November Surprise?

Am I the only one terrified that nothing on the national level has come out against the Democrats? Regional smear tactics and below-the-belt campaigning was to be expected when the GOP has had nothing positive to run on for the last two years. The fact that Karl Rove has remained silent thus far terrifies me. No heightened security alert? "Mushroom cloud" threats? I do fear that Saddam Hussein's verdict will be handed down next weekend and the guilty verdict will say, "see? Georgie was right all along!" The Dems will still lose one if not both Houses in this election as polls for the last six years have truly been unreliable. By all accounts, right Zogby, the occupants of most major positions have been incorrectly called, even with media hype. If Barack were running this year, the press would have turned it into the greatest thing since 1932. What's the weirdest is the fact that the Dems have been picking up steam in the goofiest of places and yet Arnold Schwarzzeneger is up by 17% over the Democratic challenger whose name eludes me. Maybe that's why Arnie's coasting to such an easy victory. Who's running Angelides' campaign? The same people who ran Gore and Kerry's campaigns? A candidate has to be out there and not in Phil's case, "out there". Phil comes across as a clueless incompetent, one who's proud to be a 70s tax-and-spend liberal kinda guy. Sorry but that's not what we're looking for. It worked for Jerry Brown thirty years ago but we need to wake up and realize that the last and most effective liberal governor this state had was Pat Brown and that was HALF A CENTURY AGO.

I love my dad and am terribly proud of his campaign. He's running clean, not attacking his opponents and rejecting money from big-time developers who want a pawn or a puppet. "Hell Yes!" I want Bob Taylor for mayor!!!
