Pumpkins and Football
I had to add a parting Halloween pumpkin post to get you to check out the terrific photos of political pumpkins at Tagyerit Politics, all submitted by the carvers. One of my faves (click image for larger version):
Great news, too, that the Washington Redskins lost to the Green Bay Packers yesterday, on Halloween Sunday -- another positive omen for a Kerry win TOMORROW! Seems that every time the Redskins lose their last home game before a presidential election, the incumbent party loses. And every time they win that game, the incumbent party wins. It has been this way since the 1936 election. The probability of 18 elections in a row being decided this way is estimated to be one in 260 million, according to media reports. The score of yesterday's game was: Green Bay 28 - Washington 14 = Kerry wins!
We all know that the polls have been up and down and around, with the only consistency being that this race is close in terms of those being polled. But it's also true that new voters and those who have only cell phones are left out of most polls, and that most of those kinds of voters are ours. It's as simple as this: if we get a large turnout, we will win. If we don't, we are in jeopardy of losing. What are you doing to GOTV (get out the vote) today and tomorrow?
