Only Two Possible Answers

I think I agree, Bear. I still have hope, but the cynic in me says that the Bush campaign is running very well by playing us for the fools that we are.

I am very worried, but I have to have faith that Kerry is gonna take it.

Well, I think Bush will pull it out by the skin of his teeth, but I would not be at all surprised if Kerry did.

It will probably come down to who has the better lawyers.

Wait, I think I have changed my mind. I really think Kerry will pull it out by a nose. Just a hunch.

No wait, Bush.....no Kerry......aw shucks, I really really think it will be Bush...or Kerry......crap, I don't care, just let it be over.

Kerry/Edwards.

Kerry will win, I am almost certain. This is why...

1. The war in Iraq is increasingly unpopular and the bad news that Bush keeps denying continues to be in the news nightly.

2. The stock market is down for both Bush's term, and for the past year. This is a very good indicator for a presidents defeat. (Gas prices are also up which is another easy number on which people base their feelings about how the economy is doing.)

3. Kerry has passed the minimum test of acceptability during the debates, and the race is now about Bush.

4. People who want Bush out have more of a motivation to actually make it to the polls than people who are sure that God will esure his victory.

5. Undecided voters historically break for the challenger.

6. Experts (including a Republican pollster this morning) will concede that the poll numbers are slanted toward Bush and the election results will favor Kerry.

7. Everybody sees Kerry as an underdog. An ABC news poll said that 53% of respondants think Bush will win compared with 32% who think Kerry will win (this is very different from asking who they support).

Everyone loves an underdog. Desparate Democrats are more motivated than smug Republicans.

8. There is a record number of people registered to vote for the first time. This almost certainly is a good thing for the challenger.

9. The Red Sox won and the Redskins lost.

Must Americans register before every election?
Do federal elections coincide with municiple and state elections?

I fear Bush will win. I've watched and listened to far too many people who bought the iraq/terrorist propaganda hook, line and sinker. These people seem to be motivated by a scary us against them attitude. That includes fellow citizens who they fear will challenge their way of life, ie... gay marriage. Issues that are blown way out of perspective and given way too much importance. Bush supporters have turned a blind eye to the economy, health care concerns, education ect in favour of spouting the company line.

Both Gallup and Pew polls are showing that Kerry is leading amongst the independents.

I am sure Kerry will win.

Hello there, Gezzy ;-))

I have a vast amount of trust in the wisdom of the voting public, which is why I'm convinced that President Bush will be reelected.....

If it were based upon a minimal intelligence requirement, kERRY WOULD BE A SHO-IN. sINCE ITS A TEST of dirty tricks, cynical handlers, and constant repetition of lies as a campaign strategy, Bush will probably win. Im just surprised at how gullible the public is.

Be not afraid.
Get up early and vote.

Kerry wins.


Joe Nation

Kerry will win. Bush approval rating per Hardball last night was in the upper 40's. Also said exit polls in one state for early voters falling 3-5 in Kerry's favor. Another state said 60% early voters were Kerry voters.

I shall vote my conscience.....but I will not put it in God's hands. Not that one who told bush no casualties anyway, but the one who told me that if it was just oral it's not really adultery.

Kerry will win. His electoral vote count will be over 300 which is misleading as his popular vote margin will probably be under 500,000. It is going to be razor thin.

Condie Rice was still pushing the WMD issue in Pittsburgh last week and the people were cheering.
Remember barnums observation.

Remember Lincoln's observation

1.) Not if you haven't changed addresses

2.) There is some overlap


And one of two things will happen. Bush will win a very close, hotly contested battle, or Kerry in a landslide.

Let's hope for the latter.

Hey there rainforest. How goes it? ;-)
