AP: Democrats said their private surveys... momentum for the president
Anyone read this garbage.

AP press says President has the momentum.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=1&u=/ap/20041031/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_rdp

As President Bush (news - web sites) and John Kerry (news - web sites) crisscrossed Midwest battleground states Saturday, a new poll showed the incumbent moving ahead of the Massachusetts senator in the popular vote, and Democrats said their private surveys also hinted at momentum for the president.


ARGHHHH
WTF????

2. Yeah, it's been pissing me off all day. It's an AP article that is all
over the place. ABC and MSNBC have it on their front page.
I don't even believe it, but even if their poll says that, why in the hell would you tell the press?

Democracy Corps Conference Call.

People may dismiss it as a lie even though we know it is absolutely the truth! Copy and paste that story and email it to people, just leave the last part off.

14. PLEASE NOBODY TRY TO HOLD IN A FREAK-OUT!!!
Holding in a FREAK-OUT is like holding in a sneeze.
Your whole brains could EXPLOOOOOODE!

If you feel a freakout coming on over a phony AP
story like this, you NEED TO LET THAT FREAKOUT OUT!
Don't hold it in!

Unless, you know, you're just ... sort of ...
pretending ... to freak out ... for some reason ...
or other.

11. These are the same kind of people...
...who when Kerry has a commanding lead say that the "race is in a virtual tie" and when it's tied or Bush is up by a point say that Shrub has an insurmountable lead.

Rubbish.

13. As if
Democrats would admit to anyone in the press that "private surveys" showed Bush moving ahead.

15. making a list and checking it twice

These posts have been all over the boards since this morning.

there were dozens of threads that posted polls with Bush ahead, and a very short 'oh my god, this is terrible news'

Just wait till Monday and Tuesday, the same posters will be working like crazy with 'I'm worried to death we will lose' type titles.

I'm making a list and checking it twice.

Bwhahahaha!!!
