With less than a full week to go, this particular young Republican is pretty confident.
John Kerry has given up on making Missouri a “battleground state” , and even the BBC shows Mr. Bush has a decided Electoral College edge over Kerry, with 274 for Bush and 264 for Kerry.
Plus, the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll from over this past weekend puts Bush ahead, again. So, despite the protests and valiant efforts of Kerry fans everywhere, I do honestly believe my man will handily win the election.
In more local news, I was pleasantly surprised by the Seattle Times’ recent endorsement of Dino Rossi for governor, as well as Rob McKenna for state attorney general. Both men will bring a fresh approach to Washington politics, and will clear some of the stale political air that’s lingered over Olympia since before I was born. I applaud the Times for making a bold statement on the direction it wants our state to take.
In closing, here’s a quick note in response to my fellow blogger Sierra: I appreciate your opinion, and wanted to see what you meant, exactly, by your post. However, I can’t relate to “…most of my friends await the upcoming election with indescribable fear.” That sounds pretty bad. Even if my guy loses, I won’t be quivering in dread.
I’ll be proud that we choose a leader without bloodshed, violence, or destruction. My friends and I might be disappointed, but we refuse to be terrified. That’s part of what being an American is…not being scared when the rest of the world is. Next week we all get to decide, to choose who we want in charge of our state and country. I agree with Snoop Dogg : let’s go vote.
