Its time for a change
re:
#1) Undecided will pretty much be split--all 28 of them. Anybody who hasn't decided by now probably isn't voting. What really works for Democrats is big turnout and this year is going to be the biggest ever.
2) ALL polls are biased, as is the reporting of them.
3) Whether Bush stole the election or not, he got in in 2000 on a fluke, a constitutional loophole. Half a million more people voted for Gore than Bush. You bet Democrats think he stole it but whats even worse is that he took a "victory" of a few hundred and pretended it was a mandate for his actually radical views. Democrats have been almost competely shut out and vilified during the last 4 years, even with the country at war--thats why his recent "appeal" to Democrats, citing the names of Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy was completely ludicrous. Sure is strange when there's so many people in his party that hate those 3 and what they ddid for America. Bush isn't half the man those 3 were. Truman and Kennedy were combat veterans while Bush avoided it like the plague.
Whats really ludicrous is that it looks like Bush has not picked up ONE vote from our side while we picked up votes from his AND Nader's. Kery has to run agains Bush AND Nader while Bush is only really competitive against Kerry with the help of Nader. Thats really a LOUSY record for a sitting president, but that's Bush's record all over: lousy. But Nader is only doing less than 25% of what he did last time because his followers are actually to the left of Kerry andknow that last time they helped elect Bush. Most of them are voting for Kerry--if theyres a Nader follower that votes for Bush, that is one Nader follower that is Failing To Grasp The Concept
Its hard to really tell whats going on from CA, we're not a "battleground" state although the highest populated. Neithe Kerry OR Bush plays ads here, its all local stuff. We think its really chickenshit that national elections are decided by just a handful of states.
4) You think Republicans don't do that? There's been dirty tricks galore by both sides--why do you think the Republicans hands are clean on this? Oh thats right, you ARE a Republican. Well from here it looks like the Republicans do all the bad things--that's why more people voted for Gore than Bush.
5) Ojala! Vamos a ver! *

Stay good big guy, see you at the polls!
