“In the next couple of days you will see a trend that shows Kerry taking a small but consistent lead against President Bush. I’m talking one or two points. And then, almost without warning or explanation, you will see the President open up a four- to six-point lead on or around Thursday. And that trend will carry the President through Election Day.”

At first I thought "Well that isn't happening," but actually, it is pretty close to what IS happening.

I like this post crushelits, because I think it gets to the heart of everything that is left to concern us, which is not much and should not cause us to lose heart. Like so many others, I had to sit back and digest uncomfortably Gallup's releases earlier this evening, but after taking in all of the polling, I have a high degree of confidence that Bush will win come Tuesday. And the point made in your post about a late surge for Kerry being expected is spot on the mark in my opinion, I expected it too. But it won't be enough. Even Gallup had Bush up 49 - 47 among "Likely Voters" - before they were forced to guess how Independents would break guessing that the pattern would follow earlier elections, their own polling numbers in the "Electoral Race" gives Bush 270 votes, and the sum total of many of the battleground state polls still puts the President in good shape.

We took our last hits today. Now we hit our victory stride.

Good post!

I have a feeling the GOP maven here is Ed Rollins. The Kemp campaign reference gives it away. Plus he was a Perotista. I wouldn't want to bet the farm on something Rollins says, if that's who the unnamed GOP insider is.

Thursday was a few days ago, actually.

“Bush isn’t going to win this. Kerry’s going to lose it,” he said.

Pfft. People have no problem giving Bush due for the drop of support at the end of the 2000 race, but giving Bush due for holding and gaining support in 2004 seems to be beyond them.

Kerry will not lose this, he never had it. This has been a race between the MSM and Bush. If all things were fair in that the traditional bias held against Republicans was retained, Kerry would have been finished early on. The campaign against Bush including fraud and collusion between the MSM/DNC & U.N. is unprecedented. It is not normal in the usual sense they demonstrate bias against the Republican candidate.

For Bush to be close to winning against this handicap, imo, means he is deserving of credit in achieving this win. Certainly events and peoples have helped get him here, but in the end the majority of us are voting FOR Bush, not against Kerry. I strongly doubt Bush would be on the verge of victory against the MSM if he hadn't won this election by virtue of his strength in the WOT and the strength of his character. The credit will be his, should this election turn the way we hope and pray and I, for one, will give him his earned credit in light of victory.

Where I do agree is in the tightening of the polls. I dismiss the MSM's power is what it once was, but I know my enemy. I also strongly suspect I know the American people, at least I hope I do. This is why I've said we'll coast to a tight race, then break election day. It is my opinion the MSM can only carry a candidate so far, before people are forced to wake to reality and cast a vote.
