The libs really are in denial, aren't they? To be staring oblivion in the face so early in the game . . .

Dream on, authorman. A Kerry landslide is borderline impossible. Not one southern state will go for this elitist grandstander. In the end, I doubt too many mid-western states will either. He is simply a horrible candidate. No one in Ohio wants to hear about this dolt feeling obligated to attend Yale due to his 'life of privilege.'

I quit reading after the lie about the high Democrat turnout in the Primaries, The fact is it was one of the worst turnouts

[You Dirty Rats]

A Kerry landslide is not only possible, it's very likely! The South will rise up and vote for this very liberal patrician candidate from Massachusetts in droves come November!

I also think the Pope will convert to Islam and the Red Sox will win the World Serious.

Obviously the author didn't bother listening to the news this last week about the Dimwits worried they need to give Kerry the boot.

I've bookmarked this article with a note to e-mail the author in November, After Dubya's landslide, just to rub it in.

The author.

"But look carefully, and you'll find a couple of nuances in the most recent poll data that point to the potential for a big Kerry win."


How about the fact that Kerry's negatives are going up? He mentions the approvals of Clinton and Reagan but not the approval of Carter in 1980. How does it compare to Bush?

That was my stopping point, too.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

So either:

Bush is Carter and Kerry is Reagan
Bush is Reagan and Kerry is Mondale
Bush is Bush I and Kerry is Dukakis
Bush is Bush I and Kerry is Clinton
Bush is Bush II and Kerry is Gore
Bush is Clinton and Kerry is Dole
Bush is Ford and Kerry is Carter
Bush is Nixon and Kerry is McGovern
Bush is FDR and Kerry is Dewey
Bush is Hoover and Kerry is FDR
Bush is McKinley and Kerry is Bryan
Bush is Lincoln and Kerry is McClellan
Bush is Jefferson and Kerry is Burr
Bush is Reuben Stoddard and Kerry is Clay Aiken
Bush is Nero and Kerry is Galba
Bush is Tiberius and Kerry is Asinius Gallus

Or vice-versa.

But there's another possibility, one only now being floated by a few political operatives: 2004 could be a decisive victory for Kerry.

But there's another possibility. Monkeys could fly out of my butt.

Maybe it is only "being floated by a few political operatives" because there are very few democRATs who can say it with a straight faact.

[KJacob]

Boy I could come up with a long list of those I want to "rub it in" in November. Didn't we have double digit inflation and unemployment during Carter? How can anyone compare that to Bush's economy?

[BlackRazor]

He mentions the approvals of Clinton and Reagan but not the approval of Carter in 1980. How does it compare to Bush?

According to Gallup, from May through September of 1980 (no data is available after mid-September until after the election), Carter's average approval was 35.5% and his average disapproval was 53.6%.

Simple. You just redefine the "misery index".

[Pox]

Wishful thinking.

[KJacob]

"According to Gallup, from May through September of 1980 (no data is available after mid-September until after the election), Carter's average approval was 35.5% and his average disapproval was 53.6%."


So Bush's approval needs to drop a mere 16%? I understand the comparison now. By the way does Kerry have the charisma of Reagan? Just wondering.

You come up with gems like Bush = Carter O.o

[Dog Gone]

Wow, this guy is really trying to convince himself that Kerry is a great candidate.
