Some nights it's tough to string together two coherent sentences

The mind gets full. It bursts. And I never look back. No matter how terrible the post.

Now it's time to unload again.

I talk to folks, good, hardworkin' folks. Some folks express doubts that we will win the election and secure the Oval Office. I do not hesitate to bolster their spirits and share five reasons why you should lack that doubt.

First: the cell phone toting transient lifestyle of generation X, plus all those people (Zogby methodology) who have been displaced by the economy since late 2001 (when the 2002 phone listing was compiled) and are not polled.

Second: the current poll numbers suit the needs of the pollsters. The polls would be worth much less if they showed the long-standing runaway Kerry victory. Daily numbers are not worth the money at that point.

Third: media corporations profit from indecisive numbers.

Fourth: Gore won last time. With thousands of voters robbed of their voting rights in silence. And thousands who voted for Nader, who will (100%, at least among those that I know) cast Kerry ballots this time around, because this one is too important to let it be close.

Fifth: Gore failed us. Kerry will not. Gore was afraid of looking like a sore loser. He did not fight for us when we needed him. Kerry will.

I've heard the idea that people are afraid to vote for Kerry thinking that he would be worse for safety than Bush. I think that's one of the most deflatable ideas oozing out of the Bush camp.

The facts are: we're getting our ass handed to us in Iraq. Global terrorism is on the rise. This game plan is not working. And Cheney keeps reminding us that there will be another attack, somewhere, sometime with a nuclear or biological weapon of mass destruction. It's an admission that they have no idea how to ensure our safety.

President Kerry will likely have the EU, NATO and many other nations back at the negotiating table before Inauguration Day. Then we can move towards stability in Iraq, by providing complete training to Iraqi police in a much less lethal environment. When they go back fully trained and well equipped, then they will have a hope of surviving and ending the insurgency.

At the same table, they could discuss global solutions to international terrorism. When the governments around the world police their own neighborhoods, we will all be safer. At least as safe as we were before April 20. Or September 11. Or December 7.

Bush also talks about if Kerry had been president for these last four years. This sounds like desperation - grasping at straws for idiotic points of nonsense. What does this have to do with anything that's happening now? Kerry was not on the ballot last time. How could he have been president?

Then again, if he had been president, Saddam Hussein might still be in power. In power of what? His nation had been powerless for years. He couldn't even fly an airplane in his own country. We kept an eye on him. He was no threat to anyone. That's our point.

Tonight, America, rest assured. Kerry will win the election for us next week.
