Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce
The Mrs., who volunteered for John Kerry's last rally in Madison, got asked to volunteer for the one scheduled for Thursday. I was going to go anyhow, so she volunteered me as well. Seeing a presidential candidate in the last week of the campaign is exciting enough, but this makes it even better. And I ain't talkin' about Bon Jovi.
Recommended Reading: The polls will make you crazy if you read them every day, but we read them every day anyhow. In his Guardian column, Kos says the head-to-head figures are meaningless--watch Bush's number and whether it's at 50 percent. If it isn't, he's in trouble. It isn't. Paul Glastris observes at Political Animal that voter intensity--"Which group of voters will brave hailstorms and locust swarms to vote for their man, and which side is so disgusted with their's that they'll stay home?"--is key to any election, and that this year, despite the legions we think will turn out to vote for Bush and Jesus, the greater intensity might be on Kerry's side.
As Springsteen puts it, "No retreat, baby, no surrender."
And at Best of the Blogs: What George W. Bush and Ashlee Simpson have in common. I didn't write it, but I wish I had.
