IN A LANDSLIDE. In. A. Landslide.

IN A LANDSLIDE, or, Confidence Has Its Place

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE
KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE

I'd be the last person to suggest that the election is in the bag and we can just sit back and wait for Bush to be crushed. There's a great deal of work that must be done.

But, why NOT approach the closing weeks with a unified confidence?

Whenever I hear a jittery Dem concerned about 'polls' I just say: KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE.

I could go into an extended explanation of 20th century polling methodology in a 21st century election. I could quote statistics on new and un-pollled voters. I could point out that worrying about a NATIONAL poll is utterly pointless.

But, I just say: KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE. Enough said.

And, as far as kool-ade drinkers go? You can't change a 'mind' that won't engage. Screw 'em! Project unshakable confidence. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE. Let them sputter. As far as I'm concerned, a bush win is unworthy of consideration. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE. Go away. The best they've got is stealing yard signs and bush is out preaching to his so-called 'base' while real conservatives are attacking. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE.

As I say above, it doesn't mean sitting back and waiting. It does mean going into the final weeks with utter confidence that a MASSIVE TURNOUT will elect Kerry and send the chimp whimpering back to his 'ranch' an even bigger, and more miserable failure than his Poppy.

enjoy your brief visit!

2. Damn straight I know atleast 20 former W voters

and all of the Gore, Nader people are voting Kerry.

Add that to our millions of new democratic voters, hell yes KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

[Jack_Dawson]

6. You know 20 former Bushies?

That's crazy.

[Melodybe]

28. Heck yeah, I do

I know 2 former log cabin republicans, I know two folks from Texas that voted W in 2000 but are now voting Kerry, I know atleast 5 people my husband works with. I know about 6 sorority and fraternaty members that can't stand W anymore. I have one black friend that voted W in 2000 and is now voting Kerry, I know 3 arabs now voting Kerry. And I know about 5 families of folks in the Military that have either been to Iraq or are on their way to Iraq.

I actually know more folks than that considering the folks that come up to our Kerry table.

As I have said if dems are doing this well in MS, then Bush is toast.

[nostamj]

29. i just LOVE posts like that

can you imagine seeing as many stories of former Gore or Nader voters going with the chimp this time?

I can't. the 'polls' are nonsense.

[calimary]

79. I'm wondering if maybe a lot of Nader people will go into the

polling both that Tuesday and realize - "aw shit. Give it up. Not this year. Let's just get rid of bush."

[nostamj]

87. almost EVERY "poll" has shown Nadir at 1%

at best...

i have NO use for polls. but, Nadir has reached his namesake, esp. with his sucking at the repuke teat.

who, in their right mind, could every vote for this sad, pandering sell-out, regardless of his (long) past contributions to consumer advocacy?

"help me help bush" - what kind of campaign in that?

[Jack_Dawson]

30. This is in MISSISSIPPI???

Isn't that the ultimate Red State?

[Bake]

36. I'm in Jackson, MS, and yeah it's RED (in more ways than one)

But even here I know a lot of former-Bush-voters. I'm not entertaining any idea that JK will carry the state, but I want the Pubes here to know they've got a fight on their hands.

Bake

[deckerd]

56. And a partridge in a pear tree! hear hear n/t

[liberal N proud]

27. I hope you can take some responsibility for their enlightening?

Through your actions and talking to them, I hope this helped them see "libruls" are not so bad.

[SW FL Dem]

70. I know of at least 5 former * voters

They are all voting Kerry this time.

[Wapsie B]

3. I agree.

Kerry/Edwards Landslide. Believe it.

[shadu]

4. LANDSLIDE!

[shockingelk]

5. It's not even going to be close

I'm going to stop watching things come in as soon as Kerry wins PA, OH, FL, VA and NC.

I might stick around for AR and LA ...

[BillZBubb]

25. Man, if Kerry wins PA, OH, FL, VA and NC

I'll be partying so hard, I won't be sober enough to hear about AR and LA!!!!!

That would be not a landslide, but an earthquake, a rout.

[Barney Rocks]

7. I predict the

BIGGEST landslide in history!!!

[jmowreader]

57. Well, the second biggest

The biggest was when Bankruptin' Ronnie took 49 states in 1984.

To beat BRR, we'd either have to take all fifty states, or leave Bush with somewhere like Wyoming or Alaska.

