1. This is pretty amazing

These are the sorts of numbers that are maddening and gladdening.

Maddening because they seem too good to be true!

Gladdening because they might be true!

Growing disapproval
Polls have found growing majorities of Americans, confronted daily with depressing pictures of death in Iraq and abuse of Iraqi prisoners, disapprove of Bush’s handling of Iraq and of the economy.

Pew pollsters found that “the Iraqi prison scandal has registered powerfully with the public — fully 76 percent say they have seen pictures depicting mistreatment of Iraqis by U.S. soldiers. There also has been a sharp rise in the number of Americans who think the military effort in Iraq is going badly. For the first time, a majority of Americans (51 percent) say the war is not going well and the percentage saying the war was the right decision continues to inch downward. The survey was conducted before release of a videotape showing the decapitation of an American in Iraq. For all that, however, public sentiment continues to run against an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. By 53-42 percent, Americans favor keeping the troops there until a stable government is established. That number has changed little since early April, after four U.S. contractors were murdered and their bodied desecrated.”

5. 74462 votes by now. Still same 25 for bush/70 for Kerry.

If enough "LOSER" stench starts sticking to bush, even their best October Surprise won't help them.

If people are writing him off already, and the media's starting to make "we actually may be losing in Iraq" noises, it's all over.

NOBODY likes to hang with a loser. Now, watch and see how many republi-CONS and repundits (howdya like that one? I just made that one up!) turn on him and start deserting the ship, themselves. Those running for their own reelections are not going to want him to come campaigning for them, either.

Denial runs deep, but this may well turn into a runaway train. Nothing even kkkarl can do about it at that point.

6. I was stoked when I saw the numbers!

I was also really excited to see Kerry endorsed by the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, who backed Shrub the last time.

“After three and a half years of disappointing leadership under George Bush, we need to change course in November and elect a president with a real record of supporting police officers and a lifetime of standing with law enforcement,” IBPO President David Holway said in a statement provided by the Kerry campaign.
