AntiCoup2K4]

9. The voters of most states haven't had their say yet.

And it's not over until they do.

[GOPBasher]

10. That was diplomatic of you.

I'm not a Kerry guy as of right now (Clark supporter), but if he's the nominee, he'll be my favorite candidate in the history of the world. To me, there's nothing in the world more important than beating Bush. Every single leftist will need to vote for one person for that to happen.

11. Hello Ohio. Your house needs cleaning.

http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/02/020304ohioBan.htm

I post that in the spirit of taking things local.

[mb7588a]

12. That is just awful.

The moral conservatives are THE FUCKING DEVIL.

[dtseiler]

13. Wisconsin 6th Needs a Dem Candidate

As far as I know, Tom Petri (R) is still unopposed this fall. He ran unopposed in 2002 as well.

Now especially with all of the manufacturing jobs (a LARGE constituency in this part of Wisconsin) going overseas and south of the border, I can't believe the Dems wouldn't get something going here.

[Lauren2882]

14. Right on.

I just can't seem to make myself get excited about Kerry, but if he gets the nomination I will have to come to terms with the fact that he's the guy. But I will be more likely to get out there for a local candidate that I'm excited for ... which is something we should all do. Plus, turning out Democrats for any race helps getting rid of Bush!

[Raya]

15. Good Thought. But We Are still fighting for the Nomination.

[Egnever]

16. If Kerry beccomes president

I will be focusing all my efforts on building up a third party. I will be through with the dems forever after that.

[mb7588a]

17. even if he beats Bush?

That's sad for us. :(

[Egnever]

18. Doesn't he have to beat bush to become president?

Honestly I don't think bush has a hope of being re-elected unless Kerry is the nominee or of course sharpton. Baring those two any of our remaining candidates could easily beat him.

Even rush Limbaugh is bagging on bush at this point. He has succeeded in pissing everyone off not just Dem's.

I am sick of the Dem's performance the last three years buckling time after time on everything except a handful of judges. The majority of them no longer come anywhere near close to representing me and Kerry is the poster child for Washington career politicians collecting our tax dollars raising their wages and screwing the rest of us time after time.

I sat and had to listen to this puke talk about how he fought against the prescription drug benefit. Knowing full well the reality is he showed up for the cloture vote, voted against cloture then left town. KNOWING that Daschle had a plan to go around cloture and take the bill on by using a point of order. This was planned and KERRY didn't know jack about it or didn't give a flying fuck and went on his merry way anyway after casting a vote contrary to the Dem's plan and then leaving.

To hear this pile of political garbage stand on stage and say he fought against it is a slap in my face and a bold faced lie!

No if this horse faced lying bore becomes president because the DLC decided he was the one that would leave them in power they can kiss my ass goodbye forever.

[Hippo_Tron]

19. That handfull of judicial nominees will matter...

Considering the fact that there will be a handfull of controversial judicial nominees in the next term and they will be nominees for the Supreme Court.

[countmyvote4real]

20. That's a new one. Why won't anyone call him out on that?

It's much more issue oriented than botox.

[Egnever]

22. Clearly the wow factor is much more interesting than the details

Regardless this guy is a boldfaced liar and political oportunist should he get the nod my faith in politics will be seriously damaged.

[Algorem]

21. snore.

[tobinov]

23. my wife kicks me out of bed for snoring...

...she is clearly not your wife, however, we would all agree that we want to keep peace in the house, so...

Kerry may not be your guy but we both want to win the White House, yes?
Alrighty, lets win it and make peace...

[Algorem]

24. Focus national&local,defeat Kerry,Bush.

35. I'd like to stick my finger in your chest and find

out what makes John Kerry 'THE ENEMY'

[Algorem]

39. "yawn."

[mb7588a]

42. He woke up!

So what it is it that makes him "THE ENEMY"?

[tobinov]

33. better yet, Algorem...

Educate me as to why Kerry represents a threat to this country on the level of Bush.
Educate me who would better serve our country.
Educate me who has the likelihood of being elected President in 2004.
Educate me.

If you are going to really focus nationally or locally--you had better be able to educate a single, solitary voter asking you why your alternative is better choice...yes?

[Myra]

25. Not happy with Kerry, am focusing locally. WA for Clark on Feb 3!

Count on it.

[dawn]

36. Good point. I'm definitely focused on keeping Boxer in the Senate.

I'd also love to help get Dems elected in my Republican-dominated district.

[mb7588a]

38. There are a lot of Dem. Senate seats up for reelection
