Thom Hartmann made a great point
Just on his radio show, he pointed out this bogus Newsweek poll: how can there be a double digit poll jump when only 4% of all likely voters are undecided? This is a great point to make to all that gloat about this so-called jump.
Thom Hartmann's show is so great, just wish it wasn't on when I am usually at work.

1. One explaination would be
that there are now more Dems planning on voting for Bush in 2004 than voted for him in 2000. Plausible? You decide.

3. Thom Hartmann also said we must MOCK Bush & Admin.
We the people can create an issue that brings the media to us using viral and guerilla marketing techniques. Guerilla marketing means we disseminate our message using non-traditional delivery systems. Viral marketing means that the message creates buzz and it propagates exponentially. The computer ushered in the age of print and web based media accessibility to the masses. We are paying a lot of attention to online media and ignoring the most far reaching: PRINT media.
An example of an effective print piece highlighting Bush's failure and most importantly MOCKING him in the process:


high resolution version for printing here:

Put them on car windshields. Hand them out on street corners. Drop them on driveways in the suburbs where the frightened inhabitants are sure to contact the authorities.

We don't need TV buys to get some attention on this issue. We have to undermine Bush's perceived strength. We all are potential disseminators of printed media. We do not need a newspapers permission or lots of money for TV commercials. We all have access to printers, photocopiers and paper. Many of us are very talented users of PhotoShop or Freehand. We all can create print ads like the one above. If we the people can create a buzz with massive distribution of printed ads we will get media coverage. The possibilities are endless regarding this type of grass roots guerilla marketing. Kerry is our product, Bush is the product we must crush.

The Bush administration's complete INCOMPETENCE is key to undermining his strength.

4. Hartman is far superior to the Franken show imo
as far as analysis and content goes. He is really informative and his analysis is sharp. I tune him in rather than listen to the ditto head and oy oy oy, Franken's name dropping and Katherine playing the big mama whose job seems to be keeping his potty mouth in line. Not cute or funny. There is little on Franken's show that is informative and I find him lacking in the information . He may be good on TV, but as far as radio goes, I prefer Hartman who has his finger on the pulse.
