My whole street (50% *) in 2000 is going with KERRY. . .
I canvassed my neighborhood the last two nights - gave yard signs, bumper stickers and buttons.

Good news from my street! All voting for Kerry when 1/2 went to * in 2000. War and economy were the top reasons for the switch!!!

Hey . . .its only 18 homes and 30 voters (and in Montana - not a swing state) but its a good thing that these people have seen the light.

Tracy might even beat Rehberg in the House!!!

3. I was noticing the exact same thing on my block in Atlanta
about 40 homes. 0 Bush signs, about 12 Kerry/Edwards signs.

9. I live off Clifton road, a mile - 15 minute walk - to the
Goizueta Business school. So its exceptionally liberal being near a University. You know, people that actually think about shit.

4. Are they really voting for Kerry ...
Or is it the type of frustration that might make them just sit this one out?

7. Good question
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 09:24 PM by bigskydem
I will be out there again on Nov 1st reminding them. I think they will vote. I have been doing periodic lit drops on Kerry's message and Pimping for Kerry every weekend at soccer games, farmers market, swimming pool, all over. They think I'm Kerry Krazy, but they are getting it now.

14. About that Time cover - print it out
and put it over the cover of an actual magazine and leave it on your coffee table. Then do what I'm doing - waiting for the 'I love *' neighbor who always comes over to gossip. I can't STAND her so of course I can't WAIT for her to see 'Bush Resigns' on the cover of Time. LOL. :evilgrin:

Heck, I have one copy on the fridge, one in my bedroom on the mirror and of course it's my desktop! His face makes me :puke: but the headline makes my heart go ZING! :)

5. Congress matters.
Even if * steals it again, a different proportion in Congress could get him out. Because Georgie won't stop, and without the restriction of having to get elected......God help us all.

12. Where in Montana are you?
We could take the governorship and take back the legislature in Montana. Montana could become a blue state again!

15. This is why I think "polls"
are nothing more than media masturbation.
