Yet more morning after musings

The 7-11 coffee-cup poll:
"Our popular vote was absolutely right on," Jim Keyes, the chain's head honcho, told the Dallas Morning News. "We sell a million cups of coffee every day, so our sample size was huge."
I wonder why I never got this chain email about Texas seceding if Kerry won. I'm from Texas and I am still on a huge Austin listserv. Well, anyway, it's a cute chain email.

The Boulevard of Broken Dems.

Yeah, let's blame Bush for everything, including lousy box office.

The Florida hurricanes re-elected George Bush. And guess who is responsible for the hurricanes?

Scenes from a politically mixed marriage, with some cautionary words about surrounding yourself with people who think just like you.

From a GOTV volunteer: Dept. of "What on earth were they thinking?"

DON�T NOMINATE SOMEONE FOR PRESIDENT WHO IS A FUCKING TRAITOR. Since the election is over I�ll just come out and say that I do think that John Kerry�s meeting with the North Vietnamese in wartime while he was still in the Navy does qualify as treason. From doing campaign work in New Hampshire I saw that many older Bush-voters, a lot of whom may have been more inclined to support Kerry on the basis of Social Security or Medicare or whatever, refused to vote for Kerry because he was, in their words, �a traitor�. They didn�t need to be reminded this stuff by all the books, ads etc. that came out because Kerry was running for President. They remembered it!

I say that this might be verging on a matter of principle here because I fear that a certain portion of the Democratic base may have found such things in Kerry�s background to be not a bug, but a feature! As in, �Dude. He was, like, so anti-War he actually met with the other side to broker a peace deal behind the President�s back.� But trust me, lots of Americans, many of them even traditionally Democratic voters; find such things to be a deal-breaker. Thoroughly vet the nominee and make sure they have nothing like this in their background. It�s that simple.

Much more great advice for the feckless Dems, read the whole thing.
