All I need to remember is the "too close to call" polling the year Reagan buried Jimmuh.....post mortem shows that Carter knew he was toast two weeks before the election; but did we hear any of this?
Nope - it was "too close to call".
I agree. There are snippets of leaks almost weekly indicating that the internals are spooking the Kerry campaign and giving confidence to the Bush campaign..IMO, it has been this way since about mid-May.
Just look at all the tacking Kerry has done, all the gimmicks he has used, all the help he gets from the media *reporting*, for example, that the Senate report clears the administration, but headlined *Doubts Remain*.
Then look at how President Bush has taken the media head-on, Cheney has told off Leahy, Bush retorts *Cheney can be President* and Bush is firm on his support in the South and from his base.
They all know. The media knows. It is the non-political junkies who end up confused, which is the media's goal.
