KERRY'S SCHEDULE SPELLS TROUBLE...

[Greek]

A quick look at the schedules indicate that Kerry is in trouble:

Kerry schedule (71% in Blue states):

Mon: PA Tues: WI, NM, NV Wed: 2 stops in IA, and MN Thur: OH

Bush schedule (78% in blue states):

Tues: Cuba City, WI, Onalaski, WI, and IA Wed: PA, OH, and MI Thur: MN, OH, & PA

Are you kidding? Philadelphia is run like a syndicate operation and the people like it that way. Ed Rendell, the former mayor is now the govenor, so the whole state is now subject to mob rule by the Democrat party.

Well maybe the people still left in PA. Ever noticed how the biggest 'RAT welfare states are the ones losing the most representation every 10 years after the census and apportionment. Texas attracts more than its fair share of young and ambitious people who want to get away from slow growth machine dominated states.

They are mostly staying in the eastern and central time zones. That's not enough difference to cause many problems.

I'm using "jet-lagged" loosely. Without worrying about time zones, I'd say they're both doing a grueling schedule which has to be disruptive of normal patterns of eating and sleeping.

I think you hit the nail on the head... bigger samples... Its hard to pinpoint what a country of 280 million is going to do by calling 1000 or less.

I don't know who is in charge of the polling, but It would probably be easy to find out... Call the RNC

Why can't the media do the same?


It costs MONEY...

The polls run in the media are a courtesy... They're a snapshot, and they're done for profits... CNN pays Gallup X million dollars to provide polling data through the election cycle... Because Gallup is a "famous" name in polling. Accuracy is not a big deal... Thus its in Gallup's interest to do the polling for as CHEAP as possible... PROFIT MOTIVE.

The Internal polls are motivated by accuracy, not profit...
The pollster who gets the contract promises ACCURACY, and campaigns pay for it... If the poll turns out to be WRONG on election day, that pollster is done.

Kerry knows he's gonna lose. You can see how fake his campaign speeches have become. Well, how even MORE fake they have become.

That is interesting. If it were 38, I'd say it was targeting NH (I recall that 38 carries the Red Sox so more NH cable stations may carry it)

Funny how in 2000, it was reported that Bush was in trouble because he's "forced" to campaign in FL in the final week, "a state he should own since his brother is the governer."

But not a word from the MSM that Kerry may be in trouble in his final week of campaigning in his ought to be safe states.

I think PA is going for Kerry. But there are other reasons why Kerry could be here. He needs to fight for NJ and this rally was covered extensively, which means that NJ picked it up; same media market. It gave Kerry a large venue--Philadelphia, so the numbers coming out for him looked impressive. I also think that Clinton wanted to step out onto the campaign trail to test the waters. See how his health would hold up. I read somewhere that he's headed down soon to Arkansas to open up his library, so this may have been the beginning of that for him. The rally did show one vulnerability, I think, for Kerry. Not many black voters showed up, or so I'm told. And that's not a good sign.

Only by theft and they do seem to well organized in that area.
