Wow! Just mentioned by Judy Woodruff. Looking for original source.
I gotta see! BRB
:) Hehehehehe. Never in my wildest imagination, a tar-baby of the opponent's own construction.
Amazing isn't it. These people supposedly do this for a living. They are bordering on incompetent.
Colmes just said "Is it time for Kerry to go negative?" LOL I almost fell out of my chair. Large bounce? YES, colmes must have not watched the news in the last year.
What is the name of the thread. By the way, those people are WHACKED!!
An overnight poll by KING TV Seattle, 500 in survey showed a 55 - 42 margin GW over Kerry statewide (Washington). Wow!!!
LOL!!! This election this week has been fun -- don't know when I have enjoyed a convention as much as I did this week. In fact, I don't remember standing and cheering in my family room before like I did this week! :)
When President Bush is leading, CNN is the authority. Am I the only one who sees this as juvenile?
Same here -- best convention I have witnessed by far! First one I watched every minute of it in years!
Since it is a CNN poll, this means the real lead is likely at least 5% more than shown. And, this poll was before the President's speech which might be good for another 2% and before Kerry's Midnight Debacle which is probably another 1%, So Bush is probably up more like 15+ points.
But regardless it is a huge "bounce" and that is good news no matter what the actual number is.
Bad news for "Boatman" and his sidekick "Boy Blunder".

"A Regular Algonquin Roundtable, that."
Indeed. Unforunately, the uncouth lout who made the asterisked remarks was no Harpo Marx. Could have done for a bit of silence from the poster with a mouth like that. Yeesh. Democrats have SUCH nice manners.
Unfortunately no other polls show an 11 point lead for Bush. Yet. They all show a much smaller bounce.
As yes, the standard reply. The 2000 election does not support your claim.
Attn: John F. Kerry
Subject: Bounce
Senator Kerry, today's polls are a clear example of what a post-convention bounce is supposed to look like.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
p.s. Anyone else feel a electrical surge last night...that was the lights going out at the Kerry for President HQ.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a 49-to-43 percent edge over Democratic rival Al Gore in the latest CNN/Time poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday.
The poll of 2,060 adult Americans, including 1,076 likely voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points and is thus in essential agreement with a CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll also released Friday. That poll gives Bush a 52 percent-39 percent edge over Gore. More important, both polls show the same snapshot of the current state of the presidential campaign: a solid advantage for Bush.
ABC News and The Washington Post both have daily tracking polls today putting the race at 48 percent for Bush and 45 percent for Gore. The latest Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby tracking poll has the contest at 45 percent for Gore and 43 percent for Bush.
I certainly do not think this thing is over by a long shot, and this poll could be an outlier. We'll all see together and maybe the race is closer than 11% spread. 52-41 would mean Bush is getting 26% more people saying that they would vote for him than Kerry.
For the DU people lurking, 52 divided by 41 equals 1.26 or 26% more
For the Deaniacs lurking, percent means parts out of a hundred.
