Oh, my ever loving God! This is too rich.

Where do I go to collect my "winnings"? I predicted a 10 pount lead after the convention another thread.

Oh, wait a minute. This is an 11 point lead -- I guess I didn't hit the target, but I should at least get a consolation prize.

"Oh, wait a minute. This is an 11 point lead -- I guess I didn't hit the target, but I should at least get a consolation prize."

Well, apparently I'm buying...because I only predicted a 4 point bounce.

Oh well, I can live with 11!

5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires

The real reason for any Bush jump in numbers? Because with cable tv and the internet, a candidate can't lie without getting caught. Examples;

Kerry accuses Cheney of challenging his patriotism, and he does it after it's posted all over exactly what Cheney said.

Kerry blasts Bush for loss of jobs, within minutes after experts have given the exact number of new jobs that were created.

Kerry attacks Bush for going after his Viet Nam service, but everyone has already heard for themselves, several times, Bush praising Kerry's combat record.

People know if Kerry lies this openly, he will lie about other things. A Bush speech writer for Bush explained another falsehood. He said people heard Kerry introduce himself as a brave warrior, a Viet Nam hero. But later they hear from others, that Kerry was a vocal anti war protester, so they conclude, Kerry was deceptive.
