I think the polls are skewed.


It's just my theory but I do not think it's out of the range of these assholes. The Repub's control the corporate media along with just about everything else. I don't put it past them at all to buy out the polling organizations to discourage those of us who will be voting against the asshole. Just my two cents. WE NEED TO KEEP FIGHTING!!!! I believe that Kerry will. Can't wait to see the idiot try to match wits with Kerry in the debates, I think he is at a very big disadvantage.

7. The poll on 11/2 won't be "scientific" though.
Remember, if the poll is voluntary rather than a carefully-controlled random sampling, it's not "scientific" since the opinions of those who weren't polled and didn't vote aren't counted.
:evilgrin:

2. well, Gallup already admitted they over-sample Republicans,
saying they're more likely to vote. Remember, most of the polls had Bush 4-6 points ahead of Gore in 2000 on the day of the election, and...well...we know who got more votes at the end of the day. :)

3. The news polls are crooked. They over count Republicans
And ignore the young. Don't fall for them. Every poll I see shows 67% opposed to each position the shrub put out there. WE ARE WINNING. WE can not stop but we have them scared enough to be planning another 9/11. Watch the spin doctors talking about the terrorists wanting to affect the election. They actually want us to believe that if the Idiot bush allows ANOTHER major terror attack to succeed that is a reason to vote for him. LMAF

5. Totally skewed...
Look at it this way: There's no way John Kerry is going to get FEWER votes than Al Gore did in 2000. Enough people are motivated. There's no way Bush is going to get MORE votes than he got in 2000. Enough Republicans are sick of him. The pollsters don't include cell phones...

6. If Kerry...
...is laboring to keep New Jersey and New York in his column, then yeah - the polls are correct.

We've nominated the wrong guy. I knew that when it happened.

If Hillary doesn't win the nomination in 2008, I don't know if the party's going to be around.

With all this southern migration going on, I think there exists a possibility of Zell Miller or Evan Bayh (or Lieberman) branching off and going with the Reform Party.

I could easily see the Reform Party having same kind of appeal that Strom Thurmond's Dixiecrats had during the 1960s...which frankly is dangerous, given that southern states are gobbling up most of our professional population.

I think the party is in very deep, very serious trouble.

The ghost of Richard Nixon rises again.
