Despite Kerry's free ride from the fawning media,
Bush's numbers are advancing, not JF Kerry's.

[kattracks]

I was reading an article recently, where Kerry's team claimed the public really hadn't had a chance to get to know Kerry.

Well, it looks as though they are getting to know him now, and they don't like what they see.

I just heard a soundbite of Kerry droning on.He has all the charisma of a flat tire.

[Allegra]

I like articles that have the words "Kerry," "slip" and "polls" in the headlines. :)

[kattracks]

Domestic issues sounds good too.

That's supposed to be Kerry's strong point.

[patriciamary]

Sorry to say this, but I'm still very worried Bush is going to lose this election

Kerry could suck the life out of a soccer riot.

John F. Seinfeld has actually plummeted 16 POINTS in 40 days!!! Talk about a complete collapse of support in slightly more than a month! This is from Hugh Hewitt's blog:

WHOA: THAT'S NOT A DROP, THAT'S A PLUMMET: The new CNN/Gallup/USAToday poll shows an extraordinary thing --a swing away from John Kerry of 16 points in 40 days. At the conclusion of the polling on February 17, 2004, Kerry was ahead of Bush in this poll by 12 points. Today's poll shows Bush ahead by 4. I cannot recall any kind of rapid collapse of support for a nominee since I have been closely following these elections, which is to say since 1976. Recall, it is the same polling firm using the same methodology. No wonder Kerry is cussing out the Secret Service. His pollsters have to be seeing the same thing, and John Kerry does not appear to be the sort of person to accept bad news gracefully. UPDATE: EVEN MORE BAD POLLING DATA FOR CURSES JOHN KERRY: Pew asked the question "Which candidate will do a better job defending the country from a terrorist attack.?" Answqer: Bush, 53%, Kerry 29%.

If Seinfeld's numbers are like this barely two weeks after he goes on vacation, what are they going to look like in seven months time? You can see the Democrats are not too happy with the news in these most recent polls.

Former President Bush will go skydiving on his 80th birthday like he did on his 70th and 75th. Not to be out done Kerry will take a nose dive.

Not trying to be a smart a$$ here, but did you ever really have any doubt? He's walking around talking about the UN protecting us, for G-d's sake. Even those who aren't paying attention have a pretty good idea how well they've done in Kosovo and other world hot spots at that game.

I remain convinced that there was massive voter fraud in the 2000 election. The dims are so bitter because they never lose a close election.

[JamesA]

And may he continue to slide down the slippery slopes.

[magua]

And the media is having a high tech lynching of Condi Rice which may be back firing.

You've just defamed flat tires.

Sorry to say this, but I'm still very worried Bush is going to lose this election.

As Jesus commanded us many times, "Do not worry."

Yeah, Bush can still lose this election by being a bigger doofus than Kerry is--but Kerry's in a class all by himself on that one, so if Kerry's the nominee, Bush is safe. The other way Bush can lose is if he goes ballistic on Kerry before the convention, and Kerry defers to Hillary.

Bush is barely campaigning right now--with good reason.
