A Bit o' OptimismSome of you think I'm being a nervous Nelly. Well, I'm just telling you my gut, which frankly changes week-by-week. If you want to prove me wrong-- vote. But just to inject a little optimism into the discussion, Hugh Hewitt interviewed the indispensible political analyst Michael Barrone, a man who has a reputation that's more important to him than political pimping. He says that Bush could win 35-36 states. That's not as big a statement as it may read at first blush; for one thing, a lot of things could happen. I could, for example, be hired on as Paula Zahn's guest-host for election week. For another, we already know (or at least we hope!) that Bush is going to win a majority of states, but many of those states are pretty small. Still, sounds kinda good to me.
Update: Hugh Hewitt also links an article further exploring John Kerry's continuing insistence on posing as a "real man" and "regular guy" who "really digs this crazy new sport of 'Base-Ball' that's so popular with the masses" and yet who continues incorrectly announcing the scores of Red Sox games. He reminds me of Dennis Finch from Just Shoot Me, a geeky guy lying to his wife in an effort to appear more manly. When Finch was actually exhibiting his prized Abyssinian at a cat-show, he claimed to have been playing rugby. "It was rough stuff," he said. "Lots of blood. I scored two tabernacles and a walkabout." Go Sox! Really knock those tabernacles out of the park. Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Kim Richards: CNN/Gallup/USAT have Bush up by 8, 51-43, in Florida. Oddly enough, Florida is shaping up to be semi-safe for Bush. That CNN article is pretty funny. Although the main hed announces their own poll shows Bush beating the crap out of Kerry, a sub-hed is quick -- too quick, one might say -- to announce that other polls show the contest tighter. Once again, the liberal media seems to be rather begrudging about their own polls when they show the wrong man ahead. posted by Ace at 01:56 AM
CommentsHijacking this thread too: Was it Tuff Turf that opened with the guy riding a bike and singing, boo-bop-a-lee-bop, my baby? Cause I kinda thought it was but I might be confused because I thought that was Matt Dillon doing that, not James Spader. But I was all wet about Switek being played by Chris Penn the other day, too, so I'll look to this group of Tuff Turf experts to straighten me out. Good to hear that from Barone. Hewitt's predictions along this line seemed a little fanciful but this is a nice boost. Posted by: See Dubya on October 26, 2004 02:16 AM
I actually don't know. I only half-saw parts of it at a party. I had never heard of the movie before. I asked a guy, "Why are you showing this stupid movie?" and he said, "Kim Richards, man." And so I watched her dance around a bit, but what the movie was about, I could not say. It seemed to involve James Spader on a motorcycle and Kim Richards playing a Madonna-clone called "Frankie" or something. Posted by: ace on October 26, 2004 02:55 AM
She also was in the sitcom "Nanny and the Professor" Posted by: ordi on October 26, 2004 03:04 AM
Hewitt: Interesting that comes out in the Scotsman, not an American paper. Florida: This is Kim Richards in a white sequined push-up bathing suit, blazing away with a .454 Casull, driving a Jaguar with Tawny Kitaen on the hood banging a cowbell good news. Tuff Turf: I saw it at a friends' house and I think, looking back, he may have been more interested in James Spader or whoever the Boobopaleebop guy was cause he replayed that like eight times.

That was me with the boobopaleebop stuff.

Kim Richards....now there's a blast from the past! She rocked as Tia in "Escape To Witch Mountain" with Ike Eisenman. Posted by: Da Goddess on October 26, 2004 04:33 AM
Unfortunately, the Kim Richards nude scene in "Tuff Turf" used a body double. When I learned that, a little light went out of my life. Don't forget that everyone's favorite drug user, Robert Downey Jr., was also in that movie. Posted by: Brass on October 26, 2004 09:53 AM
Tuff Turf? Tuff Turf? How on earth did that come up? I have not thought about that film in 10 years!!! Why would I? I do not feel as alone in the world as I did when I woke up this morning. What a strange, strange reaction to a obscure movie reference. Thank you, Ace. Posted by: Tom Vaugahn on October 26, 2004 10:19 AM
Ace, all you need to know about this coming election is where the candidates are campaigning. Yesterday Komrade Kerry and Comrade Clinton were campaigning in Philly, an area that should be so solidly locked in for them that they wouldn't bother. Posted by: Peter on October 26, 2004 12:48 PM
