From the Kerry Spot, for all of the poll worriers:

Had a short conversation with Obi-Wan Kenobi, longtime GOP operative, today. Talked about the bin Laden tape, and his analysis echoed much of what you had seen elsewhere - this makes terrorism THE issue of the election, and Bush is now likely to win in something approaching a landslide.

It's worth the read.

"Never give in"

Never give UP! Yes, it's good news, but you never know what kind of last minute "DUI discovery" the 'rats are going to come up with. Keep on keeping on...

The answer is ACTION!!   Do ALL your friends and contacts know who Kerry REALLY is?  Copy and email THIS  to everyone who still needs to find out.

I'm encouraged by at least three things today:

1) The Newsweek poll

2) An AP reporter dropped a little bomblet in the middle of his article, writing: "As Bush and Kerry crisscrossed Midwest battleground states, a new poll [Newsweek] showed the president moving ahead of Kerry in the popular vote, and DEMOCRATS SAID THEIR PRIVATE SURVEYS HINTED AT MOMENTUM FOR THE REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT". Now, ask yourself, why would a Kerry insider leak something like that? It tells me things must be pretty grim for them.

3) Obi-Wan's use of the word "landslide". Ordinarily a campaign plays down expectations and certainly doesn't reveal "landslide" indicators based on just a couple of days' polling. This (in my view) is an astonishing comment at this stage of the race.

I think something's up...something below the radar.
