Why Kerry Will Win

[Clinton Crusader]

Today, rather than recite reasons why Bush is worse than Kerry, or analyze the campaign tactics of the candidates, or dissect the motivations of swing voters, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Kerry will win in Ohio and become the next President. Why?

Large numbers of Ohioans are beleaguered and angry about increased costs of food, gasoline, prescription drugs, health insurance and college; they are worried about stagnant wages, job security, retirement options for themselves and opportunities for their children; they are want their kids home from Iraq. They are not fooled by a self-appointed "war leader" and will turn out to vote against him.

Many veterans resent Bush administration cuts to the VA, pay-cuts and equipment shortages for soldiers on active duty, and the use of mercenaries -- "private contractors" -- in Iraq. They don't like the attacks on people like Kerry, McCain and Cleland who served in Vietnam.

1. I wish I shared your favorable outlook on the people of Ohio.

I think far too many Ohioans are like the folks in Kansas (as in "What's the matter with Kansas?") I think they are fooled.

2. SILLY, SILLY, SILLY!!!!

Nobody reads the newspapers.
Those who lost their job are at home listening to Rush Limpdick.
These people have been voting against their own interest for decades.
If you cant touch them emotionally like Bill Clinton, you cant win them.

I live in northeast Ohio. I am seeing more Kerry signs than * at Least 4 to 1. On the way home from work at least three people responded to my Veteran for Kerry bumper sticker. And one woman was behind me at a light and honked until I tuned around and waived A Kerry button at me. I gave a thumbs up and she responded in kind.At the Post office I work out of We have the repugs 103 to 3. I can't understand how someone could be in our Union and like *. The response I got from one guy was " I am a white mail and they care about me." ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG
