Getcher War Face On

If you're a Bush supporter, you can expect a lot of this from the mainstream media tonight; as Rocket Man notes, the mainstream media isn't even bothering to cover up the fact that they're overtly backing Kerry.

So you can expect the media, working in conjunction with the Kerry Kampaign, to try to discourage and depress Republican voter turnout.

A few hours ago, Drudge and Wonkette moved some numbers that were very discouraging to a lot of GOPBloggers.

As Hugh, Rocket and NRO point out, of course, the numbers were very skewed; the sample was 3-2 female, which means the large male gender gap didn't come into play (and even the lead that Kerry supposedly had was pretty feeble, meaning the traditional female gender gap might just be eroded as badly as it's rumored to have become).

The point being, of course, don't worry. If you're a GOPer and you haven't gotten out to vote yet...get on it. The lines are long, so be ready for a haul. If you're in Minnesota, MoveOn is trying to intimidate you, either actively or passively - look 'em in the eye and smile.

But get in there and vote.

And ignore the "bad news" - in 2000, the Democrats were howling with joy up until 8-9PM Central, as I recall. Then reality sank in.

And if you're in the Twins, remember; however reality sets in, join the NARN and Hugh for live coverage all night long, once the polls close.

Flipping through cable new shows, it appears that only Fox is willing to officially recognize Bush as a candidate. With the other programs, it's all Kerry, all day.

Whatever problems they may be causing elsewhere, in my West Bloomington precinct the MoveOn.org guy was well away from the poll entrance, serving Caribou coffee and not politicking. In fact, the only way I could tell he was with MoveOn.org was from one shirt button. No literature, no signs, no hollering. Didn't change my vote, but it goes to show that there's some good folks even in the worst hives of political scum and villainy.

Mitch,
You are RIGHT. People can not start freaking out so early. It's 4 in the afternoon people, we have a long way to go! I was VERY confident yesterday that Bush would pull this off and I still am today. Because of bogus numbers coming out so early am I supposed to throw my hands up in the air and say it's finished? Please.
On a lighter note...as I posted earlier, I hope that someone is bringing you and Ed some beer and food...you will be in the "bunker" for quite a while! Good Luck!

Is anyone else heartened by the remarkable lack of terrorist activity on American soil today?

Not related to this post, but I just felt like asking.
