Reply #26: No "Shy Republicans" here that I can see...

[demodonkey]

... Oh, that's right, they only get shy AFTER they leave the polling room, and then only at certain hours of the day in certain precincts. Dumb ol' me, I forgot that.

Seriously, this wasn't meant to be a scientific poll or anything, just sort of an informal face-to-face with a few GOPers. I have been chatting with these same folks on their way out of the poll for years, and I wanted to try and gage the current attitude of a few key local players. Their attitude is, as I said, totally on message... in typical Rovian style they are indignant with the Dems for alleged Dem election-stealing tactics, when you know that THEIR party is the one doing it. Obviously THEY are the party that is benefiting from it... geesh, it's maddening!

What I didn't mention in my original post (and should have), is that their usual sense of GOP entitlement, the attitude that THEY have an absolute RIGHT to control EVERYthing, was at what I thought was an ALL TIME HIGH. Especially with the plastic-fetus lady, who is a GOP Committeewoman, and a couple of others.

(so shut up and keep your poll book you peon pollworker or we'll get rid of your crooked Dem ass too)

Scary stuff coming from scary people... No matter what the DNC does, I'm telling you guys we HAVE to get the cats in a row, get our side ON MESSAGE, and start getting our story out there better than we have been. If it's not going to come from the top in a big way, it needs to come from the bottom in a million small ways. Just like what Mrs. Plastic-Fetus is doing for the other side.

We must hang in there -- NGU and NSU (never shut up)!
