I think the country has changed since then. There are less undecided voters than ever before. I'm seeing kerry supporters running voter registration drives. There are more kerry stickers than the gore stickers from the last election. I believe it's going to be a very tough race and Bush may lose.
I see that too, but that's a measure of passion. Gore supporters were not passionate until about 8pm in Florida on election day. Kerry's Kooks are passionate, but they are also very irrational, which turns off lots of people.
"...I'm seeing Kerry supporters running voter registration drives."
Hehehehe, I just thought of something. From now on whenever I run into a Kerry supporter, whether it be at the office, the store or my own front door, I'm going to tell him/her/they that I'm voting for Nader, and let them waste their time trying to dissuade me while they become more and more apoplectic. As they walk off in disgust, I'll shout, "Nader in 04, guys!"
"I think the country has changed since then".
It has changed... more Conservative by all measures!
"There are less undecided voters than ever before".
This is a hard number to define, but there are significant (to being elected) numbers up for grabs. That is ALL that counts... winning!
"I'm seeing kerry supporters running voter registration drives".
I am seeing BUSH supporters running voter registration drives also. Shopping malls, EVERY NASCAR Race, Conventions, email drives, postal drives etc.
"There are more kerry stickers than the gore stickers from the last election".
Your evidence is antidotal at best. I can tell you that I have seen exactly 2 kerry stickers in the South. Both were officials in a local IBEW Union. Contrast that to 2000, when every ship fitter, pipe fitter, and welder working at Engel’s Shipyard (Pascagoula, Mississippi, home of Trent Lott) had a Gore/Lieberman sticker on their car. These same Union workers are sporting fine Bush/Cheney '04 stickers (on new, shiny, late model vehicles, purchased through wages earned thanks to) fine paying Republican passed CONTRACTS).
"I believe it's going to be a very tough race and Bush may lose".
Maybe so, but it is far easier to be re-elected on a record such as the one our Magnificent President has chiseled, than to be a girly-man, blue blood, BILLIONAIRE marrying, gay marriage backing, gun grabbing, anti-defense spending, tax raising, Commie/socialist loving, terrorist appeasing, UN loving, European educated, left-wing protesting, anti business, lying, deceiving, EVIL saturated piece of Monkey-Cr*p war criminal, TRYING to defeat a sitting (WINNING THE WAR) War President, that has GOD, and the TRUTH on his side!
