I'm feeling pretty bummed, and angry, right now ...

[lancdem]

1) Kerry's vacationing while the Bushies tear him to shreds (I hope he knows what he's doing, but this makes very uneasy).
2) Polls seem to show Bush making a bit of a comeback.
3) This is what really pissed me off: New Quinnipiac poll for Pennsylvania, where I live, shows Kerry beating Bush by 1 percent, 45 to 44 percent (similar to other polls) but losing by 4, 44-40, when Nader is added (he gets 7 percent!!!) AAAARRRGGGGG!

Can anyone cheer me up? :(

[molly]

1. Yes -

read a POSITIVE and HONEST post....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x467102

on edit - if I lived out in PUG country, I would feel depressed too!

Cheer up - WE WILL WIN - BIG TIME!

[vi5]

3. Thank you.....

Admittedly it was a rare positive moment for me. I relate to the original posters feelings all too well.

[blm]

2. Books coming out soon - Joe Wilson's end of April.

Bill Clinton's in June and Kitty Kelly's in September.

Also...the Hunting of the President documentary will be out in September.

All of these should have attending publicity and make some big news that will be bad for BushInc.

[molly]

5. Will the "Hunting" be on cable or will you need to

rent it? I'll do whichever....

[OKNancy]

6. Isn't Mike Moore's

movie/doc coming out in Sept? It should be a doozie.

[blm]

7. See? Even MORE good news. ;)

I heard Sept., too.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

9. Don't forget Richard Clarke! (& Unger's "House of Bush, House of Saud") nt

[lancdem]

10. I just read Clinton's book was coming out next year

Whatever. :)

[OKNancy]

4. It's a long campaign

and Kerry and the Dems will do everything they can...and we have to as well.
As far as Nader is concerned, I wrote in an earlier post
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x466264#466271 that I did some reading and Pennsylvania is one of the hardest ballots for an independent to get on.

8. The bad news will be about Bush

We have only begun to see his lies revealed. He is going to have the summer from hell.

Then in the fall, he will find out his "separation date" -- mid-January.

And we will be partying. I will cry tears of joy unlike the tears of despair I shed at the last presidential election.

Visualize W GOING HOME and SMILE.

11. It's still way early to rely on polls. Besides it's better for Kerry not

to peak too early. Remember the public get's "bored" if one candidate get's too far ahead. So, we will probably see polls swing back and forth for awhile.

It's not bad news at this point...so perk up. Lots of work needs to be done. No one ever said it would be easy going up against the Chimp and a half asleep American public.

[Adelante]

12. Gen. Shalikashvili's endorsement of Kerry today

This is GREAT news.

[Meshuga]

13. Don't let polls bother you!

Back in July of 1992, 4 monts before the election, Ross Perot was beating Clinton and Bush in the polls. Should this cheer you up a little? :-)

16. Hmmm.. .wonder if Nader would change his mind and accept

the veep spot or a cabinet position?

I know a lot of folks don't like Nader, but he could whup Cheney's butt in a debate.

Kidding.
