Everyone

I have said all along, even in the darkest days that Bush would get 53-57% of the vote. Unless there is a huge catastrophe lurking to hurt Bush I am beginning to believe Bush’s numbers are going to approach closer to 57% and a 40+ State margin. If this happens I expect the Democrats to get very bitter and it will hurt them as a Party. I do expect a wave of “Zell Miller” Democrats do the “Rodney Alexander” and get the hell out of the Party while they can, but I am not talking about elected official as much as voters in the general population. People must realize that in many places like North Carolina and Virginia, Democrats out number Republicans by more than 10%, yet no Democrat has won Virginia since LBJ. (Ironically in North Carolina where they are more conservative, the Democrats have faired slightly better). However when will these people just say screw it! It doesn’t matter their children are GOP anyway.

As an ex-Democrat myself with a “Driving Miss Daisy Jew” dad from Georgia, and also having been raised in Virginia (Northern Virginia “Inside the Beltway” in Suburban Washington D.C.) I will tell you guys that the current McGovern like Vietnam climate being generated is very dangerous for Democrats, very dangerous indeed. What where the Democrats thinking? My word that liberal matrix of unreality they live in is just getting weird, I escaped not a moment too soon.

Now back to the “Zell Miller” Democrats doing the “Rodney Alexander” (I am in Washington and boy were the Democrats pissed at Rodney and in some cases shaken.) But the prospect of Zell Miller giving the KEY NOTE ADDRESS at the Republican Convention should scare the Hell out of Democrats, especially in the current political environment. To hell with Ron “what about me” Reagan Jr., a sitting Democratic Senior Senator giving the keynote address for the other Party, especially after 4 million Christian Conservatives mostly from his region that he can appeal to that sat out in 2002, is just about as damn serious as it can be… it would sure scare the hell out of me!

It is interesting that after the Republicans Rudy and Arnold, we get a Democrat to help Bush shore up his hardcore base. I believe this will go down historical and as total vindication for Bush 2000. Is this the first Presidential Landslide that I will have had the honor to participate in which puts me on the winning side? We shall see. I hope so. -JSF

P.S I said from the beginning the current controversy on Kerry would have legs. Hell, legs? This is looking to turn into a dreaded eight legged political octopus.
