I wish I had that URL for the graph on the Chimpster's popularity...how it spikes downward just as fast as it surges forward. If anything, over the past year, every uptick he has is followed by a downslide further than he previously was. This is called the "Dead Cat Bounce".
A year ago when he pulled Saddam out of the hidey-hole his popularity spike to over 60% and was back in the 40's when the first AWOL and Abu Gahbrl stories came out.
We just saw what a 70 million dollar PR blitz can do. Kerry was handcuffed as spending his campaign funds during the lag time between the DNC and the GOOP whorefest left him off the air while the GOOP opened up in full force. If Bunnypants didn't get a bounce, that would be the story. He did and now it's downhill time again.
The 1,000 death in Iraq is at hand and our media's fascination with numbers will surely mean examination of this awful invasion and how really stuck we are in this mess. Sadly, Team Kerry hasn't come up with a strong message to counter this...maybe just "anyone can do this better than Bunnypants" will work, but the campaign needs a simple message...a "Peace With Honor" type brand label on their approach in Iraq that would differentiate it from this regime.
9/11 is approaching and this is going to bring back questions about the investigation and how this regime fell asleep at the switch various times along the way. It should also be pointed out that the man responsible for "those building coming down" is still running loose and how many more terrorists this manchild has recruited though his ham-handed actions.
Kitty Kelley...she'll get enough ink...and hopefully a lot of ire and scorn from the wingnuts to make a big stink for at least a week. It'll be the yak of the gossip and comedy shows and I even see it spinning around hate radio for a while.
Here's hoping the Repugnicans believe these numbers and figure this election is a done deal. Let 'em see the finish line and think they're the hare...all they gotta do is cruise.
If Kerry pulls even in the polls in the next month, this doesn't bode good for this regime and they know it. It means Bunnypants is doing poorly in the battlegrounds...and this could help this regime collapse on itself. If Bunnypants is forced to run on his record, he loses. Kerry's job...get this campaign focused there. Our job...to do the same.
