Why do I have this feeling those two polls....Time and Newsweek werea set up.....that will show a Kerry comeback in the weeks to come.
That's what I thought when I saw them. The MSM wants to paint a comeback kid story, so what better way than to exaggerate the polls. It's a gamble, but it lets them write story after story about Kerry coming back with snips from his campaign rallies at Burger King and Bowling Alleys.
Yup. It's the same way the MSM helped Kerry through the primaries.
Kerry's not going anywhere. My friend's wife is a democrat. Just a regular democrat. Her and her friends don't like Kerry. They are not voting this year.

Because you are right. The best way to get a grasp on the bounces and changes is to just watch one poll. Even if the actual numbers are off, the changes in those poles will reflect the momentum.
The Rasmussen people gave Bush a 6-7 point bounce and ultimately a 4-5 point lead. No more. This makes sense based on what has consistently been said about voters having already made up their minds.
My prediction: we are back to 47/47 by the debates. The outcome of the debates will make the difference barring an October surprise.
This is why it is still so important not to gloat in overconfidence about our touchdown while we give the other team the chance to take the ball down the field.
