Campaign--Day One

[previous post in series here]

On the road, beginning at Reagan National airport. (Don't you love that phrase? Reagan. National. airport.) Wearing a "W" lapel pin, but I'm outnumbered by Kerry supporters. Today's annoyance: a lapel button reading "Seek Peace and Preserve It." It's not as if Republicans oppose peace. It's just that we won't shun war to preserve it.

Today's thought: is Florida so fluid that they need lawyers in a county Bush won by 30,000 votes in 2000?

Current inspiration: Ann Coulter's new book "How to Talk to a Liberal (If you Must)," mostly a collection of columns. Coulter was particularly prophetic in her January 29, 2003, piece about John Kerry:

These Democrats want to have it both ways. If the war goes well--a lot of them voted for war with Iraq, didn't they? But if the war does not go so well, many of the very Democrats who voted for the war resolution will have emerged as the leading spokesman for the antiwar position. A vote for the war, surrounded by Neville Chamberlain foot-dragging, is a fraud.

Buy and read the whole thing. And don't miss Ann interviewed by Right Wing News's John Hawkins:

John Hawkins: Do you think we're going to be able to successfully help the Iraqis become a Democratic country?

Ann Coulter: I was kind of hoping they'd go Republican.

I'm kind of hoping to start with Lee county, Florida.
