Virtually all the polls show that right now, its Kerry 52% vs. Bush 48%
Edited on Wed May-05-04 11:13 AM by TruthIsAll
Don't believe the BUSHIT that * is ahead. He is BEHIND. And that is AFTER he shot a $75 million advertising load.

Kerry is AHEAD. And that is BEFORE he spends a measly $25 million in May.

This is the result when you add 2/3 of Nader's support and 2/3 of undecided voters to Kerry's total, a reasonable expectation of the split based on historical evidence.

Approximately 2/3 of undecided voters split to the challenger.
Nader support will also split in that ratio for the Democrat.
And 2/3 may well be a conservative split ratio for Kerry.

So when you see a typical poll:
Bush 43
Kerry 41
Nader 6
Undec 10

Kerry is actually at 41+2/3*16 =41+10.6 = 51.6%

1. Now the shit will really start flying
If we thought that BushCo had been flinging the dung before, I'm afraid that it will really start getting ugly now!

3. Why is there still so much support for the monkeyman?
That just discourages the sh!t out of me. Is this really a nation of rubes?

4. PRIDE, false pride does this, prevents one from saying I bet wrong
so they stay the course hoping against all hope bush will come through somehow.

5. That's probably not all that far-fetched
And my prediction is a lot of the undecideds are going to go for Kerry.

7. Kerry is poised to make a move into Landslide territory.

Watch him pull solidly ahead of * by Memorial Day.

How does 55%-45% sound, using the formula:

Real Kerry% = Kerry% + .67*(Nader% + undecided%)
