1. You're in trouble
Did you hear the woman's comment to Bush when he was leaving after his speech to the Unity journalists? He was passing through the crowd and you could hear him greet someone and ask, "How does it look in Orlando?" The reply, "You're in trouble." How great is that?

3. CNN just had a segment on campaign issues
and included Nader's opinions along with Kerry and that other guy.

Made me wonder why they didn't list LaRouche's platform, or at least the Green Party. How about the Workers Socialist League, or any of the other third parties?

Featuring Nader as the only third party candidate should be viewed as discriminatory.

4. CNN is propping up Bush
Of course they will only focus on Nader.

5. Just yesterday
Florida was listed as a Bush state on that site. Forget which poll that was.

6. Yesterday, Sean Insannity tried to debunk that poll.
He said that only 37% polled were Republicans. The rest were Democrats and Libertarians.

7. Here's the original
http://www.americanresearchgroup.com/fl/

"These results are based on 600 completed telephone interviews among a statewide random sample of likely voters in Florida. Of the 600 likely voters, 39% are Republicans, 45% are Democrats, and 16% are not affiliated with any party or affiliated with a minor party."

First, he lied... it's 39%, and the others were not all Libertarians.. a party that MAYBE accounts for 0.5 percent of votes. But what is the breakdown of party affiliation in FL? I'm no statistician, but it seems that if this distribution matches the actual breakdown, then there's no problem. He was trying to make it sound like 60-odd percent of the people surveyed were Democrats. Manipulative sleaze bag.

that he will be implementing for the Nov 2 election down there in the Sunshine State.

9. I used to see nothing but BC 04 stickers
When driving around town (good 'ol Orlando), but lately there have been more and more K/E stickers. I'd say it's close to a dead heat here. More and more students at UCF are becoming active (repug and dem), which is good, so hopefully that'll give us an extra boost.

When I went in to work on Friday (I work at UPS), the teamsters had a little tent set up in the parking lot, and they were giving stuff out. I was late, so I couldn't stop. On my way out that night, I stopped by, and they asked if I was registered to vote, to which I said yes. I asked if they had any swag to give away, and they had already given out all the "Teamsters for Kerry" stuff. :(

I'm sure as November gets closer, they'll have more :D

10. Woo-hoo! Wowzeewowwow! Hip hip hooray! They were almost tied last week.
It is absolutely terrific that Kerry has pulled ahead by a whopping 7 points! This is a grrrrreat sign!
