1. Well, they can change the subject...
Last time I went they were pretty smug judging by the fact that a loss is pretty imienant for there president, so there allready holding a forum for what Republican president should run in 2008.

5. Heh-heh, did you happen to cut and paste those spelling errors from

2. Lots of Repubs where I work here in Texas, and...
...the possibility of a W loss hasn't even occurred to them. Really. When I say I'm a Kerry supporter and tell them I'm very confident he will win, they get this puzzled look on their faces. They just can't get their minds around the concept.

Then I cite some of the reasons why the polls don't already show a clear Kerry win (the youth factor, the cell-phone factor, the likely voter factor, etc.) and you can see they get kind of unsettled. I usually drop it at that point and say, "Or maybe I'm just completely out of my mind" and give them a smile to match. They usually walk away, visibly shaken.

Heh. Heh. Heheheh.

3. Here's a fun little thread over there

ABC MNF Jinxes Kerry -


Posted on 11/01/2004 7:44:32 PM PST by NeoCon_21


ABC Just played a small segment on the Redskins curse, if the Redskins lose their final home game the incubent loses.

They closed the segment with a photo of John Kerry and Greenbay's Donald Driver say congratulations John Kerry.

That's felt so odd, like when they called the election for Gore.

Sorry I am just very nervous and will hang on to anything.

GO B/C 04!

4. I've seen a few nervous posts
but for the most part they are in complete denial. Good. It's going to be all that more devastating for them. :evilgrin:
