We're better off for no one to reach anybody ..........
.......... I still maintain this is a Bush vs. "Anybody But Bush" election. Bush is self-destructing. Events are causing a slide in his popularity. The war in Iraq is going horribly and the economy here in the United States is deteriorating.
This election is going to be decided in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and Florida. The economy in those States is not going to make a miracle move forward.
The war in Iraq is not going to make a miracle change for the better.
The U.S. electorate is incredibly superficial. Kerry is aware of that and has been maintaining a very dignified posture for quite some time now. Frankly, I am amazed at what a dignified campaign he has been running. The electorate is beginning to appreciate it too. He simply has to position himself as a dignified, responsible, strong alternative to Bush. He's doing that.
Getting people to read the Ron Reagan article is, unfortunately, given the superficiality of the U.S. electorate, not "where it's at." Hell, most the electorate still thinks Hussein was involved in the Twin Towers' attack. It's pathetic. Kerry has a sense of all that. I'm coming to the conclusion he's brilliant and has excellent advisors.
The Democratic National Convention was a well-orchestrated work of art. Kerry came out of it in great shape and the Democratic Party's base was very well energized by brilliant speeches from Gore, Carter, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, and Kerry. Now Kerry can park in the center and isolate Bush to the right.
Bush sickens me. I haven't been this interested in an election since 1960. The results of this election will speak volumes regarding the cultural climate of the United States. If Bush wins, I'm going to seriously consider leaving the country. Four more years of him may very well bankrupt the U.S.
