7. This is sarcasm, right?
Polls show a dead heat at worst and a few have Kerry ahead now by 3 or 4 points. The electoral college is very close. And Kerry will have just as much money as Bush when the RNC ends.

I know I keep turning on the news, half-expecting to hear that the VP has had another heart attack and is being replaced by Ahnold.

18. For what it's worth..
I just came back from a dem meeting in Missouri. We're a rural county that generally votes republican,but tonight we had the largest turn out that anyone there could remember. Every seat was full (in a room that seats maybe 300) and people were not only standing in the room itself, but had spilled into the halls. Normal attendance for a dem meeting in this area is 10-20 people, so this was huge. The most amazing thing was that there had been no special advertising or anything. Most of the people there had individually sought out their own information on how to become involved with the local dem organization, and the crowd was fired up and ready to work.

I have never seen anything like this in my life, and I do not accept that it's not a much better predictor of the outcome of this election than some possibly misleading poll questions.

I also heard at the dem meeting tonight that Kerry and Edwards had written Missouri off today as being 'unwinnable'. Don't write us off yet. I've talked to an awful lot of repubs who are planning on staying home, and an awful lot of dems who are willing to do whatever it takes to win.

36. Thanks lancdem...
I'm glad they're still buying ads. Apparently it was on the news or something that they didn't think we could be won,cause some of the people at the meeting had heard it this evening. Hopefully the source was wrong.

25. "What's you talking about Willis"
The RNC loves it when we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off.

Kerry is going to win!

39. Trumad..
this thread almost gave me a heart attack, especially with that Drudge 15-point bounce story. And I almost never freak-out. :crazy:

Thanks for the eventual moment of relief. I feel much better about the race now. We can do this! :party:
