Kerry's a cold fish, the people don't relate to him, and Bin Ladin's tape I think puts the final nail in the coffin.
People are reminded that Bush can walk the talk in the war on terror, while Kerry votes against the money needed for our troops...yet claims he has a better "plan."
In that last minute in the booth, the burning question is "Who can I really trust?" And many know deep in their hearts, there is only one answer.

What timeframe, central time zone, should it be clear who is going to win? 9pm?

I'd feel better about this if the article were coming from someone other than jumpy joe scarborough.

I'm still excited that 2 NJ and 1 NY paper endorsed President Bush. Living so close to ground zero, I don't see how they could vote for anyone but Bush!

Well, I hope the armies of pajamahadeens are ready to hit the Sunday night October surprise with their quick research and get out the real info. You have to believe that they are going to try to do
something having had the 'weapons missing' pulled out from under them.
When you are conservative you have to watch not only the cheap tricks of the campaign, but the cheap shots of the media!

...while CBS/NY Times will continue limiting their polling audience to family members of Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, and Paul Krugman.

I just saw a clip from last night's Demo gathering with Alexandra Kerry and Algore... she was reading from her "speech," rather badly. It was an appearance at a Filipino concert, and the audience was primarily Filipino (which used to vote dem but is polling heavier Republican this election). She emphasized how much her father "knows and cares about their community." One really has to wonder if Kerry knows anything at all about the Filipino community in Hawaii other than he hopes they vote for him.

Just to be a contrarian for a moment...
You could argue that Bush spending so much time in Florida and Ohio the last weekend is indicative of his growing concern for either or both and he is making side trips to MI, WI, MN, IA to try to recover. What really does have me concerned, besides voter fraud, is that Bush thinks he is losing Ohio and is stuck on 266 EVS, which is why he made the trip to NH and sent Cheney to HI---in search of the 4 votes he needs to go over the top.

The networks will try to make the maps look good for Kerry as long as possible on Tuesday. I favor doing away with the media manipulation of predicting election results by going to a uniform nationwide poll closing time.

I dream of watching the results trickle in Tuesday night and seeing NJ and NH go for Bush.
Oh what a night it would be then.

By the way, I couldn't help notice how the crowds in Iowa were almost tepid in their response to Kerry's negative message....That's what happens when the crowds are only there cause they were paid.

Florida will be the key. He who wins Florida wins this election.

Bush must have Florida or he can pack his bags. Ohio is secondary.
I'm praying we get the Sunshine State; after that everything will fall into place.

This year, the Dems will complain about the media calling the election before the last Californian has a chance to vote, mark my words.

"The networks will try to make the maps look good for Kerry as long as possible on Tuesday."
I agree. I remember last time that there were states that Bush easily won on the East coast (e.g. SC, NC, VA) and the networks were showing big vote total leads, but they waited to call for Bush. But, as we all painfully remember, they made an early (before the panhandle precincts closed) and premature call of Florida for Gore. They so wanted to annoint Gore the next POTUS. Despite the 2000 debacle, I think we can expect the same on Tuesday. They just can't help themselves.

I think we need a national poll closing time. That way no one would still be voting When the results start coming in.

If it's going to be an early night, 9-9:30PM CT should do it ... after how they got burned by VNS in 2002 and 2000, they're gonna want to wait for some Precincts to report before they feel comfortable calling some states. This being said, one can project how Bush is doing by about 6pm CT by watching the attitude of the pundits on the Democrat Networks. While I watch Fox News most of the time, I'll bounce back and forth to CNN and SeeBS every 10 or so minutes to see how they're acting. If they look depressed, or are making strange noises about fraud at the polls and about Dems filing law suits, I'll know Bush has won. If they're really happy, I'll start making plans for ammo purchases before inauguration day ... one never knows how available adequate ammo will be under a Kerry Administration (and, God knows, we'll need all we can get).

Your last statement is crucial .. FOX has been showing that number as 58 for Bush and 37 for Kerry - just on the WOT issue.
