Ahhh, the first signs of a resounding victory and panic in the Kerry camp. But I'm really curious as to what stunt Max Cleland will pull next???

It is a happy thing to watch the Kerry campaign implode. It's almost as spectacular as Howard Dean's meltdown.   : )

That poll found Kerry has solidified support among key groups, like blacks and union voters.

So if the polling numbers are about the same or slightly worse for Kerry, that means he's lost support among other key groups.

Hmmmm, wonder what groups they could be?

Do I smell toast?

Yes...and I also smell chicken from the way they're going nonlinear on the Swiftboat Vets.   ; )

Sounds like Bush lost ground in the Gallup poll, but is gaining in all other polls.

[Dr Snide]

notice the dates on the Battleground Poll. Aug 17 to 18. Its over a week old, I bet the numbers are even better for Bush now.

[Rokke]

That's the first I've seen of the Gallup numbers. 48 Bush 46 Kerry is actually an improvement for Kerry of 4 points.

LOL!! sounds like W haves some good mo-mentum going into the convention

I am particularly enjoying this:

KERRY CHALLENGES BUSH TO WEEKLY DEBATES: In Anoka, MN, John Kerry challenged President Bush to weekly debates on the issues.



BUSH CAMP REAX: "There will be a time for debates after

the convention, and during the next few weeks, John Kerry

should take the time to finish the debates with himself.

This election presents a clear choice to the American

people between a President who is moving America forward

and a Senator who has taken every side of almost every

issue and has the most out of the mainstream record in the

U.S. Senate," said BC'04 spokesman Steve Schmidt.

[THX 1138]

The Kerry campaign has rebutted the claims with Navy documents and other veteran accounts...

Well, he's denied them.

Rebutted? I don't think so...

[InvisibleChurch]

thanks for my laff of the day!!!

Depends on the internals and partisan weighing. The most important breakdown to measure trends, IMHO, is the independents. We'll have to see those later as these articles doesn't include the breakdowns.

"Max Cleland will pull next???"

Kerry will roll him on stage in a wheelbarrow.

Cleland will be carrying the footballs onstage and they will proceed to toss a few.

Kerry will then kiss him, on the mouth lovingly.

He then proceeded to tap dance while singing the Ava Maria.

Of course Kerry figures that will get him the vetran vote, the gay vote, the black vote and the catholics.

SWEEEEETT! I love the part about Kerry debating with himself. WTG Bush'04 team.
