The smell of fear
It permeates the Bush campaign.

The fact that they have gone so negative, so early indicates full panic mode among the Bush/Cheney junta.

1. Cheney sounded like a doberman yesterday with his "sensitive" attack.
2. Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith yammering about how Kerry can't help it if he looks French. That attack has become comical.
3. Republicans pouring money into Nader's campaign hoping to siphon off whatever they can from Kerry.
4. The Swift Boat Liars.
5. Bush forced to ask John McCain for help.

Reminds me of the end of the 1992 campaign when Bush I came unglued and start raving like a lunatic about "Ozone Man."

7. use your map but look at their site - it's specific to tracking Nader
and his effect on Kerry - including all the info about R's contributing, petitioning, etc. Here's the home page:

8. OK - thanks
I tend to think that the Nader support is over played. There's no way Nader will get more than 1/4 the vote he got in 2000.

Edited on Fri Aug-13-04 10:48 AM by quaoar
Gives Pennsylvania to Bush and cites a poll from June.

3. I thought that was Naked Gun II
Then again, Bush has been doing an amazing impersonation of Leslie Nielsen's character throughout the campaign.
