1. jesus christ

Those are some amazing numbers.

[sandnsea]

3. You're not kidding

And I'm not talking about the Kerry numbers either. :crazy:

[bushwakker]

5. It's a conspiracy

[bornskeptic]

14. Fantastic!. After 54 years I finally get to be part of a conspiracy.

Sure glad I hopped on that Kerry bandwagon 16 years or so ago.

[GalleryGod]

17. Thanks for the Sardonic Chuckle!

:smoke: My sentiments exactly- except I go back to April,1971.

:toast:

[BruinAlum]

2. Wow! I'm a Kerry supporter but those numbers appear high to me

[_Jumper_]

4. 7% to 49% in three weeks

Yeah, they all looked at his policies and made that decision...

Note: this is not an attack on Kerry but an attack on those allowing the media to select their candidate.

[krkaufman]

6. Front covers of Newsweek & Time...

... with positive stories, plus much more positive media.

[_Jumper_]

8. Right

It is sad that seeing someone's face on a magazine determines how many people will vote. :nuke:

[ringmastery]

9. People like winners

It's the bandwagon effect.

It's nothing to be surprised about. It happens in every aspect of our culture in sports, business, and yes politics.

People like WINNERS.

[joshcryer]

13. People like to feel that *they* are winning, too.

So they tend to stray from anyone who they think will lose, regardless of the issues.

[Skip Intro]

15. Well let's hope bush doesn't rise in the polls before November

Thru an osama capture or wmd find or economic fluke or mass-fear (ricin?).

I'd hate to see a rush to back him just because he's percieved a winner at the time.

[joshcryer]

7. Indeed.

I wish others would see the... obvious.

[oasis]

11. It's obvious a majority of Americans want Bush out of the White House.

[joshcryer]

12. Actually, that won't be obvious until after Nov.

But nice try.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

10. Look, I don't need any more good news right now, thank you

[frustrated_lefty]

16. Testing my limits,

but another congratulations to Kerry and his supporters. Good job, guys, you have reason to be proud.

[molly]

18. True grit - those are truly amazing numbers

proving once again that people don't start paying attention until January.

[mitchum]

19. Beautiful!

[Octafish]

20. Kerry would CLOBBER Bush one-on-one.

The thought of debating Kerry makes the bed-wetting Little Turd from Crawford flood his Depends.
