Got so busy at work that I missed all of October here at the ol' blog. Shame. Thought I'd check back in with a link to Keith Olbermann's latest attack on Bush and his ilk. It's a nice counter punch to the attack on Kerry's comments on getting stuck in Iraq in you don't get enough education. Of course, the right wing distortion machine claimed Kerry meant only ignoramuses join the military, when Kerry was talking about George Bush. Unfortunately, the mainstream media covered the right wing spin instead of stepping back and seeing exactly what Kerry meant. A friend of mine even sent me an email in disgust that Kerry had blown the election.
Whoa! No he didn't. Polls out today show Senator Macaca, Talent, and Dewine trending downward along with Tom Kean in NJ. Only Corker in Tennessee had good numbers. Zogby had him up 10 and Rasmussen only 1. Every other Republican Senate candidate is trailing. House polls look good too and 70 percent in a Time poll said Bush had no strategy to win in Iraq. The Kerry thing is a manufactured blip that shows both the power of the right wing distortion machine, and the desperation of Bush whose trying to rerun the 04 campaign by beating on Kerry and mentioned gay marriage. That's an attempt to get the base out volunteering and working hard for Rs in this campaign, as Rove hopes turnout with help the Rs eke out a save Tuesday.
So don't sweat it too much as that story if off the front pages and the Rove noise doesn't seem to be working that well this time around.

I thought Kerry had blown it because I didn't have any faith that the alleged liberal mainstream media would do much more than give the GOP the forum they needed to run with this. And I have yet to go broke betting against the Dems' ability to blow elections in general. I'll be ecstatic to be proven wrong in all of this...
