Next time you see a sizeable * lead in the polls . . .

I punched in the CNN/Gallup numbers and the number of participants and it revealed that *'s 7 point lead was almost statistically insignificant.

SO DON"T PANIC. And don't forget we're already doing much, much better since the end of the "Republican terror attack" in NYC last week.

The fight has just begun.

1. Please. Today WCBS radio told me Kerry 20-point lead in NJ was gone.

Suuuuure Dems are defecting to Bush. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

3. Agreed.

What Democrat in their right mind would vote for Bushie?!

2. And don't forget that they count "likely voters" so a lot of Dem votes

aren't even being counted.

Soooo . . .

If you are a newly registered voter who just registered so you could vote against Smirk, or

If you are a newly 18 year old voter who wants to vote against Smirk and the draft, or

If you sat out the election in 2000 because you didn't care that much, but now Smirk scares the crap out of you so you are voting against him,

THEN you aren't being counted as a "likely voter."

That's A LOT of Dem votes being thrown out of these polls!

4. Hadn't thought of that...

Good point about those of us who sat out the 2000 election (hanging my head in shame)...

6. Don't feel so bad . . .

I worked and contributed to many elections and I sat on my hands in 2000. Not this time.
