Re: The Philly situation . Two weeks ago I knocked on doors in South Philly and in northeast Philly this past Saturday and Sunday. Don't mean to put a wet blanket on the situation, but there were a whole lot of Kerry/Edwards signs. The Repubs I talked to were all psyched. I just hope there are enough new Repub voters there or Dems voting for Bush this time, because the Kerry/Edwards sign situation was a little overwhelming in Philly.
But here's a fun thing: a woman in northeast Philly had a lifesize cutout of Bush on her lawn, complete with spotlight ! We were surprised no one had torn it down.
It's like that in certain parts of the suburbs too.
I just heard from a GOP man & woman working my polling place that the 'rats were paying $50 per Bush sign stolen. They said that there were 8,000 Bush signs alotted to Chester County and 95% were stolen.
Now that I think about it, we should have brought in 100,000 signs and bankrupted the 'rats!
Well I can tell you in Pittsburgh Kerry's support in my experience appears to be far weaker than Gore's was 4 years ago, so I do expect Kerry to not be as strong here as Gore... and we all know Bush like all Republicans will carry the T solidly. It really boils down to how well Bush does in the Philly area.
