Okay, just found my brain. Likely voters vs. registered voters:
Dems are getting demoralized, will not be going to the polls...
"Can anyone name a single platform this guy is running on (except Vietnam)?"
Ann Coulter was a bulldog last night on H&C, demanding that her not-so-worthy opponent tell the public one single plan of Kerry's. "Just tell us if he's for or against the Patriot Act!" was one question. The guy could not come up with one issue on which Kerry has taken a stance. He was pathetic.
Yeah, those Michigan Buckeyes are something!
Indeed. The complacency I am seeing around here is disturbing. Remember that the RAT 527 A.C.T. has $150 million of Soros' cash to spend on voter fraud, with ZERO on our side to counter it. If Kerry gets close at all, look out. Their 46,000 fraudulent NY/Florida voters were the tip of the iceberg.
Wait for what?
With the Dems' powerful get-out-the-vote machine,
"registered voters" is what matters in a poll.
This news from Ohio is certainly good, but mainly
because the previous news was awful. A one-point
lead is nothing to be complacent about.
In addition, if she's calling the results in
other states "very interesting," that suggests
to me that they're counter to the pro-Bush trend.
We may see some disappointing numbers tonight.
Am I reading this wrong or does this imply there's a slew of unregistered voters planning on registering to vote for Bush? Would this be the 18-22 crowd?
With respect, you are reading this wrong. It is typical that likely voters lean more Republican than registered voters. Whereas many people might register, Republicans are more likely to actually bother going to the polls.
LOL.. that reminds me. A DU thread about why they were voting for Kerry had one of them post that he's been unemployed for 51 months.
Nevermind the ridiculous amount of time in which he couldn't 'find' a job, but that he didn't even realize that his number puts him going unemployed smack in the middle of Clinton's last year.
But, going that long doesn't make one unemployed, it makes them a bum.
After what we went through in 2000 we all deserve a short night.
people in Ohio aren't stupid you know! Of course they'll vote for Bush. Why? because they can tell the difference between proven results such as a growing and expanding economy, despite the odds Bush still did it, a President that does stuff he says he'll do (that's a big change from things in the 90's!), and an offensive measure being taken on terrorism, not a cowering dog-tail-between the legs tactics someone else will take on
v.s.
mass-hatred-media spewed rhetoric and propaganda from michael moore, and the countless anti-Bush I-Hate-Bush, Bush-must go, Anyone-but-Bush groups out there!
Missouri, once again, is Bush Country...always has been in EVERY poll, tho some closer than others. The Carnahan candidacy is the only reason 2000 was close here.
I think you can probably figure Wisconsin as a Gore state most likely to go Bush....
The GOP has to keep the pressure on.
How long will it be until we here John Kerry labeled as the comeback kid part II. They'll invent some story where Clinton on his deathbed gave Kerry the motivation and push to win. Total B.S.
Once again this was declared a MAJOR POLICY ADDRESS.
I thank the Lord that we are winning. Our soldiers deserve a man of honor to be CinC
It bears notice that the unemployment rate in Ohio, last I saw it, was really not that bad, as borne out by the July numbers. The unemployment is so localized that the disgruntled are not widespread...if they're disgruntled at all. I mean -- 94.3% of the state is employed with only a 5.7% unemployment rate. That's one of the best numbers in decades, so there simply isn't any gas in Democrat argument.
Ohio Unemployment Rate Stable In July (http://www.wcpo.com/news/2002/local/08/16/ohiounemp.html)
Reported by: 9News Web produced by: Liz Foreman Photographed by: 9News 8/16/02 1:04:00 PM
Ohio's July unemployment rate remained unchanged from the revised June rate of 5.7%. The national rate for July also stayed the same, at 5.9%.
Ohio Job and Family Services Director Tom Hayes says the labor market was steady. He says there were slight gains in the retail trade and service sectors but describes overall hiring as cautious.
Morgan County has the highest unemployment rate in the state, at 13.3%. Holmes County has the lowest at 3.1%.
The state says unemployment rates decreased in about 3/5 of Ohio's 88 counties. Ten counties still had rates higher than 8.5 percent.
The May numbers by county and city show that the rates are high in some of the rural counties (especially appalachia -- low population, in general) and in bigger inner cities (read chronic unemployed)

OH is going to come down to turnout. But with that said, we feel we not only have the advantage on the ground, we think we have an advantage on the issues as well. In terms of OH politics.
The WOT and patriotism are very important elements to the electorate of OH. We win on both these issues.
Where we need to build on is with regard to the issue of the economy. No denying, OH was hit hard by the inherited recession. Nonetheless the Kerry campaign, the 527's as well as the media have been doing their best to use this issue against us.
We need to find a more effective response. We need to set the record straight when it comes to how effective the economic policies have been of the GWB administration. And how these policies are having and will continue to have a very positive impact for the State of OH.
This economy issue you can ditto to all of the Midwest States.
This explains the few moments of Daschle I saw on CSPIN yesterday. Talking about bi-partisan ship in getting reforms for our intelligence community.
"W" is for wrong. Vietnam and that.
Did he mention the big signed W poster he has on his bedroom wall?
