I've had it with these ridiculous polls and pundits claiming everything is a virtual tie. Even all the battleground states are a tie according to them! I have a suspicious feeling that a great majority of pollsters, pundits, and newservices are going to be scraping egg off their faces by 11pm Tuesday evening.
What happened in 2000 was historic because it only happened 1 or 2 times in our history. 2000 was an anomole folks, pure and simple. The chances that this election will be another tie or deadheat are almost like lightening striking the same place twice. Think about it. National polls have a dead heat AND COINCIDENTALLY ALL the states christianed 'battleground' states by the msm a year ago are all 50/50 too? Does this seem strange to anyone else?
I don't like to play conspiracy theorist, so I do not want to claim it is an intentional skewing by pollsters, frankly I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe it's simply a huge error in polling processes. Maybe pollsters are intimidated by other polls as well as general myths about huge new democrat registration numbers and turnout predictions, and thus skew accordingly so as not to appear as the outsider and risk being the only flawed poll come Wednesday.
I believe whole heartedly that Bush will win in a MASSIVE electoral landslide. He will take OH, FL, MI,and run the uppermidwest and south. Kerry will have his usual states plus he will squeak by with PA.
Tie my Ass. That's my call and I'm stick'n with it!
Here's my take. Bush people are EXCITED while Kerry people are holding their noses and voting. Bush has gained among the Jewish vote, the Black vote, the Women's vote. He has a SOLID lead in the male vote. How can it be so close if he's up in all these demographics, some of which he was down in 2000? Bush by 350+. (By the way people, I'm a teacher, please use the spell check will ya!
Kerry loving polsters are scewing toward Kerry so he doesn't appear dead in the water, sinking acutally. I.E., there's hope.
Bush loving pollsters are scewing toward Kerry to motivate the Republican bas e to actually vote and not get lazy thinking it's a wrap.
The internals tend to support that view.
Why Bush would supporters scew toward Kerry for ahigh turnout?
Mandate. It's needed for when Bush appoints judges and generalsupport of the platform outlined at the convention. It's about disarming communist, I'm mean Democrat justification for filibustering.
