Voters who could change everything

Washington -- The keenest number in this year's elections, especially for the big governorships, is the 28 percent of Californians listed as "undecided."

Whether Republican Bill Simon can win the bulk of those votes is one of two big questions of the 2002 midterm balloting. The other is whether the Bush- hating Democrats of Florida, especially angry black voters, can upset the re- election ambitions of the president's younger brother, Jeb.

That prospect alone is sure to drive up the Democratic vote this November, especially the black vote...

Hopefully they will have learned how to vote.

All of these Enron hit pieces in the media lately are part of the National Democrat Party Plan to re-elect Gray Davis.

Farfetched? Read this post. Somebody besides several of us FReepers thinks the same.

GO SIMON

Unless Jeb gets caught between now and November, molesting children, owning black slaves, and being a secret admirer of Castro, he's going to beat Reno big time.

Simon has his work cut out for him.

I think you are right, but I find it hard to figure out why all of the democratic politicians in Washington State and Oregon, have lined up behind helping re-elect Davis. I can understand Cantwell, who has huge debt and is being helped paying it off by Hillary Clinton is for sale to the Democratic party. By why Wynden of Oregon and Inslee of Washington are so vocal on this issue is beyond me. Inslee should care less about electing Davis, unless he knows that his party is likely to loose control of the US Senate and loose more seats in the House unless something is done to neutralize Bush popularity.

The cynic in me, feels that Bush is headed to start military action against either Iraq or Iran within the next 3 months. If that happens, and the Democrats probably understand the timetable as well as anyone else, then the November elections will take place at a time "of war." The Dem's may feel that now is the only window of opportunity they have to try to attack Bush on any issue without a backlash against them as unpatriotic. I think that the Dem's are absolutely terrified about loosing all power at the federal level.

"A win by Simon or Reno changes everything."

Let Reno fall down again, on camera, just one more time--and she's toast.

Simon is very unlikely to win, given the illegal-alien and dead-people's vote. If enough of the Oracle scandal sticks to Davis--and more power problems hit the state (almost certain), Simon might have a chance.

It would take millions of dead voters and illegal aliens to put Janet Reno over the top.

California is a lot closer. Bush needs to campaign hard and often for Simon, because it is indeed a key race. And the country-club Republicans in California had better start backing Simon too, because there's no other way they can get even half of what they want. Meanwhile, Bush and Rove should quietly remove that moron they imposed on the California Republican party. That was then, and this is now.

Oh, no.  Sure hope the White House doesn't see this article.
We can't afford another multibillion dollar attempt at vote
buying.

"Supreme Court's role in giving George W. Bush the presidency"

I wish Chris Matthews would quit saying this. It's so blatently wrong.

The statement should be: "the Supreme Court's role in STOPPING AL GORE FROM STEALING THE ELECTION."

Get it right, Matthews!
