Gallup: Bush expands lead in Wisconsin (Bush 50%, Kerry 44%)

[poinq]

I just don't get it. I saw 4 Wisconsin poles against Bush lately, and now this. How do they do it? And which ones do you believe?

Does it matter that this one is from registered voters instead of likely voters?

[Salvation]

Good news bump!

[rwfromkansas]

That on your car?

Reports of Kerry voters more coming out in Ohio early voting though

[gswilder]

As Blondie used to sing..... "The TIDE has TURNED....." at the state level. Many have been predicting we would start seeing the state movements end of this week, and here they come.

Yes, OH is still a worry, but think about this 13 days out. Bush is up 5 or so nationally. And he is withing 2-4 in NJ, up 6-7 here in WI, tied in IA, currently ahead in ALL his 2000 states. Polls show him getting twice the African American vote he did in 2000. He is doing better with Catholics, and women vs 2000. The marriage amendment will bring out those 4 million christians that stayed home in 2000. SO, all this leads me to believe that he will WIN Ohio, and it will be relatively easy. Why hasn't Bush been to OH for a couple of weeks? Bringing in Arnie the last weekend will get him 1-2 extra % in OH.

Don't get complacement. Gotta go vote, and take some friends with you. BUT ...... The TIDE HAD TURNED.......

Right next door, just over here in Illinois. I have seen the groundswell, baby!!!!

[FreeAtlanta]

Do they take into account dead voters and the democrats that vote several times?

[MichiganCheese]

That would be; "ON WISCONSIN"

[MrChips]

Well, then, let me ask you a couple of things. (1) Does the Chicago Tribune (and its Bush endorsement) have much circulation in WI? (2) Is the Bush "win" in the mock election at the U. of Wisconsin that I heard about really true? I would be amazed if Bush won Madison.

[doug from upland]

Yes, on both sides of my car. I am covered in magnetic stickers that can be removed when I park in a liberal area. Here are the rest --- CLICK.

[Jorge]

Tell me again how Bush winning WI isn't realistic, please.

I never told you that Bush winning WI wasn't realistic.

I said that winning a combination of the states you presented to make up for losing Ohio wasn't realistic.

[Jorge]

"to make up for losing Ohio wasn't realistic."

Correction, it was to make up for losing FL.

[poinq]

How do you make those magnetic bumper stickers?

[doug from upland]

A sign shop can make them, but they will be expensive. Or, you can buy the material from a sign shop or Staples and make your own on your computer. I had to do a lot of cutting and pasting and then covered them with rows of 3-inch wide clear tape to protect them from the weather.

YOU ALL ARE FORGETING THE DENVER BALLOT INITIATIVE HAS A SPLIT STAKE. SO BUSH WILL LOSE 4 EV JUST THERE AND THE INITIATIVE IS LEADING IN THE POLLS NOW EVEN IF BUSH IS ALSO LEADING

[etradervic]

The other polls are biased hacks. Thats the honest truth too.
I hope your right but aren't Gallup Polls sponsored by CNN?

[TitansAFC]

The Tribune has some pull in WI, mostly among displaced Chicagoans. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is big, too. Let me put it this way, it probably sealed the deal with a wavering few in WI; won't make a damn bit of difference here in IL, though. We're blue and getting bluer....

Focus on The Family and Moody Bible Institute have some pull via radio as well.

I'm not sure Bush will actually win any colleges anywhere outside of maybe Liberty University and such genres; but he is showing well.

It won't matter. Conservative Christian churches are, in many cases for the first time, very active in registering people and getting-out the vote. Social Conservative will be out in full force for a change.

I'm telling you, WI is no longer up for grabs. It is a solid convert to Bush in 2004. It will be outside of the margin of potential vote fraud. In a lot of cases, you can actually smell defeat in Democratic WI circles.
Paint Wisconsin Bush red, in permanent ink!!!

[Keith]

the initiative is NOT leading in the polls, it's unconstitutional, and he's winning in CO...so ease up chief...and stop yelling.

[MrChips]

I love your optimism, and I hope you are right. On Wisconsin!

[Terp]

Just thought I'd say it before the usual suspects show up

One of the usual suspects going by the name of Courage is nowhere to be found. Does anyone know what happened to him? I notice his profile has been removed.
