I go over there whenever I want a good laugh.

They are upset at the conservative news media.

They only trust CNN and CBS. Who would have thought? I think their average IQ level is about 60.

NBC is using the Knight-Ridder(i think) polls which showed Bush up in various Gore states, wisconsin, maine, minnesota and a couple of others.

[aft_lizard]

I think you are too generous, I think it is like the movie star ship troopers over thre, a bunch of insects led by a couple of brain bugs.

Anyways I think they are dumping CNN as a ally.

We need more marxist street protests in New York. Another week of halfwits parading up broadway and paranoidly attacking anyone who they suspect as being a republican will be just the thing to persuade an additional 5% of rational democrats to vote bush.

Thank you! Thank you! One of my favorites, of "chorus"!
I'm bookmarking this....to play again on election night...when CBS says, "We now project New York for President George W. Bush".

[B Knotts]

Rasmussen had Bush up by 3 in OH, down by 5 in NH, and down by 4 in NY. Ridiculous.

20th Sept Maryland poll here: Bush 48% Kerry 48%

[WashingtonSource]

New York is a battleground state. Who would have thunk?

George has been misunderestimated again. I give his decision to hold the convention in New York City a big piece of the credit for this.

[areafiftyone]

I would too. New York wasn't even in play until after the convention. That convention was awesome!

[Right_in_Virginia]

I as an upstate conservative find this hard to believe. We have some of the most left wing radical residents in the entire nation in the downstate area.

Don't underestimate the power of the Police and Firefighters in NY---especially Queens, Brooklyn and LI.

[freekitty]

I really don't believe these polls.

[Cousin Eddie]

Yes, because it went for Gore in '00.

[thoughtomator]

What did I tell ya three weeks ago? New York is in play, for real!

[Heff]

By the time the election comes around, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon, New Mexico, and others will no longer be "battleground states". Instead they will be New York, New Jersey, Maryland, California, Washington, and Massachusetts.

I aggree 100%..Kerry's new battleground were his strongholds just the month ago!

[azcap]

How can Rasmussen have Bush up by 4 nationally and only down by 5 in NY?

 

Maybe he knows about a secret groundswell for Kerry  in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming???

......Wait till they see this Maryland poll......

It'll be something to watch, that's for sure..... the poll discussed in this thread is a New York poll.:}

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

The DU are expecting some good poll numbers coming from PA. They got the information from a Kerry campaign official.

If the DUers and the Kerry campaign think a one-point lead in PA is "good news," they should continue to drink the Kool-Aid. That's pretty much within the MOE and statistical noise from all the other PA polls out there. The Blue battleground states are not very kind to Kery right now.

[bert]

New York is a battleground state. Who would have thunk?.....


My view is that NY is now lost. Kerry can not turn out his voters. He will loose NY by default.

[True Capitalist]

YAHHHHHA!

Although, living in NYC I find this poll very hard to believe.

I'm counting the days to proudly make one of the few votes for President Bush in my precinct.

[midftfan]

Kerry will still win New York, but it would be sweet justice if he felt uncomfortable to the point that he has to run ads or put in a campaign stop in what's supposed to be a gimme state for him. If Bush is going to pull off an upset in the northeast I'd look for Maine, New Jersey, and possibly Delaware as the likely states. If Bush can carry Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and a few other eastern states it will be a landslide victory.
