5% for Nader? WTF?!! I think Nader's numbers are inflated to make it look like Lurch hasn't reallllllllly lost that much ground! It's more like W/51 to K/44 and Nader/zippo, Nader doesn't even even registering on the radar! How do I know that, for months the pressWHORES have been telling us Nader ain't gonna get squat, and for some strange reason Nader is all of a sudden registering in all of today's polls...LAIRS! Softening my *ss!! Seems to me Lurch is in big doo-doo, and in a HUGH free fall!!! :)

Bush has lengthened his lead over Kerry in providing strong leadership in difficult times. Bush now leads 52% - 41% for Kerry. Bush's lead in early August was 48% - 43%. I'm thinkin' some of this might be the result of the Swifties...

I love their soft language. "slips slightly", "softening". Sounds like its just a teeny-tiny fluctuation. If it were Bush in Kerri's place it would sound more like this, "Bush gets hammered by Swifties. Internals show doom and gloom for the embattled president. An anonymous insider says Bush on suicide watch."

You have the best set of quotes of any freeper bio. Nice compilation.

Yet the national radio news of last hour noted Kerry still holds a strong position in electoral college. Money Talk host also repeated same report.
Bush leads slightly in popular vote, while ol ace pollster Zogby says Kerry with electoral college lead.
I hope Zogby is as nuts on this one as his previous forecasts.

Kerry seems like a brittle person. I don't think he's going to handle this news well. Look for him to lash out more when campaigning.I am waiting for an Edmund Muskie moment.

So if Kerry wins the electoral votes and Bush the popular, does this mean we can act like complete jerks and count non-existent chads?
If Kerry wins, I hope they know that the dirty tricks, Senate games, and nastiness toward President Bush is not and will not be forgotten.
"Not my president" can go for the Kerry camp too.

Kerry has been honing his skills as a debater since his prep school days.
What will screw him up is that he has no core. He's a dancer and Bush will nail him.

To: ambrose
I used to trust Kerry to effectively manage his PR, but he's doing a terrible job of that now. I'm trying to think of what I can trust him to do. Oh yeah! Take the most liberal position on any given issue, and remain a stranger to the truth.
To: ambrose
Ya know whats sad? George Bush has stayed away from the Swift Boat ads that are kiling Kerry's chances, Kerry started this with his constant bragging of his Viet Nam service, Kerry has been caught in his lies. But even so after all is said and done the Democrats will blame it on George Bush and accuse him of personally destroying Kerry.
Even though Kerry did it to himself.

A new TIME poll finds President Bush heading into next week's Republican National Convention amid signs that his opponent's advantage is softening. Two weeks of John Kerry playing defense over his Vietnam record and relentless Republican attacks on what they characterize as his "flip-flopping" on Iraq appear to have taken a toll: President Bush now appears to be in a statistical dead-heat with Kerry in a three-way race among likely voters, with 46% backing Bush, 44% backing Kerry and 5% opting for Ralph Nader and 3% undecided. Yes. Kerry's advantage is at negative two in this poll.

Guess it depends on your definition of Lead or Softening, another marvelous Clinton legacy. No kidding! When I saw the headline, I thought sure this was one poll that still showed Kerry ahead. These people are a sick joke.
To: petertare
1) "Ace" Pollster Zogby hasn't done a real poll yet this year. His stuff is all this unreliable interactive crap.
2) Check out this column from September 2000 analyzing the poll results from 1996 by Gerald Wasserman: "Were the Polls Right? No. Only Once in 4,900 Elections Would Chance Alone Produce Such Failures."

Nope, no bias here folks. Nothing to see. Move along, now...

What wimpy words. Kerry "sips slightly". His lead is "softening". Such delicate, feminine words are very appropriate for John Heinz Kerry.

Bush 46%, Kerry 44% = "Kerry's Lead Softening".
Huh?
