Some Republicans to defect to Kerry's camp

[mburbank]

I suggested to Ronnie fairly recently that Moderate Republicans might back Kerry, that there might be Kerry Republicans the way there were Reagan Democrats. He basically laughed at the idea.

I'm sure he'd think this guy and anyone reporters find like him is either a put up job by Democrats or some bizare anomally.

I think the math is simply in Kerry's favor. Gore won the popular vote last time. I can't imagine a single Gore voter having switched their vote. I can imagine a small handful of center republican having switched theirs.

In addition, I expect a number of people who voted Nader last time around learned the hard way tat there was some differnce between Republican's and Democrats, so I think nader will pull a smaller percentage this time.

I expect there will be ugly, ugly struggles in swing states, especially Florida, which is still run by a Bush and has highly unreliable E-voting machines. I expect terrorist warnings in states that lean Democrat, or inner city areas, I expect ''security" to try to discourage people from going to the polls, or makes the hassle in Democratic areas huge, but I expect the Deomcrats to be ready this time around.

Are you still laughing, Naldo? Do you still think your Kerry is Toast threads and your hot air that Kerry had no chance against Bush whatever are valid? Are you still the exemplar of blind faith or are you just the tiniest bit shaken?
