"Just Win, Baby": Sporting insights into the character of George W. Bush
O ctober 30, 2004 · In an effort to bridge the gap between those who regard President George W. Bush as a "liar" and those who regard him as a mere "exaggerator," I would like to suggest a term that perhaps we all can agree on: "cheater." By Dennis Hans
BLAHHHHHH
According to MSNBC, it is brand new polling data:
Mason-Dixon surveys, which were conducted from Oct. 26 to Oct. 29,
This would be 298-238 if I did the math right.
If Bush has Iowa, and has Florida (but not Ohio and New Hampshire) he wins if he takes any of:
1) Ohio
2) Pennsylvania
3) Wisconsin
4) Minnesota
5) Michigan
6) New Jersey
7) 2 out of 3 of NM, NH and HI
I'd say the lease likely of these would be 2) or 6). The most likely would be 1) or 3).
I'm looking at it right now and it says this at the top of the page AND at the beginning of the article:
"The Mason-Dixon Minnesota Poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from October 27 through October 29, 2004."
Maybe they just had a cut and paste typo from an earlier poll. But it's correct now.
NO numbers on Jersey???
Whats funny is that kerry is so focused on florida and ohio, he has left the backdoor open to michigan, pa, minnesota, and wisconsin. Florida, which bush will win, doesnt mean a damn thing if kerry drops michigan or pa. Too funny.
"Did you guys even read this? It says, "Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. conducted these polls from October 15 through October 18, 2004."
- Absolutely. I can't believe that a polling firm would trumpet results that are a week and a half out of date. I hope it's a misprint.
Funny how states evolve, sometimes in opposite directions. Minnesota used to be as Democratic as Rhode Island. Illinois leaned strong Republican. Go back far enough (the 1880's ) and Massachussetts was bedrock GOP.
these do not seem like old polls to me. These polls are from Oct. 26-29. I don't understand why MSNBC had the old polling dates on the bottom, but these are advertised as new, on RealClearpolitics.com
It is a misprint. MSNBC article says, Mason-Dixon surveys, which were conducted from Oct. 26 to Oct. 29.
Still, MSNBC sort of botched updating the text.
.
I hope we will all be surprised with my state, Oregon. I heard on the news yesterday that Washington County (large part of Portland area) now has more registered Republicans than Democrats. The rest of the state is Bush Country!
I live in the Flint area and cannot believe the Republican push compared to previous elections. Material comes in the mail almost every day. Today, a little old lady also came to the door and asked if I was going to vote for Bush. Amazing. Bush can really win Michigan.
Yea, I just realized they're new polls. Unfortunately, I took the word of one of the guys posting that it wasn't new.
AMEN!
These polls are 10 days old! Useless.
If we take FL and OH, it's all over.
Turn out the lights.
The full time campaign workers are incredible, and we even have 40 some pros from D.C. to help us finish this off.
I tell you, it's AWESOME!
(btw, the Kerry campaign has had to pay to get workers. There's no comparison between the two campaigns......NONE).
