"Movables in today's results favor Bush by 52-33 percent, a change from 46-36 percent in Kerry's favor as of Sunday."
Every, EVERY poll is showing the undecideds flocking to Bush. So, O'Reilly etc., quit talking about that it's a "given" about the incumbents going to the challenger. It's B.S. Look what happened in 2000.
Oh, yeah -- please don't post the obligatory, "how could there be anyone undecided?!" post. There ARE still plenty of undecideds (about 1 in 11 voters).
and your tribe/state is going Conservo for the first time since 84....I think.
Sorry, but what is a moveable voter? Does that mean undecided? Sorry if that's a stupid question.
does that mean swing voters?
Incumbent in 2000 = Gore (close to incumbent as you can be, and the undecideds definitely swarmed to him at the end instead of Bush)
I like what Bernard Goldberg said about undecideds on Fox&Friends earlier this week...they should just stay home.
And, this kind of shoots the poop out of everyone's assumption that undecideds break for the challenger. It's not true in presidential races - and this year, they'll break even more to Bush on security.
Moveable = undecided = uncommitted voter.
What's neat is the fact that this is pre-bin Laden tape.
I think that will have a profound effect on undecided voters by putting everything into focus.
The "undecideds" are breaking 2-1 for Bush. That's not good news for John F*ckin', who will best be remembered for his money quote: "America, wake up!" (laughing)
Some actually decide in the polling booth. My aunt was like that in '96. She is a Democrat but said when she went to vote for Clinton her "hand refused to do it"...and she ended up with Perot. All the thoughts of Clinton's lies came to mind and it was about as last-minute as is possible. Strange but that may often be the case.

I saw the stats that it is not true..........but the MSM keep reporting otherwise. They are really frustrating........their agenda is sooooooooooooo obvious.
moveable voters = persuadable voters = swing voters = "undecided voters" = voters who are "leaning", but aren't enthusiastic
Just different terminology for voters who aren't strongly supporting a candidate.
I think these are people who were leaning Kerry, but when the chips are down, they realize that self preservation takes precedence over politics, and will be voting for Bush.

A suggestion, if you don't know who to vote for, STAY HOME.
Lots of facts and quotes about the president-wannabe at the John F. Kerry Timeline.
.
"A better showing among movable voters has helped put George W. Bush back at the 50 percent mark, with 47 percent support for John Kerry among likely voters as the 2004 presidential campaign enters its closing days."
From ABC?
Bad news for the girlie man and the breck girl.
Blessings, bobo
Hm....that's odd....because normally I consider 10 out of 11 people morons.
