Still, for all of John Zogby's wishes and dreams, I think Bush takes this election by four to five points. The reason? The economy. The Dems are desperately trying to change the subject from the economy to Iraq, but Iraq has been enough of a success to avoid the prominence that Vietnam was in 1968. I think this poll has the ring of the right hunch to it, especially given Common Tator's anecdotal information about Ohio and the trouble that the Unions and the local Democrats are having with their people. As Harry Truman is said to have remarked before he went into battle against the favored Thomas E. "Man on the Wedding Cake" Dewey, "Elections are decided by the price of hogs in St. Louis".
John Kerry is trying to make this election about Iraq. Another damn fool decision by a damn fool.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
