Polls show Bush aheadFollow

Maybe you and varus can get together and keep this in one thread.

It's always interesting to realize that you've been missing random stupidity by having your default filter turned on.

Goddam Governator pulling voters away from Kerry in California. No f*cking way Bush wins this election.

Same thing happend with Gore I believe.

Actually it's flipside, Bush had the Electorial, but Gore had 500,000 more votes for him , which I believe would be the popular vote. Bush had Florida which was obviously key.

Totem, brief question. And I don't ask this as a "gotcha", but out of sincere curiousity: If Bush loses this election in a manner like Gore lost in Florida, would you expect/demand/want the Bush campaign to demand recounts, hit the courts, etc?

Of course!

And definately more polls, because we all know how useful those are.

Translation: If I were Dubya, of course I wouldn't ask for recounts, I'd make my speaches (pre-written for me of course) and try to stall as my Administration gets the ball rolling on adding votes from all those late ballots, ballots that were filled out incorrectly, and maybe even a few fake ballots just for the heck of it. Hey, no Child left behind right? Even fake kids, I gotta add their vote too!

In fairness, Skeeter, the polling places that were left open well past closing time were in heavily Democratic party areas. The hanging chads issue points more to people's attention to detail, as does the whole confusing ballot card fiasco.

After all, how difficult is it to read and mark a ballot-- the same format used in countless elections before? To hear those whose pride was injured from the harrowing task of punching a hole next to the candidate of their choice, it was a herculean effort that required rocket science and an Einsteinian mind.

While I know that these confused and lost individuals are the voter base on which the Democratic party preys, doesn't it make you just a bit embarrassed that these same people you count on every four years would have trouble going the proper way down a one-way street? Yes, the feebleminded are more easily enslaved by handouts and entitlements, but all the subtle nuances that Smasharoo and the Dems are so fond of are absolutely wasted on the vast majority of your voter base. That must be incredibly frustrating.

Pull??!!

Heh, no encumbant has ever won with Bush's current approval rating.

Repugs don't like to admit this, but undecided voters almost always fall to the challenger and reelection bids are always a referendum on the encumbant and are almost always a landslide one way or the other.

Take a look at the regisrtation numbers, Dems are out registering Pubbies like mad. This will be a record turnout year, and high turnout is very good news for Kerry. Honest conservatives are abandoning ship in the same way Dems ran to Reagan in 1980.

Bush is toast, unless he cheats.

It would be hilarious to see Bush when the popular and lose the Electoral. Maybe it would push us into finally getting a new system other than the Electoral College.

As to who is leading in the polls, in all truth it doesn't matter a bit what matters is in the end who leads in the poll on November 2nd.

Either way what happens, happens.

I'm personally hoping that Kerry wins and in 4 years we can decide on someone better than Bush or Kerry. Also I think it would be best to have a president who is not of the same party as the ones controlling the House and/or Senate. Since when there is that division less money get spent and only the stuff that has truly bipartisan support goes anywhere.

Remember that even if Bush wins he only has 4 more years to ***** up the country, or if you support him, help the country. Either way almost everybody aggrees Cheney will not run for president so it will be an interesting slate come 2008.

My opinions and I will make a point to cast them come November 2nd.
