The X-Factor

Guess what? The republicans are scared shitless. The reason is the X-factor, all those first-time voters, the youth who are just now coming of age to vote. Never before in the history of the United States has there been such an unprecedented rush to register new voters. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel http://www.jsonline.com posted an article about the stupendous turnout in Madison, Wisconsin for a Kerry/Bruce Springsteen political rally. Now I'm not saying some came to hear the 'Boss' but this is unusual. 80,000 people is a LOT of people to come to a rally. Look at the photo (enlarge it) and notice that there are people as far as the eye can see. This my friends is the X-factor that the Republicans are scared of. A factor the polls can't count and have no idea how they will vote. Might I point out that the polls only count the "known" voters. I personally work at a college in the City of Milwaukee and I think that the majority are in favor of Kerry. Most of them are sick and tired of the war and the fear-mongering of the Bush administration. They have been very active in a get out the vote drive and I am sure that they will cast their vote November 2nd for their favorite candidate. They call Wisconsin a Swing State and I think it will set the stage for the rest of the nation. This I'm sure is going to be an interesting election if not a contested one if the vote is close. My prediction is that it will not be. I predict it will be a landslide. My vote is for Kerry.
