I predict that with the polls this close so late in the game

[MrScorpio]

Bush and his cronies will get really desparate.

If you've thought that you've seen Republican slime up to now, just wait. The slime will flow like never before.

Mark my word

1. Sadly agree nt

2. late in the game??????

October 15 is 'late in the game.'

For most Americans, this is still pre-season. Most people start to pay attention after Labor Day. It's only us junkies (whose minds have long been made up) that feel like it's late.

3. I still don't think the election will be close.

Someone is going to pull ahead and that person (Dear God, let it be Kerry) will have a decisive win.

But, I've heard that the SBV are planning an October surprise. Hopefully, Kerry has a counterattack ready for these idiots.

4. I predict kerry will win and I have history on my side.

No incumbent who served his full term in Gallup poll history has ever won re-election when he was not leading by atleast 9 points by September since Roosevelt in 1946 when he only lead by two. Thats 6 out of 7 full term incumbents who had a 9 point lead or more by this time who have won. The three who didnt have lost. Bush is now only tied. Remember back then they did not use likely voters only registered.

Caviat-Truman was down in 1948, but he took over after the death of Roosevelt. Gallup called that race for Dewey(Dewey lead in Sept was by 9). Well we know what happened there.

Caviat-Ford also was not a full term president.

INCUMBENT WINNERS-
1940-Roosevelt lead by 9.(Roosevelt won)
1944-Roosevelt lead by 2.)Roosevelt won)
1956-Eisenhower lead by 11. (Eisenhower won)
1964-Johnson lead by 30.(Johnson won)
1972-Nixon lead by 28 points.(Nixon won)
1984-Reagan lead by 21.(Reagan won)
1996-Clinton lead by 21.(Clinton won)

INCUMBENT LOSERS-
1980-Carter lead Reagan 44-40(Carter lost)
1976-Carter lead Ford 47-45 (Ford lost)(not a full term incumbent)
1992-Clinton lead Bush by 9 (bush lost)
2004-Bush and Kerry tied 47-48 (?????)

5. Bush knows this, I'm sure.

Expect a whole lot of his slime

6. I wonder if Rove can nuance the slime just so...

that the mouth-breathing "undecided" will not be offended by it, but will actually buy it, and put the Chimpster in again.
