The biggest threat to Bush is a scared and panicky Republican Congress
Once they start to think that it is their job that is at stake, they will not be so quick to tie their wagon to the Bush star. But for some unknown reason, most of the Democratic efforts are directed mostly against George W Bush? Perhaps they shold re-think their strategy? Perhaps they should re-direct their efforts toward recapturing the House and Senate? This would weaken Bush more than anything in the world.

1. Good point!
Spread the word. However...if the Rs disconnect from Bush, would that not help their chances of being elected? Just a thought!

3. No..because...
The turnout in Congressional elections directly affect the presidential election and turnout more than any other factor... Weaken the Repub candidates and in the process, weaken George W Bush. Divide and conquer.

2. I am beginning to think that we have a chance for this,
AND to un-select *.

Figure it this way. The great minds at Diebold are working their tushes off to make voting for * be a lock, but can they really fix all of the House and Senate races, too?

If we all work to energiuze anti * voters- registering and spreading information, BBV will not be enough of a factor.

5. Diebold Can Flip 16% of their count and The Media Explains it Away
They did that in 2002. They will probably be much more brazen this year.
They have obviously gotten some of the polling organizations on
board now, which makes it much easier for them.

and yes, they can fix the House and Senate races too, anywhere they are
in control of the count. Just a small matter of programming.

The media will explain away it all away as a "late surge for Bush*",
and claim it's all due to the gay marriage thing.
