All I can say is OMG - this is a good sign!
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 06:16 PM by SW FL Dem
I'm sitting in a restaurant with my son, a family is next to us, CNN is on tv, the wife makes some comment about gay marriage and I wait for the inevitable. This is an extremely repub area - it went over 70% for Shrub in 2000. The wife continues "You know I really hate George W. Bush, he is the epitome of evil". I almost dropped my fork. Her husband started to criticize her for speaking out in public. I smiled at her and said I agree with her and thanked her for making my day. We had a great conversation and my son and I left realizing that we really aren't alone, even here. Best news is that she's mid 30s, never voted, but just registered so she can vote for Kerry.

3. You made MY day!
The more I hear stories like this, the more I'm sure that Bush is toast.

8. I love my country therefore I make time to read DU to listen to the
debates, insight, intelligent and experienced input (lawyers, government workers, scientists, programmers, etc., tinfoil theories, and rational practicalness of common and everyday people who also love their country.

12. Exactly, polls only poll "likely voters"...
I think that there are quite a few "unlikely voters" who are pissed as hell at Bush.

13. All the more reason we must be active in our election day
work. We must get our vote to the polls--every one! Likely voters. Unlikely voters. Every person who is registered and doesn't want GW to be President must be dragged to the polls if needed :)