[msturgis524]

8. Thanks for brightening my day

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE

[RoyalWickedness]

9. AGREED!

Kerry in a landslide. No explanations, no excuses, no arguments. Kerry in a landslide!!!!

[ThomCat]

10. I think so to.

[kaitykaity]

11. I first heard this from Randi Rhodes, and

I believe it with all my heart.

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!! KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!

[nostamj]

12. yeah, I really should send her one of my buttons!

i think she'd wear it!

[kaitykaity]

17. I bet she would.

Yeah, put it up on her message board, too.

That'd be way cool.

[nostamj]

26. I can even drop some off in person...

I've been to AAR a couple of times already and I've been in touch with her producer (Jenny) regarding the Question W Revue...

[kaitykaity]

31. Oh, shit, that's right. Brain fart.

Put the name together with the...

:spank:

I can't wait to hear her say she has one on.

:headbang:

[nostamj]

41. I just posted on her message board

the entire OP, the graphics and a link to this thread!

[wadestock]

13. They are backed in the corner and seriously sweating bullets....

Electoral college looking better....http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Regardless of what the media is painting...the momentum HAS shifted to Kerry.

You also can see this verified in terms of increased negativity...increased reaching on their part. I didn't think they could go any lower...but there will be a whole new level of negativity in the last 3 weeks...

Also...an interesting comment by the "Votemaster"....

"The site has had technical problems repeatedly in the past several days and has been down several times. I didn't want to discuss this, but I don't want anyone to think the problem was an incompetent hosting service. Just the opposite. The site has been subjected to a full-scale, well-organized, massive attack with the clear intention to bring it down. The attackers have tried repeatedly to break in, but the server is a rock-solid Linux system which has stood up to everything they threw at it and hasn't crashed since I got it in May. While our troops are fighting and dying to bring freedom of speech to the Iraqi people, there are forces in America who find this concept no longer applicable to America. I don't know who is behind this attack yet (although we are working it), but it is too professional to be some teenager working from a home PC. Given that all the hate mail and threats I get come entirely from Republicans, I can make an educated guess which side is trying to silence me, but I won't say. And I won't surrender to cyberterrorists."

[nostamj]

15. even bill schneider yesterday on CNN

had nothing but bad news for the bushies. oh, he *tried* to spin it as 'very close' but, the dimwit was talking about useless national polls...


buttons for the VERY confident!

[PermanentRevolution]

14. We need bumper-stickers

Ready to go, for the DAY after Kerry is elected.

"Kerry/Edwards '08!"

That oughta piss off the freepers.

[nostamj]

21. why wait? I've got them NOW

[DancingBear]

34. Hey, do you have REAL K/E '08 bumper stickers

or just message board ones?? :)

('cause if you have real ones I'll buy some)

[nostamj]

35. yes. that design is in my online store now

added it today along with the buttons

www.cafepress.com/nostamj

[DancingBear]

39. Why, thank you, sir!

Just ordered a couple - still some space left on the cars... :)

[nostamj]

42. cool!

nice thing about cafe press is I can design and add a new product in less than 30 minutes!

[Ganja Ninja]

16. Here's why I think Bush is going to loose this election.

I live in a small country town about 30 miles north of Tampa. It's very redneck. Two years ago when Jeb was running for Governor there were at least 8 to 10 Jeb signs on my street. There is only one Bush/Cheney sign on the same street today, one and one only!

[calimary]

81. Any Kerry signs?

That might be telling, as well.

[nostamj]

84. based on anecdotes, many posted here...

former * supporters who have seen the light are:

a) ashamed
b) frightened

to admit their mistakes in public. even in so-called 'polls'

hopefully, in the privacy of the voting booth, they will vote for change. and their own best interest.

it's gotta be hard to admit you were THIS WRONG.

[K8-EEE]

18. In A Fucking Landslide Baby!

I believe.

[Lefta Dissenter]

19. A friend of mine

who cast his first presidential vote for FDR, agrees with you - so who am I to argue? :)

[SeanQ]

20. IN A LANDSLIDE!

Get the champaign in the fridge soon!

:party:

[ThoughtCriminal]

22. Vote for Kerry, even if you live in the Reddest State

Send a message. No more idiots.

[nostamj]

24. AND, even if you live in the BLUEST state

MASSIVE TURNOUT = KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE

[Lerkfish]

23. AGREED... however...

when I said the same thing, I was attacked. (saying I had a gut feeling for 72% Kerry)

[nostamj]

53. well, 50 replies and no attacks

unless WillPitt's 'Jinx' counts....

but, as I said, it's an ATTITUDE, not a PREDICTION...

