Kerry's chances against Bush better than '50-50': Clinton

12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Former president Bill W. Clinton gave Democratic Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) a more than "50-50" chance of beating President George Bush in the November 2 election, saying the Massachusetts candidate has been running a good campaign.

"I think we have got a better than 50-50 chance to win," Clinton, who has been promoting his recently published memoirs "My Life," told cable news channel MSNBC.

"First of all, he's not laying low," the former two-term Democratic president said. "He's doing exactly what he should be doing."

"But if you're not president you can't be in the news every day," Clinton said.

5. I wonder if he's taking into account e-voting and Florida's voter purge.

That probably puts it below 50%, since the right is very good at cheating.

6. votes in FL

not all counties are using e-voting. my county (Hernando) uses a fill in form. I don't know why it isn't used more widely, as there are no chads to hang, and there is a paper ballot.
