This has been the worst day of the campaign. IMHO.

[MikeG]

Hope it gets better.

1. no way..............repugs are depressed

gosh, i am feeling good with listening to what people are doing on the board. i have my kerry sticker and talking to everyone, panhandle of texas and doing fine. i saw a moveon commercial with a west texan i loved..........

media is an asshoel. they have been for a while, they will be thru out. bush will f* up. he always does. there is way more to come

[MikeG]

2. What was a worse day?

[seabeyond]

4. smack in the middle of swift boat wasnt fun

reagan week and mon thru thurs wasnt fun. today i get my tv back, i have been feeling good.

end of june wasnt fun with the handover.

i dont know. but i am not feeling today is really significant at all. maybe with some of the people on the board mike, kinda making me say, hey wait, am i missing something, but i am going to trust my feel. i guess it is if you are believing that poll. i dont, i will wait. i think the people saw thru the hate campaign i dont know, havent talked to anyone

6. Today, we ate lunch at Pizza Hut in Beebe, Arkansas.

When we pulled into the parking lot, what did we see? A van adorned with "Veterans for Kerry" bumper stickers. We just HAD to seek out the person that it belonged to (AND IT HAD ARIZONA TAGS). They lady remarked, "Aren't they just wonderful?" We heartily agreed.

Yes, feeling pretty good here in good old Arkansas too.

Oh yeah, and I got a picture of our future President and Vice-President in the mail today. AWESOME!

[Blue_Roses]

12. Arkansas is in a dead heat.

it will be close but it is looking good:)

[democratreformed]

18. I'm at home on this damn slow OLD computer or I would

smile back at ya and put one of those bouncy guys on here too. I attend classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I have passed several cars with JK bumper stickers. AND, up on the corner from where I work, I have been noticing a makeshift yard sign (some of the cardboard signes staples to a post). This morning, the garage was open and BOTH vehicles had bumperstickers.

Of course, AT WORK, we have a whole parking lot full. My daughter and I stocked up at the county Dem headquarter and had a blast "decorating".

3. Do you care to offer any specifics?

Or just feeling down?

[MikeG]

7. The job numbers did not help Kerry.

Events are more important than scandal.

No coverage of Iraq anymore.

I don't like the trend I'm seeing.

[sangh0]

8. Yes, it's terrible the way Kerry is leading in the Electoral College

He might even win...shudder

[DerBeppo]

20. well, not quite

http://www.electoral-vote.com

but it's not as bad as people are letting on.

[sangh0]

24. That's an older poll

Look for the one dated 9/3. It has Kerry in the lead.

[DerBeppo]

28. it says

sept. 3 on the front page. which ev poll are you using? a link would help since i can't seem to find it.

[seabeyond]

9. oh dude they did too.......just cause bush spins it, not

many are going to buy it. lordy most all reports own up to lack luster. they were bad. and some report actually said they were manipulated to get that many. they are not good. they are exactly numbers kerry can use. they arent even high enough to cover the people that are entering the workforce this month

[Blue_Roses]

13. Get a grip!

:spank: Peaks and valleys...that's the way it will be till Nov.2. We're all in this together:)

[merh]

31. Even if the media doesn't cover Iraq, it is still in folks minds . . .

They are calling people up ever day - they just activated another guard unit here -- folks can't forget the war and if * ignores it, that will piss them off -- it is an awkard balancing act and the man can't ride his bike without falling off.

The debates are coming and Kerry has more in store.

Don't count on the media - this is a grass roots effort, we have to get the word out and we have to stop worrying and fretting and get to work.

[democracy eh]

5. what the heck?

dude it has been an alright day

this Day after is much weaker for the RNC than the DNC's day after

the Zell fall out, the pathetic W speech, the fact that Kerry hit 'em hard late last night (for the AM news cycle) and today (so he made he PM), no surrogates,

over-reliance on 9/11 may captivate people for a day or two, but it is short term, they offerred nothing conrete to build upon.

My thoughts are with the big dog. but between his heart condition and the impending hurricane, that sucked a lot press time.

dude.sure there was a bad poll, likely flawed, but dude, there was a lot of good today, Kerry may have turned the vietnam corner as well.

relax

there will be worse days

[baldingrockwarlord]

10. If Today is the worst day of the campaign....

Then we have NOTHING to worry about.

[kimchi]

22. Right on, baldingrockwarlord!

15. Oh shush. Take a walk outside or something.

You've missed my umpteen "Bush is Toast" posts.

17. So did the rest of DU

25. That's all you got?

You had to link to The Lounge??

[Placebo]

14. Bush up 11 points. Clinton going in for Heart Surgery...

it doesn't get any worse than this!

unless bush were to win re-selection on the same day clinton died or something.

oh well, don't worry, things will get better! :pals:

[sangh0]

16. Please don't repeat republican lies

the poll was run by a former employee of Fox News. Even Fox and David Brooks say they don't believe the poll, and they're both Repukes.

[Placebo]

19. I know its fake, but it's getting huge play in the media...

and that's all that counts these days. it's sick, fuck the facts, give me some smear and fiction to report!

[sangh0]

27. Please stop repeating repuke lies

The media is LAUGHING at that poll. Even FOX NEWS and David Brooks have both said they don't believe it, AND THEY'RE REPUBLICANS.

[democracy eh]

21. time for group hug

29. I 'm just going to replay the Belushi rant from "Animal House"

Where he says "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

[democratreformed]

26. Here's another observation. I hope it helps, Mike.

I don't mean to take anything away from Wes Clark - Lord knows I love that man. BUT, when I was volunteering for him during the primaries, I kept being told (by campaign workers) that things were going great. I tried hard to believe it. I wanted to believe it. But, deep down, I could FEEL that they were just saying things to keep us motivated. Not that that is a bad thing. But, honestly, I couldn't see any real-life evidence of "things are going great" and "we have a lot of support". Sure, there was some, but I didn't FEEL it - you know what I mean?

That's why I posted those two stories up above. With Kerry, I SEE it and I FEEL it. Honestly, I do. I'm a Cancer - a very feeling person. And, I promise you, I FEEL good about this election.

[democracy eh]

30. AND Bush's speech about Kerry not being a Conservative candidate...

way to sway the undecided Georgie....

[Cronus Protagonist]

32. I've been having a GREAT day

Bush died a death last night. It's been schweetness and light all day long.

Lick Laura's Bush - Drop Bush Not Bombs! - FUCK BUSH

[democracy eh]

33. and there was this great editorial cartooon today

it is a good day

[LSK]

34. why? what happened?

Did Kerry have a rally and nobody show up?

Or are you scared of the CORPORATE MEDIA and their polls?

Care to discuss the 57 - 43 lead Kerry had on the CNN online poll last night after the Bush speech???
