I hope whatever ails him is spreading to other Republicans.

It has. I know of several Republicans that will not vote for Bush
this
time. I also agree that the Democrats are fired up. At least Bush
the
"uniter" has united one group, the Democrats.

Do either of you guys live in a Battleground state? If not, then the
opinions of people you know in those states do not matter. There are
three
people in my office (plus their spouses) who didn't vote for Bush in
2000.
All have stated that they will be supporting him this year.

The fact is that the support for Kerry is shallow, more "anti Bush" than
"pro Kerry" In past elections, the turn out is usually less when there is
not the energy "for" a candidate. On the other hand, Bush's support is
quite strong.

Which is probably why the dems are reving up the 'suppressed vote" lie and
mobilizing the trial lawyers.
