I just can't imagine America at this time in our history voting for a man as flawed in his policies,voting record and character(yes,I said character) as John Kerry.(See Winter Soldier site for a look at his character)

He lies..no one has questioned his patriotism that represents the campaign.I,however, do.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A whopping sixty percent of Americans call themselves “very conservative” or “somewhat conservative” and thirty-seven percent of Americans call themselves either “very liberal” or “somewhat liberal.”

I'd like to believe that this is true. If it is, how did Al Gore get more (popular) votes than George Bush? Has sentiment changed that much in four years?

"He lies..no one has questioned his patriotism that represents the campaign.I,however, do."

I'm with you all the way on this issue.

Just who the hell says that we can't question the "patriotism" of someone who through their public comments/actions give aid and comfort to our enemy? What is especially galling, is that these comments/actions are made solely for the purpose of personal gain. Frankly, people like Hanoi John Effin Kerry, Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy disgust me. In either case, they are beneath contempt.

I believe September 11 caused a lot of people to grow up and realize how much we would be "up the creek" with Gore as CinC. Bush's poll numbers should go up as it become more evident that the Rats have nothing to offer in Kerry.

It can happen when dead people and incarcerated people vote. Also, when some of the military vote is denied at the behest of the democratic party it can happen as well.

Sentiment has changed somewhat, but not that much. The American population has been much more conservative than the voting record indicates for at least the last 50 years. The reason the votes did not reflect this has been the virtual monopoly of the left in the OldDomiantLiberalMedia. People can only make decisions on the information that they have. When they are constantly fed bad information, they make bad decisions.

The OldDomiantLiberalMedia pulled out all the stops to keep Clinton in office, and to try to elect Gore. But, with the new media out there and increasing in market share, they could not quite steal the election. More truth is getting out now than has happened in the last 50 years. Fox news was not a factor in the election of 2000. It will be in 2004.

In sum, more truth is available to more people, and it is making a difference.

...how did Al Gore get more (popular) votes than George Bush?

One theory I have heard is that in states where the outcome could not be changed the absentee ballots just were'nt counted. I believe that absentee ballots tended to favor W overall, too.

[xzins]

I'm leery of any question that ties directly to the opinions of the media talking heads.

For months the nations been told "economy and war, economy and war...those will be the critical issues."

Then they survey the people and find them saying, "economy and war."

Which came first?

I'm actually not worried about the economy at all.

[vanmorrison]

...And John Effin Kerry is ahead in the polls!

New York (sadly, my home state) and California.

I just do not believe this is true. I have read opinion here and in other forums that many absentee ballots are not counted, perhaps in a place such as CA or NY. Does anyone have definitive proof of such inaction and if so, can you provide a link or substantive evidence?

Funny how he's attempting to use our flag now. The same man who mocked it on the cover of his anti-American diatribe book New American Soldier, the same man who had an empty flagpole for the longest time outside his office until a reporter questioned the staff on it. His patriotism is to be questioned since he sees the United States and our soldiers as the bad guys. We are apparently the problem to Kerry and his ilk. You can go back over speeches, his RECORD and it will show you that. And he continues his traitorous actions today when he called al-Sadr's paper and viewpoints a 'legitimate voice' and I hope the Bush campaign will find a way to enter that into the campaign. That is reminiscent of his calling American GIs still fighting in Vietnam war criminals-he's legitimizing a radical nutjob's call for violence against our troops. He is a lowlife and a nutcase.

[Reagan is King]

The Battleground Poll does not ask questions like “Which would you prefer more, reelecting President Bush or preventing Armageddon?”

LOL

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Gore received almost 51 million of the 103 million votes cast.

Bush 50,456,002 47.87%
Gore 50,999,897 48.38%
Nader 2,882,955 2.74%

link to 2000 results .

There were about four million absentee ballots included in these results.

It would take massive amounts of voter fraud (not impossible for the dems, but unlikely) for Gore to have gotten 51 million votes from 38 million liberals. It is also unlikely that 12 or 13 million conservatives would have voted for him. Either this poll is overly optimistic for our side, or else the country has made a dramatic move to the right in the last four years. I'm hoping for the latter, but I don't believe it.

I'm not sure what that means as it's all an individual thing as to how you identfy ones self.... In the exit polling for 2000 self identified conservatives made up some 29% of the voters and 17% of those voted for Gore.....

				GORE	BUSH	BUCHANAN	NADER
	On most political matters, do you consider yourself:
	% of total		category	% of category
	21		Liberal	80	13	1	6
	50		Moderate	53	43	1	3
	29		Conservative	17	81	1	1

The question was based on who y'all would vote for today if we could re-vote the 2000 election. The events of 9-11 altered the political landscape. You would have to ask the Battleground Poll what the self-description percentages were in 2000. I would wager that there were more than 2% who had listed themselves as 'moderates' then.
