[N. Theknow]

When I watched Kerry make a fool of himself with
Edwards last night, I said to the lovely Mrs. Theknow, I think someone has seen the internal polls and is taking some extra strength pain medication; three fingers at a time.

She had a "deeply-saddened" look on her face.

Note the pro-Bush movement on many issues. How much of this is due to the convention? Beats me. Given the dates involved, I'd say not all of it.

I was watching Judy Woodruff when she received this information, just a few seconds ago. Obviously, she was surprised. as we type, CNN's Bill Schneider is number crunching. Can't wait to see how Mary Cahill spins this...shse's coming up on CNN with Marc Racicot to discuss Bush's speech and he convention.

[Onelifetogive]

52% would vote for President George Bush, while 41% would vote for John Kerry and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader

There is still a long way to go in this campaign..... I still expect to Kerry and Nader change positions....

[Trust but Verify]

It's going to go even higher. This poll was taken only through the 2nd. Last night's speech not even taken into account.

[chalkman]

If that is true then that is incredible.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Now, folks, let's not get smug and assured. I want to see the Democrat Party totally destroyed this November. To come even close to doing that, we are going to need every single vote we can get. Kerry is toast, but he is only the face of the problem. The monster (the Democrat party) that carries Kerry & Edwards face needs to be destroyed forever!!!
