MSN/Slate now shows defeat for Bush in current electoral count
MSN Slate ^ | 10\18\04 | bill

Chill me out, somebody.

This site has shown a consistant decline in Bush's electoral count over the weeks, and now shows Kerry over the top after the latest state poll in NH shows Kerry moving squarely into the lead there.

It seems to be pretty accurate, even showing NJ as a tie.

All of the prior graphs are linked at the bottom, so you can compare them to the current one.

Since I am also a new user, I'd like to share a polite comment or recommendation. Post a bio of yourself and do some "response" postings to other subjects for a period of time before you do a vanity post. This is a jumpy crowd here, especially two weeks before the reelection. Some are quick to attack any suspected "democratic trolls". There is a post that references "Real Clear Politics dot com". Do a google and go there. It will help calm your fears. Most polls show GWB winning handsomely. Best wishes, and remember: keep your head down and lay low for awhile! =) Marcia

Anything posted on Slate needs to be taken with the proverbial grain. Also, it needs to be said that the statewide polls have a considerable lagtime built into them -- meaning that they are still reflecting the brief flirtation that the electorate had with Kerry following the early debate "victories".

National polls are taken far more frequently. Todays most credible national polls show the President sporting anywhere from a 4 to 8 point lead. It's hard to imagine Sen. Kerry cobbling together a narrow electoral college victory if he's facing that kind of deficit come election day.

Well, now that you mention it...

I do like chicken ala king on toast.
I like rainbow trout pan fried with butter but no lemon.
And I like the smell of napalm in the morning.

You people actually think that I'm a troll?

Well, my wife and I just voted for Bush today right here in Saint Lucie County, Florida.

Guys, I may have asked a question that made the members here not happy, and too bad for it, and I may not have filled out my Bio yet, but we don't have time to sit around and reply to posts, get to know everyone and all that. The election is here, now, and I simply had a question.

If you want to see a bio, just go to www.ferrarichat.com and search any post by gabriel, click on the avatar and you can see my bio along with the wife and Testarossa, here in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, bullseye for two back to back hurricanes.
I'll fill out more info here. Just didn't know that you could have a profile here.

FWIW, i did see the other (RC)polls, and I had noted that they used many of the same pollsters, but Slate always chose the one that would put kerri in the most favorable light, while RC seems to use averages.

Actually, I do think that you should visit www.ferrarichat.com

You can see the famous left coast liberal lawyer, Arthur C. Chambers in action there under the handle ART360

And bill1952 refers to the year that I was born.

It would be good to have positive news for my birthday,
10\29. Yes, I'll be 52. :(

And Bush is going to win Florida, period.

Fascinating that I'm by and large the only guy you respond to when others have mentioned 'troll' in reference to you.

And the Mods seem to think that as well.

Nothing personal or fascinating, it's just that there are so many negative replies here, I figure any post will do since I can't seem to find a simple way to just post a reply to myself or to the thread in general.

*snort*
Uh-huh.

You seem to have found out how to post to me, and posting to yourself follows the same general pattern.

To: Darksheare; All

Why don't we cut the new guy some slack....until he proves that he's not worth the time or trouble. I have read a few of his other posts and they don't seem all that radical. Maybe just a newbie who doesn't know the do's and don'ts? Can always ZOT later if it becomes apparant that he's a Troll.

Well yes, I can see the reply button below every reply, but I don't see any for the original poster to reply to himself or post to the thread.

Hey, thanks Rob.

I don't know what a ZOT is yet, but it doesn't sound good. :)

To everyone:

I AM a registered republican, and I HAVE just cast my early vote for Bush at the Saint Lucie West government annex, and if I've offended all of you that badly by asking a question, well then, my bad.

But I didn't come here to either cause, create, or receive such controversy, so if you don't want me here, okay.

Well, I suppose that you DO get bonus points for responding. We don't much like post and run tactics.

It's not a good idea to post threads on one's first couple days here, at least not if one has a healthy fear of electricity.

Still, you're not off the hook yet. But if you hang around and establish yourself here, kudos to you. It's nothing personal, just how we operate with newbies when many come here just to disrupt our forum.
