yay come aboard the truth train. Let's take back Ohio. Supposedly polls show Kerry with 4 point lead. But I've only seen one and that's been on Fox.Does anybody know about the polls on Ohio?

things are looking up, so be easy. Looks like Kerry and Dem "shadow 527s" spent some awful of $$$ on ad-buys there. Now the Swifties have countered with at least $2m of ad-purchases in OH on their own..

From www.realclearpolitics.com some new polling info on OH : http://www.realclearpolitics.com/bush_vs_kerry_sbys.html#oh
most recent one was a tracking poll from Rasmussen (10/7 - 10/13) and that had Bush up +2.

Better than polls, political futures are hinting Bush victory too : http://www.tradesports.com/jsp/intrade/common/c_cd.jsp?conDetailID=25908&z=1097910883562 - Bush (54 x 57 Bid Ask)

Unfortunately, even though I live within a 1 hour drive of Cincy, Ohio..I can not help. Let me explain why, my car is a 91 and it's got a engine valve that has gone bad. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to drive the thing and I'm a college student, and my internet business has slowed since I've been back in school (so lack of cash makes new engine or car little of a option). So for me to do anything, would not be possible. Normally, I'd be like, "Where and when?"....Just I don't have the cash currently to do it. I'm sorry, I would love to help out as much as possible. I hope everyone on here makes an effort to help that can help. In the next few days, I'll do my best to raise cash for a new engine and maybe pull off a last minute help out...I won't promise anything, but I'll do my best.

Good luck to the truth train and SBVT/POWsT.

I am not able to join you all sadly, but had an idea. Someone needs to make note of all the facts (who, what, when, where, why) and write it up real nice and send it to Drudge, FOX, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and so on to get some media covorage and free publicity. Also you may want to inform the local (R) party. Good luck everyone and be safe. God bless.

That's a good suggestion Son!
I hadn't thought about Drudge, and Rush.

I did call and email the Ohio GOP, to
no avail. The receptionist was way
less than thrilled when I mentioned
that I was a SBVT supporter and she
sent me to a voicemail. I left a message
and then sent an email, explaining what
we were planning to do and asking for
suggestions on optimum set up locations.

No response. Anyway, there are enough
folks letting me know that they are "IN"
that we won't need their input. lol Laughing

Please 'message' me if you have a
suggestion for destination. Right now
looks like Columbus next Saturday, and
Cleveland on the 30th. This aspect is
still in the 'drum' so let me know. Wink

I've got the display complete.
Does anyone have a suggestion for
signs for the car doors? We want
this to look like a train. Very Happy

Does anyone here listen to Glenn Beck regularly? He is on 610 WTVN here in Columbus, and my dad (I didnt personally hear it) said he heard something about people from Central Ohio getting some sort of "float" like a parade and driving around Columbus mocking Kerry. Maybe we could get in touch with this group. If anybody here is a premium member of Glenn Beck's show, please listen to the broadcast from this Wednesday I think. My dad said it was about 1/2 hour into the show when it was mentioned.

Any takers from Florida up to Ohio? If others will meet at the state lines or along the route I will plan. Tomorrow will be the last day to put this part together I think. Need to get a route and travel times. Let me know. CTW

Don't forget to take lots of pictures. Especially if you come up on cheering crowds.
