2. Why is this getting posted multiple times?

And where is this information coming from? Where did you see it?

3. Those are great numbers

for three weeks ago.

These numbers are why the current numbers are causing a Kerry shake-up.

That's not "sky is falling" shit, it is reality.

We'll get on to the issues now, the asshole in the white house is about to see some dirt come out on him, which will raise his negatives.

And in the end it will be just as it seemed from the beginning, a Kerry Landslide.

5. And as Will Pitt pointed out in his RNC blog...

Michael Dukakis had a 15 point lead after his convention.

The last 10-14 days were dominated by the Olympics...and we hauled in a lot on medal. There was no "real news: to speak of.

The new enonomic figures come out on Friday...and they ain't gonna be good for Bush.

And if Kerry really DOES take the gloves off...he will have a lot of ammo.

There is a lot of time for any bounce to be shoved up the Repukes collective uptight backsides.
