Hey, I lived in Boise from Summer of 1977 to winter of 1978. I would have gone back had it not been for meeting my wife her in Ohio. Ever heard of Bogus Basin Ranch?

Is that how Kerry got the Nod?
People went with "electable on paper" instead of the candidate they liked, I think.
My democratic friends agree that they chose the candidate they thought could beat Bush. The details of what the candidate stands for was unimportant. :o It was interesting to watch them sway with the wind when each new poll came out. :roll:

In my opinion, though I never would have voted for him, Dean is the better candidate. At least he stands for something.
I would have taken a serious look at voting Democrat - ANYBODY BUT KERRY!!

It's been a L-O-N-G time but I thought it was on Bogus Basin Road. It was on the outskirts of town then heading into the foothills. I worked there for JR Simplot.

I think they should all spend more time running the country and less time running for office...The check for 75 million that Kerry got should be used for something more important than more balloons and fanfare...

nycparrothead wrote:Seriously now. The poll numbers for John Kerry are expected to jump 8-10% following the Democratic National Convention! Why? Are 8-10% of the people actually stupid enough to change their vote just because they watched a pep rally with balloons and confetti?
Now don't take this wrong. I'm not saying that people should or shouldn't vote for John Kerry, this isn't an anti-Kerry post, just an anti-idiot post! It boggles my mind how simple-minded voters are and how they will change their vote just because of a bunch of fanfare!
I'm all for the right to vote, but jeez, sometime I really wonder... :roll:
I'm sure Bush's numbers will jump after the RNC, also. Only because all this hoopla for the convention has made him fresh in people's minds.
