Oh, I think if it comes out that Bush 43 was doing cocaine at camp david will Bush 41 was president, that a whole bunch of dems will be switching over and voting for Bush, resulting in a landslide.
:-)
bttt = bump to the top. gets the thread to appear on the latest messages page to draw attention. more important in the "old days"
52% translates to about 320 EVs, which isn't a "landslide" but works for me! If it goes to 55%, you're looking at 350 or more.
She also implies that the President is gay (ain't THAT a good one??) and that Laura and Tommy Franks have a 'thing' going, and that Bush41 molests children and Bar is a witch.
It's going to make people laugh.............and then vote to reelect the President. :o)
Maybe if it's a 10 point stomping, the Dems won't have a hissy, crank up their lawyers, scream about being cheated and robbed, foam at the mouth for four years, and be good sports and mature losers. Nahhhh.
From what I gather, the same book implies Poppy is a pedophile and Babs is a practising Witch. Anyway, I think if they'd have a bigger problem with the claim that Dubya is Gay and brought male hookers into the White House.
Is there some point during an election when polls *do* have merit? I always hear that polls can change on a moment's notice, but as the election gets closer, are they any more reliable? And if so, how close to the election are the polls fairly trustworthy?
Thanks... you had me double-checking the dates on posts.
I have been sending emails to Bush warning him about Laura and Franks!
And to think...all the others on my ward thought I was nuts!!!
Thank God my night nurse let me use her laptop!
Was her last name by any chance....... Ratchett?? ;o)
I am actually not in line yet with the "conspiracy" theory re the Times and NewsWeek polls. The Gallup has a 7 point spread over the Labor Day weekend +/- 3. This could easily translate into a mid-week spread of 10 points or more. Labor Day (and weekends in general) will over-poll the Democrats. The spread on the Times and Newsweek polls is not at all out of the ballpark, given what the weekend Gallup poll is showing.
For reasons I prefer not to get into here, most of our nurses now have duct tape over their name badges.
Maybe, but look at the non-comparative material they are relegated to work with.
Yes and no. There certainly are no guarantees, but the next big test will be in two weeks when we can see how much (if any) of this bounce fades.
If W is still up by five or so points in mid/late September, Kerry will need a miracle to pull out a win.
These particular "revelations" are strictly for keeping the conservative evangelicals at home. C'mon, could you think of anything better to say to try to keep them home than Bush is a gay druggie, Laura cheats, Poppy is a pedophile and Babs a practising witch?
