What a black day for Bay Area sports. First I have to suffer the indignity of both the A's and Giants being eliminated from playoff contention and then both the Raiders and Niners lose on Sunday. I already kn0w that the first thing I'm going to see at work tomorrow is a grinning reader Beau Palica who no doubt will enjoy his moment of sporting superiority. That is if Beau made it back from Vegas in one piece. He may be a Rams fan but he is foremost a capitalist. If I recall, he took the Niners and the points.....

So does anyone out there believe the USA Today poll that claims the debate has evened things back up? According to USA Today, the race is now deadlocked at 49-49 again. Well just where are those pesky undecided voters? Surely 100% of them didn't suddenly break for the Frenchurian Candidate. Of course then there is a slew of other polls that all show the President still maintaining a lead of from 2-6% depending on which one you're reading. Well I don't think there is any doubt that the debate caused some consternation among conservatives. Senator Kerry never looked better and most Americans are going to judge him on the hour and a half they saw in debate, not the year and a half of the goofy flip flopper we've seen for the last year and a half. The point needs to be driven home that Kerry's record in the Senate is not only forgettable, but utterly abysmal. Not a single noteworthy achievement unless you count his trophy for marrying wealthy socialites. Not every Senator can trade in an heiress worth half a billion for one worth a full billion and not every Senator can claim to have dated Morgan Fairchild. Of course those are not achievements indicative of any ability to LEAD the nation in a time of war.

So as is my recent Monday custom, I spent the morning at Republican Party Headquarters. Let me tell you, tomorrow Reno is going to get a whole lot more beautiful. Thats because tomorrow, the First Lady of the United States and her beautiful twin daughters will be campaigning in Reno for the President. This meant of course that Party Headquarters was a madhouse today. Tickets for the event were available at the office and an unending stream of people were coming in to claim tickets. On top of that, we had more volunteers today and I was happy to see that. Especially as we get closer to the election now, we will need all the help we can get to re-elect the President. Don't forget, you can help, get out and volunteer, if you can't then go to the GOP Website and donate what you can. Remember that the next President is likely to nominate at least one and possibly as many as 3 Supreme Court Justices. It is vital that we replace those justices with solid conservatives who will interpret the Constitution according to constructionist principles and not fly off the handle legislating from the bench.

Lastly never forget to exercise your franchise. The Kerry supporting 527 groups are out there in force, registering voters illegitimately and accepting payment per registrant illegally. Many if not most or all of these are fraudulent voter registrations. Please never underestimate the ability of the left to commit voter fraud in the furtherance of their anti-American agenda. Their lust for power is so great that it over rides any legal or constitutional concerns they might have and if they sense they can win based on the legions of dead, illegal alien and felon voters they register, they will do it. Why else has Kerry already established a group of attorneys prepared to challenge the results of any close election state? Didn't anyone ever teach the left about sportsmanship? I guess not.....
