Subject: [Davis Democrats] Davis Democrat Club meeting on September 6th,
	minutes for July 5th,
	and Don Saylor will attend the ice cream social.
Message-ID: <20040803091545.A901220009A8@mx.dcn.davis.ca.us>

Greetings All,   

The first important news is that the next meeting of the Davis Democrat Club
board will be on Monday, September 6th at 7PM.  This is a holiday, so no
conflict with campaign headquarters activities is expected.  President Tony
Gruska will check with Julie Lacy and if there is a conflict, the meeting
will be moved to start at 8PM.  All board members will be informed before
the meeting if there is a change in time.

I received another RSVP for the club sponsored ice cream social on August
26th from Don Saylor.  All of the city council that were elected in the last
election cycle, March 2004, will be attending and speaking at this event.
Contact Kingsley if you want to contribute to this event and did not sign up
on the list passed out at last night's meeting.  Kingsley can be reached at:
kingsley at counterculture.net

The July 5th minutes are available on-line at the web site on the Newsletter
page.  The address is http://yvm.net/vme/democrats/newsletter.htm  These
minutes will be passed out at the next meeting, but it is hoped that they
will be read ahead of time for approval at this meeting.  The August 2nd
minutes may become available, but with 12 pages of notes, it is unlikely.

The last announcement is that Saturday, August 21, is the day at the Yolo
County Fair that the Davis Democrat Club was assigned to man the booth.  If
you plan to be at the booth, please contact Katie Villegas at 1-916-375-1132
to confirm your time slot or to volunteer,  You can also reach her via
e-mail at katievillegas at charter.net  

That is all for now, take care,

Richard

Hello Democrats -- 

I see that "I" sent two test messages to this list last night -- only I didn't 
send anything. I've run a virus check, and hope you will, too.

To add some substance, the September issue of Davis Democratic News is coming 
together right now. If you have any items you'd like in the calendar for 
September, please forward them to me via email ASAP.

On both counts, thanks!    -- Dan Kehew

Subject: Where Bush-Cheney needs to be

  The Kerry-Edwards Campaign
Mark Mellman, Senior Strategist
Where Bush-Cheney Needs To Be
August 24, 2004 

As a senior strategist for John Kerry, I have prepared this update for the
campaign's most active supporters as we enter the crucial weeks ahead.  It's
clear that your support has put this campaign in such a strong position as
we enter a critical period. Your hard work, activism, and contributions have
allowed our campaign to match the Bush campaign on the airwaves and on the
ground. I can report that all you've done is now paying off when it counts
the most. 

By any standard, President Bush heads into his convention in a very weak
position. His current position stems from the fact that voters judge the
incumbent on his performance and on the state of the nation.  By this
measure, the president is in grave difficulty.  To be counted a success, the
Republican convention must fundamentally alter public attitudes on President
Bush's stewardship of the country.

There are some basic benchmarks by which an incumbent's success can be
measured as the campaign heads into the fall:
1.  The average winning incumbent has had a job approval rating of 60%. Indeed,
every incumbent who has won reelection has had his job approval in the
mid-50's or higher at this point.  In recent polling, Bush's average
approval rating has been 48%.  President Bush must emerge from his
convention having dramatically altered public perception of his performance
in office. 
2.  In recent years, when incumbents have gone on to victory, 52% of voters, 
on average, said the country was on the right track.  Now, just 37% think
things are moving in the right direction.  Thus, President Bush must
convince the electorate that the nation is in much better shape than voters
now believe to be the case.
Every incumbent who has gone on to be reelected has had a double-digit lead
at this point. 
3.  Following their conventions, the average elected incumbent has held a
16-point lead, while winning incumbents have led by an average of 27 points.
Bush will need a very substantial bounce to reach the mark set by his
successful predecessors.
4.  Incumbents have enjoyed an average bounce in the vote margin of 8 points.
On average, incumbents' share of the two-party vote has declined by 4 points
between their convention and Election Day.
5.  President Bush has the opportunity to achieve an average, or even greater,
bounce from his convention.  Typically, elected incumbents go into their
conventions with a 9-point lead, while incumbents who have gone on to win
enter their conventions with a 21-point lead.  Most current polls show the
race quite close.  This gives the president substantial room to bounce. By
contrast, Senator Kerry entered his convention in a far stronger position
than the average challenger.  The average challenger goes into his
convention 16 points behind, while Senator Kerry entered his convention with
a 1-2 point lead.  This gave Senator Kerry much less room to bounce.

However, as the data above makes clear, average is not enough for President
Bush.  Incumbents who went on to win reelection had an average lead of 27
points after their convention.  Indeed, the average elected incumbent --
winners and losers -- had a lead of 16 points after their conventions.  An
average bounce would still leave Bush well below the historical mark set by
other incumbents, particularly those who went on to victory.

Perhaps most important, the average elected incumbent experienced a 4-point
drop in his share of the two-party vote from the post-convention polling to
Election Day.  Thus, to beat the odds, President Bush will need to be
garnering 55% of the two-party vote after his convention.  Anything less
than that and the president will remain in grave political danger.

Greetings All,

I received another e-mail from John Chendo.  He is part of a group of people
trying to find groups of students on various campuses to organize and hold
events for Kerry for President.  If you are part of such a campus group or
know of a campus group, please contact John Chendo.  With the growing amount
of SPAM and the fact that this e-mail list is archived on the World Wide
Web, please either e-mail me or telephone the campaign headquarters at
530-297-7120 and leave a message for John that you wish to help in these
efforts or bring your campus group in contact with these people.  There are
members of the UCDavis group of student Democrats on this list.

Take care,