[Lerkfish]

58. then I'm even MORE happy!

good. I think people need to get enthused, things are going EXTREMELY well against an evil regime that will stop at nothing...and STILL Kerry is ahead.

restores my faith a bit in americans.

[nostamj]

63. yeah... after seeing your first post

I began to worry that I'd set myself up for a serious flaming but... didn't happen. even if my faith in 'americans' is not fully restored (that will take MASSIVE TURNOUT!) I am certainly happy to see that there is confidence and resolve here on DU!

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

32. And about those polls

Has anyone read Arianna Huffington new article regarding polls? It's a great article.

Read it here

[California Griz]

33. Landslide

Took my pen and I marked it down
Knew my vote could change things around
As i saw totals building in the late exit polls
I knew a landslide would bring Bush down

No more Dick Cheney or Carl Rove
Can John Kerry and John Edwards rise above
No more repugs killing our nations pride
Fear gone from all of our daily lives

Well I been afraid of losing
Cus I just can't take four more years
No job as I get older
No money makes me bolder
And no health care
Makes me angry too

Well I been afraid of losing
Cus I just can't take four more years
No job as I get older
No money makes me bolder
And no heath care
Makes me angry too

As I saw the totals building in the late exit polls
I knew a landslide would bring Bush down
As I saw the totals building in the late exit polls

Yes a landslide would bring Bush down

[nostamj]

69. forgive me for not giving you a BIG

:thumbsup: earlier today!

after I posted the original thread, I was going to look up the lyric and work up a parody but got distracted and....

you came through with a GREAT job.

WELCOME to DU and thanks for the contribution to the thread!

:hi:

[calimary]

82. Welcome to DU!

Guys, all this is great but NOW IS NOT - repeat - NOT THE TIME TO BECOME COMPLACENT!!!

Visualize this success. Make it your mantra. But REMAIN VIGILANT!!! UBER-VIGILANT!!! We cannot afford to do less.

[giant_robot]

37. I smell the blood in the water - LANDSLIDE!!!

And don't forget to support your democratic candidates for the house and senate so we can TAKE BACK CONGRESS!!!

[MISSDem]

38. Kerry in a landslide!. When I start whining about

the polls this lady whom I work with says (just like she did in the campaign between Bush/Clinton) "that's ok. I don't worry about polls. We'll show 'em on election day." She makes me feel better (oh and she is a Black woman who also tells me that the main thing is to get people to the polls).

[Mad_Dem_X]

40. "Failure is not an option!"

Damn straight!

Kerry in a landslide! :party:

[IIgnoreNobody]

43. prediction: EV: Kerry 311 Bush 227 PV: Kerry 54% Bush 44%

Would that be a landslide?

[ArkDem]

44. Kerry in a LANDSLIDE...............

Shout it from Khartoum to Alexandria!!

[AspenRose]

45. "Project Unshakable Confidence"

I feel in my very core that Kerry is going to win. I believe it with my entire being.

(Apparently republicans feel it too and are panicked....there's just no denying the obvious.)

[nostamj]

46. wow! that works TWO ways!

project (v. put forward)
project (n. a plan of action)

very cool!

[0007]

47. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE! No fucking doubt about it!

[WilliamPitt]

48. Jinx

[nostamj]

51. it's an attitude, not

a prediction...

[MikeG]

52. You Red Sox fans should know one when you see one.

[coreystone]

54. Everybody must keep working until the "lady sings", and, ....

that doesn't happen until November 2, 2004. We can't afford to let up now!!

I sure would love to see a good "Bush Bashing" though!

:dem:

[nostamj]

55. of course I agree, and the first POINT in the OP is...

I'd be the last person to suggest that the election is in the bag and we can just sit back and wait for Bush to be crushed. There's a great deal of work that must be done.

[Ksec]

49. Ive been saying this for a month.

I totally agree.

[Vincardog]

50. Said it before say it again LANDSLIDE is the ONLY WAY

[BamaGirl]

59. Landslide!

The closer we get til election day, the surer I am we'll win. I spoke to a friend of mine today in Germany (an Army wife), who says from what she hears it's an even split there. This is really great news because the military is usually heavily conservative. Hearing that from her made me feel better about this election than anything else I've heard. Turning the tide in the military vote is a major accomplishment.

