"In the senate race in Illinois, the Republican candidate Jack Ryan just went through an ugly divorce and in court papers, his wife accused him of taking her to sex clubs where he tried to make her have sex with him in front of strangers. Aren't Republicans the family values people? That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats on family values. Democrat politicians cheat on their wives. Republicans cheat too -- but they bring the wife along. Make it a family event! They include the whole family!" Jay Leno

Subject: The Kerry Landslide Scenario

Hi Lisa,

Looking at key events in the months leading up to the election, here's
what's in store: The 9/11 Commission report, the Valerie Plame
investigation, more revelations about prisoner abuse, Michael Moore's
new film, and the body count in Iraq hits 1,000. All of these will
continue to erode Dubya's poll numbers. Then you have the Democratic
convention, which gives Kerry a bump. At the Republican convention, in
addition to images of the smirking chimp surrounded by paid minorities,
you have thousands of protesters in the streets, so Bush gets not
bounce. The nail(s) in the coffin will be the debates. When viewed
side-by-side, I think the undecided, middle-ground voters will conclude
that we've given the "C" student a chance, now let's try someone with a
brain.

There are several wild cards in this scenario, though. Of course, Rove
is planning an "October Surprise," but I think at least some people
will see through the ruse. The use of touch-screen voting to rig the
election is another possibility, but statistically rigorous exit
polling should identify precincts with problems. The real kicker will
be the media. Will they play it straight this time, or will they gang
up on John Kerry and give Dubya a pass once again? I'm guessing they
won't. After being bitch-slapped by the Bush regime for 4 years, it's
payback time.

To borrow a phrase from Dennis Miller (back when he was still funny),
of course that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.

Keep the faith,

Doug

Love your line of thinking. One thing I believe we can count on, is that Bush will file a lawsuit for something. It was Bush who filed the first lawsuit in selection 2000, wasn't it?

"Experts say Bill Clinton's book could earn $100 million. Hillary wants to burn it, George Bush wants to color it, John Kerry wants to marry it." Craig Kilborn
