Is this new one?
This early? Wow
Zogby must be tweaking the recipe on his secret sauce to make for an interesting race, or practice some gluteous protectus in the credibility department.
This is a damn good quote mad by Bush today.
"The party of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman and John Kennedy is rightly remembered for confidence and resolve in times of war and in hours of crisis," Bush said. "Senator Kerry has turned his back on `pay any price' and `bear any burden.'
"And he has replaced those commitments with `wait and see' and `cut and run.' Many Democrats in this country do not recognize their party anymore. And today, I want to speak to every one of them: If you believe that America should lead with strength and purpose and confidence in our ideals, I would be honored to have your support, and I'm asking for your vote."
Kerry LOST a point?? Folks, he isn't going to go over 45-46% tops on Election Night. In no poll has he hit 50% in the past two months. And we're only a week away from Election Day!
The Libertarian does not get .1%?
Wow.
Yep. The party of once-great Democratic Presidents and great Americans has now turned into the party of cowardice, division, defeat, and retreat. That's why Americans are turning their back on it and the candidate who is its standard-bearer.
Yeah, but... to the rescue: Slick Willie is on his way!
It is a less complicated story and the truth is getting harder to ignore. The MSM is surely watching this now.The people investigating this angle are getting very close to coming up with some evidence.
Sooner the better!
This article is from Monday. Tuesday's Zogby number has yet to be released.
Zogby releases his tracking poll each day at 7am EST. You can usually find it first at reuters.com (ugh)
This thread should be pulled...it uses YESTERDAY's numbers.
No offence, family op.
I see the president is leading 49 to 46 percent today. smaller leads in Ohio and Florida. Jim
