For those of you having a panick attack over Bush dropping to a 6 point lead in the Times poll, please be encouraged by the continuing trend of success in state polling. Bush is solid, and so are we. By the grace of God We will see this thing through.
Panicking?, You must be joking, I wouldn't trust a Times poll to tell me what day it is...
The bad news is it's a vanity. The good news is that it's an upbeat vanity by a newbie.
NICE. CO 52-44, AZ 54-43, VA 53-42 - all Bush . The Colorado poll is especially sweet. Arizona was supposed to be a battleground too.
Arizona, who cares it's only it's only Arizona! at least this is what Terry Kerry thinks.
Welcome to FR. I like having sarcastic optimists around.
If that electoral college change passes in Colorado, will it affect this election?
Nice post! I love good news. CO has finally broken out of the neck-and-neck state. This is the second poll confirming a good lead by W in CO.
The electoral vote is all that matters.
Slowly, state by state we are winning the hearts and minds of true patriots.
If the pubbies win CO, there will be no change in the electoral vote distribution.
Good to see Colorado coming around. I must say I'm a bit concerned over that referendum they have going over there.
Could you imagine the holy hell that will be raised if that goes to court, and the decision ultimately determines the winner?
Latest poll also shows though that a majority of Coloradoans will (foolishly) vote in favor of the electoral vote change. Bad news. Bush may get only 5 of the 9 votes there then, if I am not mistaken. Makes it all the more vital that he take IA, NM, OR, or ME.
Oh yes, we are used to to you.
In fact, I had quite the exchange last night with another new poster.
Please, understand this - I'm not raggin' on you. I am not the Grand Poobah of this forum, by any means - don't claim to be.
I just want you to understand that this forum has been here for a long time. There are rules to this forum. There is/are tons of information to be gleened from this forum.
Such as polling information...what polls are valid, which ones suck, etc.
I do not intend this to dampen your "enthusiasm" for posting........
I do mean to point out to you that if you "lurk" for awhile - get the flavor of what is going on - things will be much easier.
Polls are a favorite topic as of late - do a search and you will find more info on which polls are worth looking at and which ones are not - than you can stand. That is what is the kicker about this site - you can learn a lot. Quite educational, actually. Doing my best to not be an a$$, just trying to point you in the right direction.
LVM
ME is not a winner take all state for electoral votes. He will definitely pick up some electoral votes there.
Welcome to FR.! Im new here also! Just wanted to let you know your post made my day! GO BUSH!
Oh forgot to add, now find me some good news about CALIFORNIA and Ill do my victory dance for you!

BOTTOMLINE:
Unlike Kerry, the President has managed to emerge from his convention/post-convention bounce with a LEAD in the polls (a solid 5-7 point lead -- despite beheadings, rising oil prices, and a volatile stock market)!
The race will remain 'close' because the media/entertainment/education cabal will make it so; HOWEVER, the closeness of the national polls is really irrelevant given the realities of our Electoral College system!
To win, all we need to do is get our voters to the polls [Remember, over 90% of Republicans/Republican-leaning Independents plan to vote for the President while only 80% of Democrats plan to vote for Kerry!] If we get our voters to the polls, we will hold the states we won in 2000; in fact, we may even add Iowa, New Mexico, Oregon and Wisconsin to the mix -- giving the President MORE than enough states/EC votes to earn a well-deserved second term in office!
