"2 point or whatever trend we're struggling to find, won't do it.Voter fraud will account for at least two points for Kerry and turnout for Kerry will be really high, so Bush has to be up by at least 4 or 5.
Tonight's his last chance to put away this twit. If he fails, it will be a 2000 repeat"
This is silly. If Rasmusssen is right (who knows) and we win the popular vote by 2% neither Fla or Ohio will be close enough for fraud to matter a recount to occur. Last election Bush lost the electoral vote, fraud and a recount happened and Bush became President.
What has happened to this site. Nonsense like the above is everywhere, I have never seen such defeatist tripe in my life. Have the trolls taken over? Is everyone off their meds? Are Freepers just a buch of panty twisting weeinies?
I like realism as much as anyone and when I see Bush down in the polls and tradesports with Kerry ahead I'll be more pessimistic.
I believe Bush will win, but the Democrats will stop at nothing to win this election and they will do whatever it is they think it takes. I think that if you could somehow make the election and campaigning completely free of corruption, that Bush would win by a landslide. But that's dreaming
Well, as I recall, we won that.
I think Bush is looking much bigger picture than his own election---oh, that is first and foremost---but like in 2002, he is also thinking "strategery" about these senate seats. I still maintain that there was something involved in the first debate that somehow is tied to these races (I know, kookville) but the fact is, the Dems were THAT CLOSE to yanking the money from Kerry and moving it to the senate races. His "good" performance in Debate #1 kept that money in place :)
What are the signs that make you optimistic now? (An optimism I share.)
