The point is not to give up, but not to be a pollyanna either. Do you remember the heady days in 2000, with people only believing the POA poll, thinking there was going to be a landslide, and then what happened?

I wonder, if the POA poll showed a dead heat, how much more active people would have got, if they didn't think Bush was going to crush Gore.

No need to be Chicken Little, but while George Bush has the power of likeability, the incumbancy, the war chest, talk radio, there are some things Kerry has going in his favor. The liberal media, the 527's like Move-on, George Soros, etc.

My gut feeling is that this is going to be 2000 all over again. Neither candidate will get 300 electoral college votes. This race will be based on which base is more motivated, does the get out the vote, does the phone banks. Sobering news, put in perspective, can only make activists work that much harder.

I,too, have the gut feeling it's going to be 2000 all over again. However, if I can get this tin foil adjusted, I believed the POA poll. I STILL believe the POA poll and think Bush DID win by a landslide ,or at least by a sizable margin.

And there were a great many of us who were active in getting out the vote. Remember the "broken glass Republicans"? A lot of us voted early (just not often,multiple, dead, illegal aliens, felons,etc.)

The dems. have quite a fraud machine going. Watch all the polls coming out. Dead heat. Don't look for that to change even if the results are untrue. Just like 2000. NO ONE would have questioned a Gore (stolen) win based on those poll results. And they almost succeeded but for a miscalculation of a few hundred "votes". They begged for just a few more days to remedy that but were unable to bluster their way as per usual. Once again, Republican grassroots activists helped save the day. I don't know how much harder we could have worked.

There is just no way Kerry has a chance against Bush, just like Gore didn't. That doesn't stop the dems.,though. I'm afraid they won't make the same mistake this time and will make certain they have enough fraudulent votes with time to spare.Again, with all the "reliable(ha!)" polls showing a virtual dead heat, no one will question the "will of the people".

I expect we will all work just as hard if not harder this time around because so much is at stake. I'm just doubtful, even with the best of poll watching and the like, that we can make a dent in the dem. machine with its willing accomplices in the press. I hope to God I'm wrong.
That's my prayer, anyway.
