9. Don't Forget The Pickles Pic...
She's gonna win it all for him. Bunnypants knowns mama's gonna make it all right. LOL.

We're seeing quite a political lesson here...and a very good one, to boot. $75 plus million of negative ads vs. two weeks of positive Kerry messages and the results are about to kick in.

I was laughing at the Freeper posts about the latest polls and can't wait until the next round comes out. The Kerry positive ads are doing a great number on the non-stop negative Bunnypants ones. The lesson here is timing...Kerry's got it, Bunnypants doesn't.

Right now, the undecided voters are looking around and seeing a regime in disarray with a new scandal a week and stuck in so many lies, it's now shadow-boxing with tar babies. I love it! They have seen a month of "Kerry the waffler" while tihs regime twists all over the place about the Iraq invasion, rising gas prices and other major scandals. The question being asked now is "is Bunnypants worth 4 more years?" that's the only question. He's being judged now, not Kerry.

That's where the Kerry timing is going well. By laying back and letting this regime start twisting on all that rope it's left lying around, Kerry now has more than enough ammo to go through two elections or more. By taking their best shot and not flinching, he's showing he's not gonna take their bait and is rising above the "politics of personal destruction" games of the GOOP. Not only that, the media is now starting to grow a pair and expose how they're being manipulated.

For the undecideds Kerry is now being seen as the alternative to the chaos going on with this regime. No matter what he says, he will not be listened to until the convention (thus the good move to keep the media happy and bypass the 5 weeks of money...he may not need it). The more this regime now attacks Kerry, the greater the curiosity is to find out what's so bad about the guy. We sure could use that! Once moderates see it's safe to come over, then Kerry will be really heard.

I haven't felt this confident about things in a long time, and still maintain a high degree of caution. Things can change quickly and there's still a ton of work that has to be done. We've reached that first plateau...the first base camp...problem is we're not climbing Mt. Everest, we're going up that 100,000 footer on Mars.

Cheers!
