Word has it Bush will try a DESPERATE HAIL MARY to try to win Florida
He'll hint that after four years he decided Cuba should be free,or he will cave on Canada drugs.

2. And who will believe him?
Only the fools who are already voting for him.

And I don't think a plan to invade Cuba would play as well as he hopes.

3. Hail Mary?
Voting has already started. It's a little late for a goddamn Hail Mary. Fuck that shit.

4. That sounds like a Bush move.
I'll bet it's another big tax giveaway.

5. My folks lived there
They're both gone now. But I'd bet my next retirement check that Floridians would give Bush a collective "A-A-H" with a downward wave of the hand. I don't think the seniors would believe his lying ass. But that doesn't mean he won't try something.

6. is he trying 2 kill the chronicaly ill now?
He said those drugs from Canada could kill U - he wants 2 protect us and ban them! 2 not have 2 listen 2 that tortured, thin, lazy lipped mush mouth ever again will be a sheer delight.

Can U imagine some reporter, in the future, seeking squatter out 2 get his measured insight on an international issue?

NO, neither can I!

7. Too little, too late Shrub...
He's had four years to prove himself and has exposed himself as a lying opportunist with no commitment to anyone but corporate fat cats and war mongers. Free Cuba? Please. How can he convince anyone that the U.S. has the money and troops for serious military intervention? As for Canadian drugs - he had his chance and it's clear to everyone but the most ignorant Bushbots that he doesn't give a sh** about the plight of millions of Americans who don't have health care. On Tuesday, the country will make it clear that they have no interest in mere lip service and we will elect a man of action.

8. Its Cuba.
Heard a fragment of one of his speeches today. Promises to get rid of Castro.

13. The problem there is...
Bush would be again preaching to the Republican choir. Talking about getting rid of Castro does nothing with solid Kerry supporters and undecideds.

16. Bush has lost support among Cuban Americans

He still leads by big margins, but the lead has eroded since 2000. This may be targeted at that specific group. At any rate, the fact that he's so desperate is good news!

21. Yes, but not because he isn't rightwing enough for them
For instance, his strengthening of the travel ban to Cuba caused some moderate CAs to break with him.

I think the parent is right, and this would only grow the divide.

12. That's funny...
In my current EC estimate, if Bush swings Florida his way somehow, it will end up 269-269. Eeeeeek!

18. Won't happen. Kerry's response would be:
"You waited until NOW to decide this?!?"

Bush laughed off stage.
