I would post the whole article but not sure if that's allowed due to copyright laws.
Just click on the link. WELL WORTH YOUR TIME. Guaranteed!
Thanks for posting this
Now those are facts you'll NEVER get from the "elitist media".
Few rememeber that John Anderson, defeated by Reagan in the primaries, ran as an independent and siphoned off some Reagan votes. Hence the likely reason for the 86% number for Reagan in 1980.
Great facts!! this one everyone should read. I will go to bed tonight feeling joy in my heart!
four more years!

Let not forget Ross Perot in 92. Parley

there was a statistic that came out while back that said in the counties that Bush won last election against Gore, the murder rate was x10s less on the average. Not one demographic anybody should be proud of taking the lead on, but the democrats perhaps will pander to whom ever they can get....

I'm certainly no expert, but somebody said a couple years ago that if W were able to win an extra 5% of the Black vote, it would devastate his Democratic challenger. 9% + 5% = 14%! (Goosebumps!)
Actually I'd rather forget that drooling idiot Perot, but I get your point. Even though these stats are obviously what I wanna hear, I can't help being cheered up by them. I only have one vote and it's for Bush. The alternative flat out terrifies me. Way to go Bush/Cheney. Thanks for the uplifting posting.
This report did not say who dead voters are leaning towards.
Regardless of any good news for Dubya, please continue to work hard, folks, to get this man re-elected.
Agreed. We can't rest. (Hey, bear.)
None of the statistical comparisons from August to today work to prove this essay's hypothesis. They are all within the marginal error, which means that Dubya could have undergone no changes in the real world and normal statistical variation could have produced all these numbers.
Most people who consume polls fail to understand just how important the margin of error is. The margin of error for these August-Present numbers is such that we cannot draw any valid causal inferences. See the following for a more detailed argument:

I want Dubya to win as much as anybody, but this is just wishful thinking.
Interesting. Bush is doing better than 2000 in every category except the white vote. There he's down by 1%. I don't know if that's statistically significant, but I've noticed that there's a lot of elite rich people for kerry. He gets the suburban vote and the vote of soccer moms who aren't yet persuaded that their kids are in danger.
This is why Kerry is sitting in a pulpit with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Expect the numbers to go up to 15% by the end of the week.
LOL--I'm hoping and praying.
I know a lot of these people...they are former hippies who have brought their tie-dye clothes out of storage because they think their kids will get sent to Iraq...

I have become CONVINCED Perot did that to insure Clinton's victory. And Perot ran in both 92 and 96... He never ran for political office before or after Clinton's presidential runs.
I think Wes Clark was scheduled to be the Perot-like spoiler if Shrillary had chosen to get involved this year.
