Kerry's numbers go down after he visits a state.
I just wish the McCollum supporters would "put some ice on it" and support Martinez. Its sickening that Castro, er, Castor, is beating him in the polls.
Man, this last hour has been a 1..2..3..4 punch. The DUmmies must be hysterical.
EGAD! imagine the dem's reasoning behind this year's demands for recounts and accusations of disenfranchisement!
Kerry will lose Florida. Big Time.
God does have his mysterious ways of working!!!!!!!!!!
Graham would have got him Florida. He is known well among the "corrider" voters. Graham wouldn't get much mileage anywhere else, though I'm not sure Edwards is either.
How can you be a "likely voter" and yet have "no opinion" in the presidential race? Isn't that almost contradictory?
Graham's approval ratings are close to 70% in the Quinnipac poll of Florida...
Quinnapiac has bush up 6 or 7 in Florida and the I-4 corridor poll has similar numbers. Bush is up. I think, like the guy at RealClearPolitics said, people are rejecting Kerry. 'Experts' say people firm up at labor day and I think that is what happened more than Swift Bosts..people, who took a look at Kerry and toyed with supporting him, have decided not to.
Agree that Graham would not have helped outside of Florida, but Edwards won’t help anywhere, not even in NC. The first and only reason to select a VEEP IMO is to get Electoral Votes that you wouldn’t otherwise get. Florida is close enough that a favorite son candidate might have pulled it out.
Unless there are federal election observers (like Missouri had in 2002 and SD will probably have this year), hurricane choas will look like a dry-run by comparison. If I were Jeb, I would seriously consider asking the Justice Department to send people in from Civil Rights Division, Voting Rights Department to monitor the show this time round. Furthermore, it's amazing how many people who were going to vote twice reconsider when they realize the Feds are watching.
Florida has had enough indecisiveness with all the hurricanes this year. Floridians don't need an indecisive commander-in-chief.
Paula Zahn marvelling at the drop in Floridians who say things are getting worse in the economy. Last month only 41% of Floridians said economy was getting worse...now it is 57%...
Well DUH...a few hurricanes may make a difference...still nearly 2 million without power...people are responding to actual conditions and linking that to the question of being better off at a point in time.
Is Paula Zahn blaming Bush for the hurricanes?
Is it really an election if the Dems don't:
a) screw it up
b) try to steal it
c) sue when they lose?
Floridians reacting to hurricane conditions and linking that to the question "do you think the economy is getting better?" Last month, 57% said YES...in this poll, only 41% said YES...
It is hard to look at rubble and say the economy is better even though it may be true.
Yes.
Oh, we could add so many "qualifers" to that list. How about "Nominate the most irritating, arrogant, elitest, unlikable sycophant?" "Say the Republicans are going to steal your Social Security"? (I always liked the ones of the kids treat-or-treating with an eerie voice coming from behind saying, "Boo--Reagan's going to steal your Social Security....") They've been using that from time in memorial. You know things are getting desparate when they bring up that old line. Or now, say "Bush is going to re-institute the draft"? Or "Use voo-doo accounting in their campaign financing"?
