OK, fine. can we agree on the 46% Kerry got then?

[jveritas]

46%, 47%, and 48% do not win elections! Do you know how hard it is to go from 48% to 51%? It is much harder than you think. I know and liberal democrat activist at work who works on organizing campaigns for the democrat congress people in Massachusetts and he always tell me that getting this extra few percent to be on the top is much more difficult than most people think.
