10/18/2004: "T minus 15 and Counting"

We are down to fifteen days before all the ballots (legal or not) have been cast in this election and then the challenges will begin by battalions of lawyers. I’m asking Santa Claus to bring word about who the 44th President is by Christmas. How’s that for optimism?

The polls show the President up after the third debate that Mr. Kerry is said to have won. Interesting. All the pundits seem to think that the Mary Cheney bomb that Kerry dropped is the cause. I’m sure that didn’t help but I think it was something much more subtle than that. I think these words spoken by the President hit home.

BUSH: “In 1990, there was a vast coalition put together to run Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. The international community, the international world said this is the right thing to do, but when it came time to authorize the use of force on the Senate floor, my opponent voted against the use of force. Apparently you can't pass any test under his vision of the world.”

The President’s lead in the polls this week is not to be believed just as anything else being reported in the media in not to be believed. This is not the time for complacency. It is imperative that you get out and vote and it is imperative that on election day, when the networks suffer premature punditry and begin calling of states in favor of the candidates that people in the West still go to the polls and cast their vote.

There is a lot of cheating that will go on with this election; unfortunately there is a long history of it. If it’s not close they can’t get away with it.
