"Also ABC"

Yes ABC..with Mark Halperin and his memo to skew all political coverage in favor of John Kerry and against President Bush.
Now why does that not inspire any confidence in me regarding ABC polls?
Over the weekend, not a single poll had Hanoi John Kerry ahead.
Meanwhile, President Bush was ahead by 5 points in one poll and 6 points in another, his worst performance being the polls where he was tied with Kerry.
No matter how you twist it, Bush wins.

I haven't ever though the President would lose. Hubby has decided to not watch ANY pundits, etc, because he's worried stiff about voter fraud. I don't know why I'm so confident, but I am. I'm thinking the President will get at least 52% of the vote to Kerry's 48%. I think some of Kerry's folks will abandon him at the last minute, knowing he'll lose anyway, and cast a protest vote for Nader. I want the President to have a resounding win IN SPITE of rampant fraud!! I want the Dems ground into the dirt!!

Well, THAT math didn't quite add up! I meant that I don't expect Kerry to get more than 44%, with 4% going to Nader. I'm hoping that the President gets a large enough vote count that even without Nader, Kerry couldn't have done it!
