BOUNCE THIS
Why are they looking for a big bounce in the polls??????? Kerry has 48%, Bush has 48%, Nader has 2%

48 + 48 + 2 = 98% WHERE IS THE FRIGGIN BOUNCE GOING TO COME FROM????? All of the Kerry supporters are going to stay the KERRY SUPPORTERS All of the Bush supporters are going to stay the Bush supporters (unless they get brain transplants) and the undecideds are such a miniscule amount right now ????? Where the Hell is the 4 - 6 - 10 % BOUNCE going to come from???? Only U.S. citizens can vote right? Besides which - who really believes that the polls are legit?????? I think that Kerry is ahead by far more than is being reported.

5. Do you guys believe that?
I've actually noted in several national polls that pulling Nader out of the picture is often favorable to Bush. I thought that was strange, but this theory about Bush losing votes to Nader is surprising.

Perhaps Nader's idea is that most true left-leaners detest Bush too much to vote for him, given the lessons of 2000, but many right-leaners will vote for him because they can't stomach EITHER Bush or Kerry.

Interesting....

If they had brain transplants,it would have to be Democrats brains.Then the brainless Democrats would turn into Republicans.In the end,we would be back to square one don't you think?:evilgrin:

4. all the Kerry supporters are going to stay Kerry supporters, but . . .
all the Bush supporters are not necessarily going to stay Bush supporters . . . as it becomes increasingly "okay" to NOT support Bush, he will continue to lose supporters to Kerry . . . anecdotal evidence suggests that it's happening every day, and more and more frequently . . . I've seen it myself, as have many other DUers . . . I would guess that Bush's "safe" vote is no more than the 30-35% who are either diehard Repugs or do-wacka-do religious right fanatics . . .
