MSNBC Just Reported Kerry Has a Five-Point LEAD!!!!

[CO Liberal]

Kerry - 48%
Bush - 43%
Nader - 3%

[wish_I_could_vote]

1. Did they call it a lead or a tie the way they usually do?

[RoundRockD]

4. THey called it a tie as usual.

They also brought up Kerry's comments about the 7 minutes. Of course they didn't mention that he was answering somebody's question.

[Eric J in MN]

7. Yes, Al Franken discussed that.

Franken asked:

Was Kerry supposed to say, I would have frozen, too?

[Hamlette]

22. one play we MUST adopt from the GOP dirty tricks bag

once Kerry takes the White House is media access.

I can't help but think the media is so nice to Bush because they know if they go too hard on him they will get the call from the WH telling them to stop or no more reporters allowed access to anyone in the admin. (Yeah, I know, they are owned by corporate America but access has to be pretty high up on priority list too.)

Kerry should have a tough guy enforcer too. Sure, the media will scream about it but that will be easier to ride out than what we had with Clinton for 8 years.

2. Just Remember:There Is No Bounce- Keep repeating-There Is.....

[ramapo]

3. Nice but....

It's only August.

It might encourage Nader supporters that it's "safe" to vote Nader.

I really have come to hate the never-ending polls

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. A Person Would Have To Be A Dunderhead To Think A 5% Lead Is Safe

but then only a dundehead would vote for Nad(i)r in the first place....

[Eric J in MN]

9. I get disgusted when a Naderite says

"Vote for Nader if you live in a safe state."

The Democrats need us now and we should show them our maximum support.

[RobertSeattle]

5. That 38% "yes" that the Bush would use Terror Alerts for Politcal gain

Is pretty devestating too.

[DaveSZ]

8. Nader voters

IMO only someone who wouldn't mind Clarence Thomas as chief justice would vote for Nader.

[Frances]

11. Great response

Short and sweet and so accurate

[zuzu98]

10. How did they manage to fit that in between

giggling reports about George P. Bush's wedding?
:puke:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. The "Little Brown One"

Got Married....

[zuzu98]

13. LMAO!

Forgot about that one!

[whistle]

14. That says there are 6% who are undecided....

...I'd like to know where the undecideds are most likely to vote.

[Cuban_Liberal]

17. Undecideds ALWAYS break in the challengers favor.

Always. Politics 101.

[VirginiaDem]

15. network shame

The networks refuse to admit that if the election were held today Kerry would win. This is the glaring conclusion any disinterested observer would reach seeing Kerry ahead in MOST polls in most of the battleground states, seeing MOST of the electoral projections putting Kerry ahead and seeing MOST of the national polls showing a 2-5 point lead. If Bush comes back for whatever reason of course some, most or all of these advantages will disappear. But for now Kerry is significantly up.

21. Point Well Taken! Welcome to DU!

Haven't heard the time honored political phrase, "IF THE ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY" :wtf:

Because BUSH is losing!

And Michael Moore and Al Franken are right!
Mighty Right!:argh:

[MODemocrat]

16. Wonder why Bush isn't way out in front of his opponent

The fact that he is the incumbent should put him way ahead of his opponent. Plus the fact he has the media and talking heads working for him full time, covering his tracks, and trying to make him seem presidential. No one is allowed to say anything negative about him without paying dearly for it, so if he isn't be running 2 to 1 with all this bolstering, he's just, in fact, not capable, and people are finally beginning to figure him out. He's been running on scare tactics for three years.
:think: :hangover:

Make sure you get every single person that is in your immediate sphere of influence, i.e. Mom,Dad,kids,Aunts & Uncles to Vote Kerry.

The "little Trickles" from the Kerry Cells will become a raging torrent that not even Fat Fuck Jeb can stop:wow:
