Kerry will see a bounce in the next few days

[troublemaker]

and the talking heads will all fret over what campaign minutae is responsible. The cause will actually be that from today on all polls released should no longer include 9/11 weekend in the survey period.

1. Where will he get the bounce?

n/t

[Teaser]

9. 9/11 weekend will be dropped off.

Theoretically that should help us.

2. Good. I was just disturbed to hear

on the Tavis Smiley show that, if the election were held today, * would win "convincingly".

Shit, that was a downer.

[mbali]

5. Yes, but the election ISN'T being held today - so cheer up!

[XanaDUer]

8. That's correct.

My jaw hit the floor on that one.


These are not polls I am familiar with. Maybe he was just saying it as a good lead in to the guest, Bill Press, and Press's book "Bush Must Go"?

7. Nonsense and don't believe any of this crap.

Keep hoeing while you pray for rain!!!

[NEDem]

3. the 'bounce'

will be no bounce at all, rather (no pun intended) it will be the beginning of a steady climb. The shrub has just lost its leaves.

4. Not if the polls are being manipulated

which I think is very possible. Don't be discouraged if Kerry's numbers even go down. I really believe that the poll reports are being manipulated, oops, did I say forgeries??

[gospelized]

6. if he does get a bounce,

this is what we will hear from the talking heads:

"Kerry narrows the gap; but is it too little too late?"
