CBS is touting their latest poll that a Kerry/McCain ticket "easily beats Bush/Cheney 52 -39). They also tout a Kerry / Edwards ticket is now up 10pts! 50-40!
While CBS polls are junk - they are using these to push poll - get voters thinking "anybody but Bush" - The Bush Team needs to get 527's up and running ad after ad's -
I seen in another article today how the Kerry & Dem 527's have out-spent Bush big time already (this being the period in which Bush was suppose to have the advantage).
It still boggles my mind that the GOP didn't have 527's up, funded and ready to roll this year - You can trace 527's and the running of their ads (with a limited response - really only since March from Bush) with the President's job numbers going down.
While Iraq has something to do with his numbers - I still believe if the Bush Team would have been getting the "success message" out at the same time - many more Americans would feel better about Bush - but instead we had DEM 527's running ads - Kerry running ads (the rest of the DEM primary opponents running only Anti-Bush ads) throw in the media unbelievable biasness and you get a President with only a 42-46 approval rating and in some trouble for his reelection -
I really believe ad's telling Americans about our success - all the good we are doing would have more then off-set all the negative news - American's "get it" (more often then not) - but you have to get the information out to them - you have to be willing to engage! - Americans are lazy when it comes to seeking information (and the truth) and if they are only fed one side - well, like sheep they will start to believe it.
