Bush and Kerry Tied in New Jersey 46-46.
The "global test" doesn't pass in NJ, apparently.
Bush is on Kerry's heels in Wisconsin, Iowa and other stops...What are the size of his crowds compared to Kerry's? Anyone got a bead on this?

If Pres. Bush picks up NJ, Kerry is toast.... French Toast.
The whole McGreevey/Democratic Party mess has left a bad taste in people's mouths.
Ws speech in Arizona drew 30,000+
Kerry's campaign is in meltdown mode.

The race for New Jersey’s 15 electoral votes remains closer than expected, according to the most recent results from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s New Jersey tracking poll. Kerry leads among decided voters by 44%-42%, but when leaners are included the race evens out at 46%-46% with 6% undecided and 2% for third party candidates.
“The President still has an uphill struggle in this Democratic-leaning state,” said Larson, professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson University and survey analyst for PublicMind. “He has to struggle against a majority who think the country is on the wrong track, a majority who think the war in Iraq was a mistake, and a majority who give him low ratings for both the economy and foreign policy.”
A majority (54%) of New Jersey’s likely voters continue to say the country “has gotten off on the wrong track” while only about a third (36%) say it’s headed in the right direction. A majority (53%) rate the President’s overall performance as President as “only fair” or “poor” against 44% who rate him as “good” or “excellent.” Likewise, a majority (53%) rate his handling of foreign policy as only fair or poor while 44% say good or excellent. A similar majority (54%) say the military effort in Iraq is going “not too well” or “not well at all.” And a majority (53%) continue to say that the U.S. action against Iraq was “a mistake.”
Nonetheless, “national security and the war on terror” outpaces every other issue as “most important” and on that issue Bush outpaces Kerry as the better candidate by 67%-26%. “It may be that voters’ concerns with terrorism are causing them to cut the President some slack on other issues,” added Larson.
The PublicMind tracking poll of 508 likely voters was conducted from Oct. 8 through Oct. 14 and has a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.

I'm really worried about Flordia and Ohio
If Pres. Bush picks up NJ, Kerry is toast....
YA THINK????
If the current CNN/Gallup poll at realclearpolitics is replaced by a new one showing Bush ahead, its going to change the complexion of the race. MSM will have a harder time spinning the race as "neck and neck."
Ground zero reflux?
Id love to see a surprise visit to california by bush if there is any chance at winning that state...
kerry is one by one giving up his once held states...

dead - that photoshop is CRAZY! Can I use it?
WOW! I really didn't expect this. This really changes the dynamics of this election. The kerry campaign is down to a bunch of "if's".
"Bush is on Kerry's heels in Wisconsin, Iowa and other stops...What are the size of his crowds compared to Kerry's? Anyone got a bead on this? "
I think his crowds are bigger everyplace he goes right?
