Just in case anybody missed it the first time around, I predicted Bush 57% PV and +300 ECV a while back.
I stand on those numbers. Remember the polling before the California recall? Remember the polling before the 2002 midterms – Ah, and Terry Mac’s glassy-eyed blurt “It’s a great night for Democrats!” that night?
We have had G.W. Bush v THE MEDIA, plus tens of millions of dollars of bought political sound and fury. Those tens of millions of dollars have been dumped into programs and agendas conceived and executed by the leading lights of progressive liberal theory.
Why is anyone worried about the outcome of this election?
The people pulling the triggers on the left can’t get sh*t done with the entire resources of the federal government at their disposal. They have NEVER have delivered on solutions…just spent massive amounts of money and complimented each other about how much they cared. This election demands convictions and determination. And the candidate that plopped out of the donkey was a Mass Lib?
What makes anyone think that the Dems can survive a market contest where the price of failure isn’t just a missed slice of pork or a bigger deficit but is truly life or death?
What they do still works from time to time in a city or a state…and the days of it working in states are numbered as ad hoc alt media entities like Powerline, Capatain’s Quarters, and Instapundit replicate in order to satisfy the demand of consumers for facts in their media pablum.
Some dumbass is dropping tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars into TradeSports in order to drive the Bush contract down. If it gets below 47% I’m getting in for a thousand on Bush. What motivates someone to try to skew a market like that? Just watching the volumes and the sales illustrates that the strategy bears no relation to what the market values really are…and begs the question “What agent or agencies can spend this kind of money knowing they will lose it if Kerry wins…and what will their payback be to cover their investment?”
I haven’t seen the newest iteration of OBLarama v6.2. Why is it a tip-top digital production facility (with their own branding logo, even) can’t take a better picture than Aunt Sally filming her Eunice’s fourth grade piano recital? The same branding appears on the Assman the American’s (whatever) video that appears on the OBL tape…why? If they share an editing facility, you’ld think the writers might share some ideas over figs and tea about coordinating their exhortations, right?
Maybe there was a dispute over credit or union prerequisites.
I’m not frightened of the prospect of attacks. I am sick and tired of having my time wasted by my own media and the minority party’s chosen loser candidate. Neither of those parties shares my priority: the defense of the nation, and the safety of my family. The last eighteen months have been a necessary operational pause in the war on terror. As soon as we get done with the campaign, the president can get back to dealing with the threat.
They’ve spent the last eighteen months attacking. They never offered believable alternatives in that time – just promises to do BETTER. Even Clinton had numbers and sincere sounding promises. Kerry has brought neither.
