No doubt about it... Bush is in trouble!

[spiderbaby1958]

I just saw my first network news mini TV-spin-doctor debate of the new extra-long election campaign season. I was watching the CBS Early Show and I saw a beaming Democratic adviser (Kiki McLean) sharing a split-screen with a sick-looking Ralph Reed hashing over new poll numbers that put Kerry over Bush by ten points. For me, the handwriting on the wall wasn't in the numbers, it was in Mr. Reed's demeanor.

Hey, a lot can happen between now and November, but I've been paying attention to these contests for twenty years, and I've never seen the Democrats so disciplined and hungry. Whenever I hear Bush making a charge against Kerry on the radio, Kerry's camp usually has a response in the very same news report. Negative campaigning worked against Dukakis in 92-- but Dukakis wasn't prepared for it. This time, we're all prepared for it. Everybody knows what's coming, and we're all pretty jaded.

Is it all over for Bush? Of course not! These guys are used to winning, and they will do anything to win. However, as a card-carrying Bush Hater, I take great pleasure in watching these arrogant motherfuckers sweat. They were expecting to be in the catbird seat right now (whatever that means).
