MEGABOUNCE! CNN Reports Time Magazine Poll: Bush 52%, Kerry 41%, Nader 3%

Wow! Just mentioned by Judy Woodruff. Looking for original source.

So there was an 18 point shift in W's favor since the last Time Poll?

"G** f*** DA**IT. F****g incompetents

Saw that one too. Dummies can get articulate when motivated. (that guy better stay out of bad weather for a while)

OMG! No wonder Susan Estrich is hysterical and SKerry came out at midnight!

We need to be on the lookout for dirty tricks and do anything we can to thwart them.

A lot of of Democrats are going to be losing it soon. They've spent a lot of money and they've invested a lot of their "credibility" in this weak Kerry/Edward's ticket. The best he can do is blather on about his time in Vietnam, which by the way, if you hadn't heard, he was there. Also, they want to attribute any difference of opinion over his awful votes in the Senate to attacks on his patriotism, a non sequitur which he will be called on soon, I'd hope.

Be cautious. Let other polls balance this one single poll from Time.

It's good to celebrate, but this is a battle and not the war.

Rasmussen is showing a 4 point lead.

If we allow them to put Kerry too far behind, then it's too easy for them to report (falsely) that he's gaining momentum when, in fact, it would just be an accurate poll number coming in.

LOL, I am aware of that to which you refer.

Whoa Nellie! And for the Kerry Campaign, it's third down and a country mile to go! George W Bush can take his'n and beat your'n, or take your'n and beat his'n!

According to Matthew Dowd, one of Bush's campaign strategists, you'll know a candidate is dead when the following three things happen:

1. The candidate "shakes up" his staff.
2. The candidate loses control of the agenda.
3. The campaign says "The only poll that counts is the poll on election day."

1 and 2 have already happened. If Lockhart says this today, panic has set in.

I just have to post again. "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood."

This must be the Zell Miller backfire that McCain warned of.

[areafiftyone]

Does that mean he will be voting for Bush now? ;-)

"I see Kerry goin down on the debates. That is unless everyone can stay awake while he is talking"

Senator Kerry *must* throw hail Mary passes in the 3 debates. You know it. I know it. Shrum knows it. Heck, even the lowbrows at DU know it.

How many of those Hail Mary's get caught for big completions, however, is the unknown at this point.

But he has no choice other than to go for the high risk, low percentage plays.

Well, he actually has a choice, but no modern Democrat outside of Zell Miller or Charles Stenholm is mature enough to make it...and that other choice is to simply take the high road, appear gracious, take the loss of the whole election, and by being statesmanlike, set up the playing field for a win in the next election as Bob Dole did for us in 1996 that prepped the battlefield for our 2000 win.

Had Dole gotten nasty and engaged in low percentage, high risk tactics in 1996, he would have still lost, but worse, he would have made it too difficult for Bush to come along to win in the next election in 2000.

Bob Dole took one for the team in 1996. He spoke up against anti-American behavior in 2004, too.

So strange as it may seem, we owe Bob Dole a great deal even though he lost in 1996...because of the *WAY* that he conducted himself even in the face of defeat.

I doubt that the Democrats will follow suit this year, however, and that will come back around to haunt them in 2008.

I agree. Remember, Kerry's "entitled," and you don't want to see that side of him when someone gets in his way. There's this feeling I have that Kerry will make Dukakis look like a champ come November.

[GraniteStateConservative]

They are right, actually. Nominating a guy who voted for OIF was stupid. If they both agree, what the hell is the election about? You have to give voters choices and let the chips fall where they may.

Let's not get overconfident. In 2000 46,000 Floridians voted in both the NY and FL elections. In Philly three predominately black precincts, voter turnout was 110% of registered voters and just two weeks ago in Albuquerque, NM the leftists held a voter registration drive and empty lots showed up. Anybody who thinks this is in the bag and therefore doesn't have to vote could cost us. BTW Dick Moris on the O'Reilly Factor hit the bounce right on the nose.

Thanks for sharing the good news.

What a great way to start the weekend!

Wonder if Katie'll be wearing black on Monday morning? LOL

I want to see how Lawrence O'Donnel (sp.) spins this poll. Just last week as Bush was edging up in most polls he kept his spinning mantra alive - "it's within the margin of error, it's within the margin of error," blah blah blah.

Spin this Larry!
