Know Anyone who voted for Gore that has switched to Bush??Me neither
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 08:27 AM by LosinIt
so how can these polls be anywhere near close when Gore won the popular vote anyway? Something is rotten in Denmark. And with all of the get-out-the-vote drives for young people this should be a landslide. Maybe they are skewing the polls now so it won't be such a shock when they steal it again via electronic voting....she says as she is being fitted for her brand new tinfoil hat.

1. young people....

....never vote. I'd like to be optimistic about this age group, but time after time shows that when election day comes they stay home.

Hope they prove me wrong this time, but ...

3. No, but I know several who voted for Bush in 2000 who won't make that
mistake again!

So, I agree. Something IS rotten in Denmark. My husband is convinced the media likes a close race and they are the ones who are behind "these polls". I am sure it is more for ratings then it is about truth.

6. Exactly!
This is the reality of the 2004 election.

In 2000 Gore won the popular vote and Bush was given the electoral vote. He won the EV by 1 point - and that was a gift.

Fast forward 4 years - you have a mobilized Democratic constituency, you have a disillusioned moderate group, you have pissed off veterans and military members, you have an angry middle class, you have depressed paleocons, and you have a great number of people in swing states out of work or now working McJobs.

The math is simple.

George Bush will lose as long as there is not massive vote fraud.

I know that there are those who hate the word landslide, and I don't intend to use that word, however, Kerry will win and he will win by more than 1 electoral vote.

Count on it.

Now I am hitting the sack. Keep this kicked, it's sentiments would make great LTTEs.

8. Exactly....
Most polls show Kerry ahead by 6 to 8 points.... with 2 to 4 percent undecided. Even if ALL the undecideds went against Kerry... He would still win. Its a done deal... I hope..:-)

:kick:
