The Dems really ran an ad on TV using the L word against Bush (or was it just that the Bush campaign was lying about what "global test" meant) ? If so, I agree, that is a huge mistake. Do you have a link? By the way, has the Kerry campaign explained just yet what "global test" means? I don't have a clue what Kerry meant. I know what I would mean if I used that term, but then, I ain't Kerry.
Interesting analogy.
Quite frankly, I thought Bush put in a good debate performance - for Bush, that is. I figured the public had long accepted that Bush was a lousy speaker and debater. I guess the fact that Bush was surging in the Iowa Markets and Tradesports ahead of the debate was the big warning signal about the expectations game.
Nevertheless, that "lead" Bush had must have been pretty soft to melt away in just days. I think the same can be said for Kerry's newfound "support."
I'll see if I can find it. It's crass man.
Absolutely. The expectations going into the first debate were 180 out from where they should have been. I expect they will be opposite going into this next debate. Kerry folks will be looking for a kill shot, and Bush folks will be looking for survival. If Bush can avoid the Algore three bears strategy, and project the same image he did during the O'Reilly interview, he will finish the second debate in good shape.
Bush did fine in the debate and I like Rush. To each his own.
Well Kerry just went for something else he said about preemption, to deflect, without explaining what "global test" meant. Rather effective I think, albeit as I said deflective. What does "preemption" + "global test" mean, coming out of Kerry's mouth? What is the grand unified theory of this sum equal? Please help me with some of this.
What does this mean??
What does this mean??
Usually that number favor dems by at least 10-15%.
So Bush leads 0.573 to 0.439, roughly.
The Republcan party is asleep at the wheel! (As usual)
They don't call us the stupid party for nothing!
Chicom Marines?
Don't ask, don't tell marines?
Polling on who is more intelligent, Bush or Kerry, this is horsesh**. The media has hammered at Bush just like they did with Reagan and Jerry Ford, making them look like idiots. But with Flip Flop Kerry, he gets a pass.
Clean up the mess, FIX it and get it right.
It's well known that the debates can make or break a candidate.
It's also well known that historically the candidate that wins the opening debate, doesn't win the election.
Sorry, not jumping that cliff yet.
slightly amend that, the candidate that wins the first debate rarely wins the presidency. According to Gallop, the one that ran this poll.
And I'm still waiting on party identification so we can compare it to the previous poll.
