POLITICS- Part Two

October 31, 2003

Wednesday, I began a five day countdown to election night. Five days of “hellish ad campaigns” designed to drive you out of your mind! You can go back to Wednesday if you missed part one.

As I said, the election next Tuesday could be a “hinge” on which the doors of destiny swing. Bush thinks so. In these last five days he is visiting 16 states (3+ a day). And after the Wellstone group made his “memorial” more of a “political rally” (to which they even admitted the mistake) and told Cheney to stay away, the Republicans decided to make them pay!

Cheney will visit the state immediately, Bush will head there Sunday, and even Laura Bush and Barbara are coming to town. Mondale might have been VP but the Bush team is on a mission. You see, Bush is out to show that history can be turned on it’s political head. He’s out to defy the facts that show the party in power loses seats during the off election years.

The 108th Congress is supposed to belong to Dick Gephardt (note the spelling Streisand). Win back that six seat deficit and you’re not only the majority leader of the House, but you thrust yourself ahead of Gore for 04!

It looks like a photo-finish. With six House seats and one Senate seat being the difference, only God knows the outcome. I’m glad He does because I have this sinking feeling that there are several Florida wanna-bes out there that will mess up, prolong, and otherwise challenge the elections. Minnesota and New Jersey head that list.

Did I mention that there are 34 governorships at stake as well? Part three late Friday or very late Saturday as I will be in the air 12 more hours Saturday in order to get back Saturday night.
