if not that... then certainly Tilted Nonsense.
of course their rhetoric assumes they will win. showing doubt or worry is an unnecessary show of weakness. if you project any sense of doubt, then your campaign volunteers and voters will also doubt. i watched a documentary on presidential debates yesterday, there was a clip of a political rally where someone said "let me introduce to you, the next President of the United States... John Anderson!" (he ran against both Reagan and Carter in 1980).
you'll hear no different from the Kerry and Nader campaigns... heck, I've even heard it from Sharpton's people before.

It has nothing to do with campaigning or what someone states. IT has everything to do with the fact he has done things that are overtly criminal for the president to do. It has everything to do with the scandals he allows his cabinet members to be involved in.
How can the Sec. of Educ. call the largest teachers Union Terrorists and be expected to deal with them fairly? Obviously he has animosity towards them and they towards him. Yet, nothing was done, why? No big move or appology to save Bush's face and help smooth over votes lost because of it.
What about lieing 3 times about the reason for war? Lieing to Congress (isn't that what the Right tried to fry Clinton on?) and the US people. Yet when faced with these lies they act like they aren't worried if the voters get mad. Why?
Confidence? Doubtful. Even so in a serious economic crisis, record deficits, massive tax cuts for the rich and a destruction of social/education services, a war that he has lied 3 times about, and so on, would be enough for any man to worry about his chances of being re-elected. So why isn't he? It's gotta be fixed or he has a big Oct.-Nov. surprise like oooo maybe Bin Laden, or Saddam coming out with some great revelation. (been awful quiet about Saddam lately hasn't Bush? I'd have thought this "evil" dictator would have been tried by now.)
I truly believe 1 of 3 things will happen we'll see a fixed election, some great action that proves "he is the greatest president ever and the war is hugely successful" a week or maybe even a month within the election or we'll see a terrorist action a week or so before the election and Bush declaring Martial Law and "postponing" them.
I just don't feel this election is going to be legit. Bush has too much to lose.
