And after all the publicity the media can shove on Kerry, the are in a dead heat.

What a loser.

I honestly don't have an opinion on what the polls indicate in terms of weakness or strength in the respective contenders. I just take them for what they are and I know that everyone will try to interpret them in favor of their favorite.

This is what I know: If Kerry wins in November, the current polls will be interpreted as a sign of Bush weakness & Kerry strength (i.e., 'Bush was trailing most of the year, as the voters rallied around his opponent in their search for an change in Washington'). If Bush wins in November, the current polls will be interpreted as a sing of Kerry weakness and Bush strength (i.e., 'Kerry was never able to capitalize on widespread concerns about the economy and the situation in Iraq, despite early polls indicating a competitive election').

So, whatever. We shall see what happens. These polls are meaningless.
