I miss Reagan Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 It'll be close but Bush will win. Kerry is too much of a flip flopper and to far left for the American people. He's made some stupid tactical mistakes like bringing up his military record and challenging those who disagree with his record to "bring it on". Many of the Clintonista Dems want Kerry to lose so the path will be clear for Hilary in '08.

maplesyrup Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 The reality is it is a neck and neck race., and similar to Canadian elections, results will depend on which side best gets out the vote. Most people realize that the polls are just used to attempt to manipulate. Maybe we could use a little depth here, eh?

takeanumber Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 I'll go on record here. Bush is getting under 50% in many battleground states, even though he's leading Kerry by 6-8 points in many. What does this mean? It means that most decided voters arn't voting for bush, and, historically, the undecideds vote for the challenger. I hope the Rebublicans get cocky. It'll drive down their turnout furthur and clinch the deal for Kerry. Kerry is in fact looking good. Quote

MS, I think this is the last poll before the election: SES June 22-24 error= +/- 2.8% Bloc:12 Cons:30 Libs:34 NDP:20 Actual: Bloc: 12.4 (In line with MOE) CPC: 29.6 (In line with MOE) Green: 4.3 (In line with MOE) Libs: 36.7 (In line with MOE) NDP: 15.7 (Not in Line with MOE) I guess we just can't help it if the media tries to give a higher position of importance to the NDP, but hey it did correlate well and is far from being way out in "Right" field as you often imply. ----------------------------------------- As for Bush I don't think he has a comfy lead, and he will be in for a fight but if he can become president by getting less votes then his opponent, then I am sure that he can become president by getting more votes then his opponent slightly easier.
