Reply #16: Absolutely, this WILL be a close race [View All]

The media have their problems, but reporting this is not one of them.
Even Democratic leaning polsters agree with this and they don't have a big incentive to lie.

The Repugs have a virtual lock on nearly 2/3 of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency. I don't think, despite anecdotal stories, that anyone can deny this. That in itself means a close election.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking no one who voted for Gore in 2000 will vote for Bush* this time. That is wrong. Many people will support Bush* because they (foolishly) believe the war on terror is the most important issue facing this country and Bush* is a strong leader. Believe me, I've talked to a few of these types, so it's real. After the Repug convention, I'll bet this group rises in number. It will put the Nuremburg rallies to shame.
