Hey Ohio DU'ers, Potato Face Russert just made it official
on the Today Show. It's going to be OHIO, OHIO, OHIO this time around.

The segment with him and Lauer was all about how * can win, not a thing about Kerry's chances.

Just reinforced my idea to watch PBS on election night. I really think I'm going to turn off the TV for the next week.

1. Saw that too.....
....he didn't provide equal analysis to each side. Only how bush could win. Irritating.

3. Big Timmy said "JK would have to thread the needle, but it could be done."
You damn right, Russert, and we Democrats intend to come out in record numbers, and get it done!

7. But it's BUSH who needs to thread the needle!
For all practical purposes, Bush has to win Ohio AND Florida to win. We, on the other hand, only need one or the other + the Gore states.

Just love his objectivity/not.

5. Think you missed a couple of things
Most importantly, he said that a new poll shows first time voters breaking 59-40 for Kerry! Russert said that was very bad news for Bush. He also said the story of the missing explosives hurts Bush and he acknowledged that Kerry could possibly grab Arkansas and Colorado.

I didn't find his analysis Bush weighted. There was very good news in it for us.

6. Maybe because
he considers Bush to be the underhog? HA! Wouldn't that be something? THe two of them putting their heads together trying to figure out a way for Bush to get out of it. Did Russert seem upbeat or hopeful about Bush's chances?

8. This is one more case of if you say it enough times does it make
it true...There is alot of this Bush stuff being done in the media..Our local paper the AM said that on the basis of polling-electoral college gives it to Bush 287 to Kerry-247...How does this happen when the tide seems to be sweeping in Kerry's direction?? We really need to incite our base and new registrants....to VOTE!!!!!
