Typo - she meant Jeb, who was on Rush a bit ago.
And an aside, man these "document not found" errors are getting really annoying, no doubt all the vanities today gumming up the works, and I have high-speed internet.
Hey I know! I'll go start a vanity thread about it.
The polling is working just as it’s intended to. We’re hanging on to every little poll trying to make heads of tails of.....whatever. But must importantly we’re giving web sites hits and increasing the news channels ratings.
I hope you are right about Florida. I lost my breakfast when I saw FNC's latest Florida poll showing Kerry up 5. I had commented yesterday that it was odd that CBS had Bush up by 3 and FNC had Kerry up by 1. I was thinking that maybe each was trying to scare "their" voters into showing up at the polls, but even it that were the case, -5 points would just depress your voters. I don't know what is going on at FNC; I still watch them some, but I found myself watching MSNBC more during the conventions.
It seems odd that so few polls and MSM morons have neglected to mention Jeb Bush's huge victory in the 2002 governor's race in Florida. Remember how Terry McCaullife promised "revenge" for 2000, and that Jeb was toast, dead, wiped-out, etc. The fact that Clinton pressured the Dems to leave Terry in charge for 2004 shows that Clinton wants Klown to lose. If there really was so much anti-Bush sentiment left over from 2000, it seems that defeating Jeb, whom the Dems called a fascist, etc, would have been easy. Yet Jeb routed his opponent.
Also, let's not forget the Senate races in '02, with all the "dead heat" polls that turned into Republican blowouts, to the chagrin of MSM lunatics. There is a huge silent majority out there, and it will come through big-time tomorrow. I doubt if any state is really decided by less than 10,000 votes. Bush will win tomorrow, and win handily.
Rush pointed out interesting info about FL polls too. Apparently USA Today/Gallup say Kerry is ahead by 8 among early voters there. (Other sources say GWB leads.) In any case, Rush said Gallup's website admits some of those early voters refuse to say who they voted for. Gallup is assigning numbers to one side or the other based on certain models. Sounds to me like they are doing nothing more than guessing! So I remain optimistic the good guys will take FL, though I suspect we won't know for sure til Weds. morning.

If bush wins IA, WI, OH and loses FL then a 269-269 tie in EC very possible!
The polls and the old media are in the money game.
They keep it tight so the drama builds, we watch and the ratings soar and the money rolls in.
This is not to say that 2000 isn't mainly responsible for this. It is, and they are simply playing it up like the big "sequel".
I feel that John Kerry is unelectable to any discerning voter, but there are many enemies and ignorant people out here.
Ask yourself this: What reason would anyone have to HATE President Bush? Not dislike, not think he has done a poor job, but really HATE him.
Then ask yourself: What reasons would I have to vote FOR Kerry?
The answer is self evident.
To hate President Bush and to have any reason to vote for Kerry is you are ignorant, you are a natural parasitic personality, you are part of the lunatic fringe, (way too many groups to expand upon here) you are socialist, communist, illegal alien, or other enemy of the United States.
Seems the above are at about 50%.
Well. I almost agree with you except that Bush43 was much more popular back then and he had the Rats on the ropes for holding up WOT legislation to protect people. I think that really cost the Rats a lot of votes in 2002.
I don't think those factors are in play as much this time around, especially after Iraq in 2003/04. But there is still a lot that favours Bush43. So it will be interesting to see what happens in this election.
Heck, we don't even have to do as well. We can still lose NH and come out ahead because of reapportionment. And I think we have a decent shot at picking off NM from the Gore column. That gives us a little breathing room.
I've been saying all along, to the Bush team, please, just please do what it takes to win OH and FL. That's the ballgame right there.
