Digging the Dirt
The worms at DemocraticUnderground.com are disheartened to learn that moles also dwell beneath the surface. Someone pointed out to them our item yesterday in which we quoted a post from one "saracat" of Phoenix about his/her/its discovery, during an attempted voter-canvassing drive, that many Democrats plan to vote for President Bush. Saracat is upset:

OMG! Can they do that without my permission? I thought it would be "safe" to recount my experience on a Dem Board. I don't think it is right to use my experience, which I posted in an effort to gain knowledge, against the Campaign. Can I protest this misuse of my statement? Anybody know? Moderators? I have been high jacked!

Another user points out that our quoting of the original post is protected by the fair-use provisions of copyright law. Then "demwing2" weighs in with an effort to buck up saracat:

When I sold door to door, we had an adage that only 1 in 10 would buy. When I got 9 doors slammed in my face I was at my happiest, because I knew I was set for a sale. If I had 18 slams, I knew that I had two sales on the way. It's averages, always averages.

By this standard, the Kerry campaign will have succeeded if it manages to exceed 10% of the popular vote. We've never been bullish on Kerry, but even we think he'll do at least that well.
