Friday Face-Off

FACE-OFF: n. 1. A method of starting play in ice hockey by dropping the puck between two opposing players. 2. A confrontation.



Well, we come to the end of a busy week...Redstater's daytime job has interfered mightily with my responsibility to you dear reader. But fear not, a quick trip to the phone booth and all shall be well!



ITEM 1: Theresagate: Note to all those on the right - leave her alone. She does more damage to herself with her bizarre outspokenness than any attempts by pundits to connect her to jfk. Pick on her and it WILL backfire, let's not go there. I come back to one of my rules of thumb: the American people are a LOT smarter than Democrats think they are. Let Theresa run amock and let the people decide.



ITEM 2: The Polls: Be at peace dear reader, with the exception of an occasional outburst from an outlying poll, W has led jfk consistently. Check out the folks at Real Clear Politics, they average all of the polls out at this writing W's up 2.4%. Newt Gingrich has noted that people vote like they buy cars. Early on, all the options are on the table - the 16-cylinder sportscar that can outrun a dragster, the 4-ton pickup truck that you need an elevator to get into the cab. But as they get closer to the purchase decision, sanity kicks in and they settle for a Toyota or a Chrysler. That explanation sheds a lot of light on the Dean collapse - aaaaaaaarghhhhh - jfk was the safe bet, even for the loonier left fringe. Redstater optimistically sticks to his assessment that this thing will break well for Bush. All shall be well.



ITEM 3: Ashley's Story: Guys, W is a genuinely good guy. jfk's little buttons aside, W IS the real deal. If you had any doubts, take a look at this ad. It's an AWESOME piece! To all my friends (you few, you valiant few) who still plan on voting for jfk, I respect you, but you have to ask yourselves: "Do I want a real human being or a phony for my president?" Let your heart be your guide. This is a man of his word.



Be of good cheer all!
