Are you posting that twice? (See previous message.)

Things must be different in you neck of the woods. In all the places I've 
looked (and elsewhere, judging from calls to the big talk shows) the dems and 
their socialist ilk are getting their message out with almost NO opposition. 
Their ads are running at saturation-level here with only 1 or 2 spots per day 
from the other side, and those in poor placements.
 
I'd love for it to be different but I'm not betting on it. All we have on our 
side is reason and it doesn't pack the wallop that panicky emotion does.
