On January 16, after ten weeks of rioting and legal fighting, Congress will elect Bush president.

It's not a knife's edge... it is more like a blunt mallet...

Another theory, held by some Democrats as well as Republicans, is that voters will decide not to switch presidents in time of war and will surge toward Bush.

Only if the candidates are strong on defense, and one clearly is not. Lets face it, there has been a shift to Bush since the final debate and its shown up the polls for over a week now.

In the debates, John Kerry recalled that Bush campaigned in 2000 as a unifier, not a divider, and criticized him for dividing the nation as president. Yet the harshest rhetoric of this long, long campaign season has come, not from Bush and the Republicans, but from Kerry and the Democrats .....

This guy has it right.

You know, when I hear these jerks like Kerry and others saying that Bush is a divider, it really ticks me off.

He worked with fat teddy on the education bill, he had nothing but good to say about kennedy. Dubya's father in January gave fat teddy some special award down around College Station (??) here in Texas.

The VERY NEXT WEEK, how does teddy repay him ?? By stabbing Dubya in the back in the Senate!!

Just G-r-r-r-r !!!



"George W. Bush’s Vietnam" ... quagmire ... "Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management" ... Bush bad ... Democrats good ... blah, blah, blah ! ....

Yeah, but is that spike holding up in Florida and Ohio?

I think people will freak at the thought of another drawn out lawyer-fest dragging the election through the courts. The more the media talks about Kerry's "army of lawyers" ready to pounce, the more people will decide to put it out of reach by handing Bush a landslide.

I think the ABB sentiment is far weaker in most people than the Democrats would like. Sure, they have their rabid Bush haters, but most people aren't like that. Many people who would vote for Kerry just to get "change" could decide that a nice, clean election with no legal hanky-panky is more important to them than getting rid of Bush. If it looks like Bush will win anyway, they may flip just to make it decisive.

Yes it is. However I would add 1-2 points to Kerry for fraud.

That could be a new Bush campaign slogan - "Give a lawyer a day off. Vote for Bush."

Gallup's numbers look okay...

Other than a garbage poll in Ohio, that state looks fine. With Bush's leads in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and New Mexico, we have 32 electoral votes as a fudge factor.

Florida is also looking good.