[Longgrain]

60. I'm a newbie here

but I'm going to kick this post up anyways. I think it's a great little pep rally and it's really made my day.
KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

[nostamj]

61. welcome to DU!

:hi: and I'm glad you enjoyed my post! thanks for the :kick:

[Longgrain]

62. Thanks for the welcome

I'm a another long time lurker and first time poster(well, third time), and it's great to be here!

[LibertyorDeath]

67. Welcome to DU! good choice for a Kick

What's that Sound?

LANDSLIDE!!!

[Longgrain]

75. One more time

Thanks for the welcome...
But, we must keep on working and not let out guard down, as the original poster said. Now is no time to be pessimisstic...
P.S. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

[nostamj]

76. now is the time to be RESOLUTE

focused. clear. strong.

now is the time to show the brain-dead, kool-ade gulping, spineless, self-destructive, self-loathing, 'base' that the insipid chimp is STILL trying to solidify, what genuine, informed, passionate and compassionate RESOLVE is all about.

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE

if they haven't figured out that they are being used and exploited by the insipid chimp's REAL base... the haves and the have-mores, give them NOTHING but RESOLVE.

you're NOT going to argue them into changing.

blow them off with righteous disdain. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE.

and walk over them. they're doormats if they don't belong to the millionaires club who wipes their shit on them every day.

/sorry. mike malloy has me FIRED UP!

[LibertyorDeath]

83. "blow them off with righteous disdain. KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE."

:toast:

[Polemonium]

64. Agreed in a landslide

Confidence is infectious. In Australia 67% of the population thought Howard would win, despite close polling data. Guess who won. There is something to the idea of spreading confidence. Keep up the great work.

[nostamj]

68. thank you. you (among others) really *got*

the point of my post.

WillPitt's "jinx" comment missed my point (maybe he only read the sub line).

it wasn't about a prediction, it was about an ATTITUDE.

part of the RW plan is to demoralize us with lies and distortions.

we should smile, shrug and say: KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE

and go happily on our way... confident that our ONGOING WORK will win out!

[RobertDevereaux]

65. Gonna watch that land slip-slidin' away...

...from beneath the Chimpster's feet!

[Spiffarino]

66. Landslide. Over and Out. So Long Shrubbie.

Buh-bye, Crooked Dick. Toodles, Rummy and Wolfie. Seeya, Condoleezza...wouldn't want to be ya!

Kerry in a by God certifiable LANDSLIDE!

[Kukesa]

71. At tonight's Ohio Women for Kerry meeting in Dayton

I announced that our new buzzword is "landslide" as in "Kerry in a Landslide."

At first the women looked puzzled, but then they all smiled, agreed, and the meeting's mood changed dramatically. Everyone was happy and enthusiastic again and ready to do whatever is needed to ensure that landslide.

Thanks for the shot of adrenaline, nostamj. We needed that!

[nostamj]

74. oh, that is SO great to hear!

I'm really just parroting Randi Rhodes who has been pushing this LANDSLIDE idea for a while.

just stay on course. as I've said... this is an ATTITUDE, not a PREDICTION... there's LOTS of work ahead.

thanks for the post!

[nostamj]

92. damn damn damn

I tried to post your story on the Randi Rhodes message board, and, even though I posted there earlier today.... NOW, they don't know who I am.

<sigh>

[NAO]

72. Kerry Is Going to Take Some Solid Red States

I'm so sick of hearing Arizona referred to as "a sure bet for Bush". Lots of people in allegedly "solid" red states have reported enormous pro-Kerry activity.

I'm confident there will be a few surprises on Election Day...I hope there will be LOTS of surprises.

[LittleClarkie]

73. I've been secretly thinking that for about a month

Now I will shout out.

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!

[cheshire]

77. Kerry's new theme song Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Oh Yeah

[nostamj]

88. did you catch post #33 from california griz?

clever lyrics!

and yes, I would love to hear LANDSLIDE! makes sense after Clinton used DON'T STOP THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW, doesn't it?

[calimary]

78. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

And throw in "MANDATE!" too, while you're at it.

[nostamj]

80. yes. yes. yes calimary!

I believe this administration will begin with THE KERRY MANDATE

p.s. GREAT work lately! don't respond to every thread, but, YOU I read... ;-)

[umtalal]

86. In a landslide Kerry will win.
