More Cool Your Jets Advice

from The Elder at Fraters Libertas

Deserve Victory!

Steady on crew. If you've been reading the early exit polls at NRO's The Corner all day and are just about ready to give a Kent Brockmanesque welcome to our new Democratic overlord, snap the hell out of it. It's going to be a long day/evening and we can't be running around like chicken littles at the first hint of bad news. Stay strong, keep the faith, and if you haven't voted yet, get 'er done.

Mary Matalin Knows More Than I Do

I'm a nervous wreck, but Mary's not.

from The Corner...

FROM MARY MATALIN [KJL]
I said to her, "The blogosphere is going batty." Her quick response, "Batty? Lord have mercy. One exit; bad model. Look to history. Early exits are never right. also read Mellman in the Hill today. The bloggers need to do some lamaze, open a bottle of good red, get ready to party."

My Predictions for A Beautiful Morning (and evening)

The Bush campaign has done everything right everywhere except here in California. If I was the President, tomorrow morning I would be breaking up with Parsky and his whole team of incompetents. In Sacramento, one of the counties you would target if you had any kind of plan, less than 10% of the Republican precincts have precinct captains. If it wasn't for the fabulous community service plan at my alma mater, St. Francis High School, they'd have only a handful of volunteers. What a bunch of losers.

But fortunately, the campaign in the remainder of the country is tremendous, and we're going to have an excellent night.

I'm off to vote and do my bit to Get Out The Vote.

Care to make your own predictions?

A Beautiful Morning
by Felix Cavaliere & Eddie Brigati

It's a beautiful morning
I think I'll go outside for a while
(and just smile)
Just diggin' some clean fresh air for
(no sense in stayin' inside)
If the weather's fine and you've got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan
Another brand new day (lead the way)

It's a beautiful morning
Each bird keeps singin' his own song (so long)
I've got to be on my way now
(no fun just hangin' around)
I've got to cover ground
You couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
And you're still inside (shouldn't hide)...

There will be children with
robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each
new waking hour

Seems to me that people keep seein'
More and more each day
(gotta say) lead the way (it's ok)
Every day you got to say it's ok

Wouldn't it be great if we held the margin for Kerry in California to under 5 percent!!!
