Madison - President Bush may be inching ahead in Wisconsin polls, but that will change as the candidates get closer to the Nov. 2 election, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said Wednesday.

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney could receive a bounce of as much as 10 percentage points when this week's Republican National Convention in New York wraps up, but that won't last, said Dean.

"The campaign really hasn't started yet," Dean said. "The polls are really close, and going up and down, and this one will go down to the wire."

According to a recent Gallup poll, Bush leads Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts 48% to 45% among likely Wisconsin voters.

2. Excellent!!!

Dean puts out the thought that the bounce should be 10%. When there isn't any bounce, the conventions becomes a failure.

5. Dean remebers

What the polls reflected PRIOR to the campaign really starting after Labor Day during the run for the nomination.Dean was so far ahead that everyone called the race done before a single primary began, and did not count at what would happen when the race was finally joined.

3. Funny.....

A new poll in Wisconson (forgot the outfit) shows Kerry leading by 6%..... I don't trust Gallup..... not because they're right wing, but because they're ALL OVER THE PLACE.

4. I think Bush will sink like a rock after tonight's hate fest!

Zell's implosion on Tweety's show was the icing on the cake.
