THe media and Dems ALL said Kerry got no bounce because there were too few undecideds.
What happened with that situation? Now they have to face some facts, like loss of their own base?

I remember what the media said when Kerry got no bounce. But just as a reminder for all:

USA Today: "Analysts said the lack of a bounce may reflect the intensely polarized contest. Nearly nine of 10 voters say their minds are made up and won't change."

CBS News: "The lack of a bounce out of Boston could be due to the small number of voters who were undecided before the convention began."

And ABC News didn't even bother to say the lack of a bounce "may" or "could" be caused by few undecideds:

ABC News/Washington Post: "A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Kerry's gain is smaller than usual for a convention bounce, testament to the unusually polarized race, with many voters committing early to each candidate."

So what happened?

I have been writing for some time now, perhaps even one of those times addressed to you, that the "polarized electorate" is a MYTH perpetrated by the media. Only political junkies pay attention to presidential campaign stuff unless they can't avoid it. They haven't been able to avoid the pro-sKerry stuff due to the hundred million dollar campaign of MoveON and other Soros-type folks. The SwiftVets are the only folks who have called into question that junk. There has been very little reason for Bush to counter their junk because of sKerry's terribly liberal record, and that is NOT going to play well in Peoria. When the previously "polarized electorate" discovered that sKerry was NOT a "war hero" that allowed them to rethink their positions on a whole load of stuff.

Now, they hear positive things from the RNC about the President's leadership, and they "suddenly" aren't polarized. The fact is, they haven't been paying attention. If the President had spent time and money worrying about the polls before this time, it would have been a colossal waste of money.

Election campaigns are AFTER LABOR DAY. We're just starting now, and the President will now utterly destroy sKerry on his Senate record.
