They are collapsing.
Giuliani's screwup, the bad photoshop, the horrible flopping around trying to find a story that will stick over the explosives -- this is a campaign that is coming apart under the pressure. Can it hold together for a few more days?

11. The Photoshop thing is the sign of people under
pressure, trying to get something done and out the door. Things like that seldom happen in an organization that feels on track -- it's a foolish, even a mindless, risk. Whether it has an impact on the election itself -- who can say? As a sign of an unravelling campaign, it's telling.

22. The Faked Photo Is An Excellent Atmospheric, My Friend
It says "pathetic liar" in a way all can notice and understand, and so helps with the general overthrow. Little things are fastened on to serve as symbols for, and gateways to, the greater things....

There is a story on National Review claiming the Shrub internals showing a 'bounce'. Who knows if it's true -- so let's think and work like we're 5 points down!!!

10. My Freeper friend is losing his grip
He still is clinging on to the Drudge Al Qaeda warning video. The problem is that this is going to backfire since it appears that the Bush Administration leaked the story to Drudge and is fairly desperate to get a major network to broadcast it. The story is not going to be the warning video - which has no specific threats and could have been recorded ages ago - but the White House attempts to get the media to run it. This story is poison for them.

14. Be prepared and be ready for Rove to act at any time
Article in Atlantic Monthly about when Rove's back is against the wall things tend to get very very ugly.

Don't underestimate these criminals.

27. i think that the fact * will get 50 million votes
in this election is a symptom of advanced cancer ravaging the nation. WIth all the criminal activity in the swing states, and the media being just a conduit for bush's lies, cover-ups, and dodges, and no one even talking about it, i feel that this version of america is coming to its inevitable end, and version 2.0 that results from the rebirth (c. 2030) will be much better. THink of what Jefferson & Franklin could've done with PC's and cell phones!

28. Our spokespeople cannot let the media drop the story.
They have to keep pushing it and rolling into a story about the entire Bush* operation. They lie about everything. They avoid all responsibility. They try to confuse the issue. They lash out at anyone telling the truth.

This story has it all. Make the media cover it until Bush* personally admits they screwed up and takes responsibility.
