And I'm glad to hear your grandmother is for Kerry. Bush lost the popular vote by a half million votes and 'won' the electoral vote because the USSC stopped the recount which would have shown that Gore actually won.
Now when you think about it, more people who did not vote before are flocking to register and most of them will not be voting for Bush. Add to that the young people who normally wouldn't have voted at 18 registering and voting for Kerry. Then there's the Arab population, largely for Bush in 2000, but who have swung the other way to Kerry. Then there's the registered voters who did not bother to show up to the polls in 2000, but who will do so in November.
Then there's the 3 million unemployed, almost 2 million due to outsourcing. Who do you think they'll largely favor? Then there's the millions of cell phone users, two of them are my friends who use nothing else (one only has the cell, the other forwards all her calls to her cell), who are unable to be polled but will be voting for Kerry. Then there's a very important demographic, the elderly, who have been screwed royally by Bush w/prescription drugs and medicare premiums. And there's still many more dynamics to explore. So, if Bush lost the last election, how in the hell is he going to win this one?
