I feel a change in the air

An intangible, but unmistakeable energy.

It feels like the magnetic rumblings right before an earthquake, or maybe it's more like a............

LANDSLIDE!

1. Hope so.

:hi:

Wish I felt as optimistic, I remain cautious. Celebrate for me too!

6. I really hope so too...

And am still cautiously optomistic.

There are still 3 months left, including the Repuke Convention.

Who knows what KKKarl will pull out of his sleeves in the final hours before Nov. 3rd.

I do feel change, too, though. I was just in Richardson, TX, just north of Dallas, and I noticed more Kerry bumperstickers than Bush. I was amazed.

4. I read

the Kerry blogs every night.

They're like a lullaby. . . the stories of people and towns and prairies and purple mountains and condors and lakes. . . the adults, and especially their children up way past their bedtimes waiting, for the train carrying hope and help to reach their towns. If the train misses them, it comes back! What in this life that is good ever comes back?

By the thousands they come to touch the future of the Republic. The train stops. . . the two ambassadors for fairness, decency and responsibility, along with their accomplished and talented wives and their lovely children plunge into the crowds. . . reassuring ordinary Americans; sparking their ideals, renewing their faith in the country they have never abandoned, even when its leaders have abandoned them. . .

The stories can't help but evoke memories of Bobby in '68. Just as there would have been then, yes, I believe we will have a landslide in November.

I feel it.

Edited to change the tense from "did" to "do" (not exactly sure why).

5. There are so many changes

The Arab population last time voted for Bush, this time not so much.

The Cuban population is not happy with Bush's Cuban policy. Last time they voted overwhelmingly for Bush

Last time the military was almost 100% behind Bush. This support has eroded.

The younger voters are being encouraged to question this administration by Jon Stewart and MTV. The younger voters voted their wallets last time.

Many people who were not interested in politics now care and don't like where we are going.

Many Seniors who favored Bush are not happy with what has happened to Medicare and are starting to fear what is happening to their Social Security under Bush's privatization threats.

And so on and so on and so on . . .


Yes, there is a change in the air.

8. I hope this is all true, but...

Why do the polls still show it practically 50/50?

[cynatnite]

10. Polls

I think this is one time no one can rely on the polls. With all the get out the vote stuff going on, rockers getting involved who never stepped into politics before and F 9/11, plus voices of discontent rising, we'll get a major surprise.

More voters and if not a landslide, close to one.

Unless Bush finds a way to cheat or something as underhanded.

9. re: Many people who were not interested in politics now care and don't lik

I think this is where we are going to see a huge shift.

I feel it too. Polls are BS, can you OLD PARADIGM???? (ala Michael Moore) I think the reason Kerry is getting so much scrutiny is because the people are picking him over with a fine tooth comb to see if they can trust him vs. hiring the liar like so many did in 2000.

As they say, fool me once....can't get fooled again!

13. I feel no change in the air

and I'm from Massachusetts and unemployed and goddammit I keep giving money to the DNC and every other Dem org that begs me in the mail. Not that I can AFFORD it, but still, it's the 2004 election at stake, donchaknow.
