Clinton Doesn’t Have His Heart in It
If this is all Kerry got out of Bill Clinton, he might want to hire an intern for the next stump in Florida...what a dude of an endorsement and stump speech by Bill - and no, it is not because he is still in recovery. Clinton doesn't have the heart to campaign hard for John Kerry, it is obvious here:

A smiling, energetic former President Clinton campaigned for Democratic Sen. John Kerry on Monday just seven weeks after undergoing heart surgery, telling a cheering crowd of thousands that Kerry "is going to make America the comeback country."

"If this isn't good for my heart, I don't know what is," Clinton proclaimed.

Democratic strategists hoped Clinton's appearance in the final days of the campaign would provide a jolt of excitement that would help energize the Democratic base and attract undecided voters who had supported Clinton.

"From time to time, I have been called the comeback kid. In eight days, John Kerry is going to make America the comeback country," Clinton said.

The former two-term president said he hoped his involvement on behalf of the Massachusetts senator "can affect a few votes."

Clinton, who also planned a solo campaign event in Florida later on Monday, criticized President Bush for "more of the same" bad policies.

Clinton and Kerry walked on the stage together, with Clinton taking a quick step up as a blizzard of confetti filled the air.

The former president smiled, waved and shook hands with some of those in the crowd at Love Park in downtown Philadelphia. Some supporters waved signs with "8" on them, signifying the number of days left to the election.

‘Blue Helmet’ versus ‘Free Market’
Consider the obvious; John Kerry is spending his last days campaigning with former President Bill Clinton in Pennsylvania. President George W. Bush is asking Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to stump for him in Ohio.

It is no secret that Bill Clinton has his sights set on becoming the next UN Secretary-General, following Kofi Annan. John Kerry has already offered the "Global Test" and "Truth Test" in this campaign, running our national defense and security through the United Nations and the world's opinion. This is nothing more than the "Blue Helmet Tour" directed by Kerry and Clinton.

On the other side of the Swing State border, Ohio is being visited by Bush and Schwarzenegger. Here we have two political leaders representing the free market enterprise, capitalism and 'owning one's own liberty and freedom'. When it comes to defense, one has lead the war on terrorism for three years, the other remembers what it looked like when a dictator was on the prowl and running roughshod over the globe.

A stark difference wouldn't you say?

Democrat Chicanery with Ballots
Have you seen this 'Butterfly Ballot' from Cuyahoga County (Cleveland area), Ohio?

Take a look at the ballot in Cuyahoga County Ballot column from World Net Daily today.

Cleveland and Cuyahoga County is solid Democrat stronghold. Where are the Democrats screaming about this confusing and DECEPTIVE ballot?

This is the type of "trickery" that the Dems are up to. Even in a solid Democrat county, they offer chicanery for the voters.

Get ready for a raucous ride come Election Tueday night!

Bush Needs Popularity Too
How important is California for President Bush?

Early on I was a 'believer' in the possibility of a Bush win in California. My reasoning was simply, voter turnout, or the lack thereof.

I believed (and I still do in many areas) that the Democrat Party was not excited about US Senator John Kerry. Noticed I said 'excited' rather than 'in love with'. I believed it was below the admitted acquaintance level during the early portions of this campaign.

After the first debate in Florida, where Kerry out performed the President in format, style and presentation (not content), the Democrats started to actually 'like' their John Kerry and the 'low voter turnout factor' was adjusted, to my dismay.

But there is still purpose for Bush in California.

Due to the high turnout of registrations nationwide and the well organized GOTV mission by the Republican Party over the past three years, the number of votes in this election will be near 105 million. This is an increase of 12 to 15 million votes over 2000. (Notice I didn't say voters or citizens here)

For the Bush Team, there is a reported 'surge of support' in states that he didn't win in 2000 and was not predicted to win for 2004. This surge is affording the Bush voters a new mission.

If President Bush wins the Electoral College tally with a ballpark of 280 votes, the next area of focus for the media and the Democrats will be the popular vote. I know it doesn't mean a 'hill of beans' according to the Republic's Constitutional rules and protocol, but it could mean everything when we are talking about all of the prepared lawsuits that will be filed come midnight of November 2nd.

In California and New York alone, President Bush is poised to gain 2.0 million votes this year versus 2000. Two of these are states he cannot win, but voters can seal the win come November 3rd.

So, if you're in New York, California, New Jersey or even the 'now in play' Michigan and Hawaii...get out and vote. The winning states will bring the victory...but the popular vote can silence the anarchy and save our Republic from crisis!
