1. This is a good start, but we cannot let up the pressure.

It's a long way to November. Remember Dukakis was once creaming Bush I in the polls!

2. Look for the Pubs to step up their NEG Attacks

Thats about all they have, Negativity and bull shit.

6. I'm wondering if going

negative will have the impact sought by the GOP. I think people are tired of negative, especially the personal stuff about girlfriends and family relationships. It's funny to me that hate-radio is stepping up the Kerry is too rich attacks. Co-workers are complaining that the Heinz fortune will buy Kerry the presidency. What drivel. But it is satisfying to hear the GOP nervous about someone being "too rich". Nothing more unsettling to conservatives than wealthy liberals -- scares them where they live. And what really unnerves them the most is the organizations like moveon.org and other grassroots groups who are able to raise money and mobilize voters. Conservatives are essentially cowards. Faced with liberal muscle, they'll sucker punch. I just think there is a lot of fatigue out there for their tactics.

3. That's nice, it is going to be fun watching Kerry's numbers go up.

Saw him on the news today, I'm proud of him, he has been handling things pretty well, he did a classy job thanking Dean and Edwards. I think that both Dean and Edwards will be a big asset to us in the next few months. Dean is always one step ahead of the repubs, he was right so many times that both Kerry and Edwards adapted his message. I hope that both Edwards and Dean decide to go around the country and stump for us. I would gladly pay to see either one speak.

4. It's actually troubling to me.

That's awfully close, considering the fact that Bush hasn't even entered the campaign in earnest yet.

As Rumsfeld might say, I think we're in for a long, hard slog.

5. the glass is half full, we knew this was going to be tough all along

But we are smarter than them. They are so predictable it hurts, we will give them a sound beating in November.

8. It is awfully close

And the Shrub has taken a pounding in the last 6 weeks. And they haven't started their campaign yet.

I don't understand how his numbers can stay that high, after all that he has done wrong.

7. Haiti was the nail...

in the coffin for the Republican Party. The independent investigation on the Haiti issue is explosive.

9. remember

Frat boy had positive poll number in th high 80s not too long ago. I think once someone smells a rat it's hard to forget the stink.

11. That's why Bush is Toast

10. I think it is the tracking polls that are so good.

Do not they come out daily and are rolled over, with part of the poll coming up each day and a new one added in, as the old is dropped off?
