Why are so many analysts saying that this race is already over?
I don't know if Sabato is correct or not, but I hope we aren't whistling past the graveyard already.
I think many analysts are "projecting" their FEAR of a Leftist in the White House or their FERVENT DESIRE for a Leftist in the White House. The fundamentals are all in place for a major shift to the LEFT in this country. They may be reading TEA LEAVES but FEAR and HOPE are powerful emotions, difficult to hide.
Just one man's opinion!
Because they wish it was because Kerry would win right now. Kerry will be found out and Bush will unleash everything on this guy that will make Kerry look like the biggest liberal in the world.
The analyst know this is not over and they want the Republican base to put up the white flag. Kerry will lose and he will lose "BIG TIME."
Simple answer: The Left is programming The Sheep for the vote in November.
The Sheep need constant feeding, given their short-term memories Ask a Sheep about what they watch and listen to: they can quote chapter-and-verse about their fave stars, but can't remember September 11th.
Why are so many analysts saying that this race is already over?
They are trying to "create facts on the ground," psychologically. They want the mood to be so weighted to this "conventional wisdom" that it will happen, simply because everyone knew it was going to happen. Kerry voters will turn out to be part of the happy herd and Bushies (I actually heard a reporter use this term in this context) will be so discouraged that they won't show up.
And on November 3rd Peter Jennings will complain that the American voters had a temper tantrum when it DOESN'T happen their way.
Because they are rooting for Kerry. Call it a campaign contribution.
Because their Little Red Book tells them that if they repeat a lie often enough it becomes "true".
Bush can't win, so all Republicans might as well stay home, like they did in the Panhandle when Brokaw(spit) and company called the state for gore.
Because a lot of "undecideds" vote for whoever is perceived to be the eventual winner. Convince them that your man has it in the bag, and the game is almost over,.
Becasue the sheeple won't have to think for themselves and they'll believe anything and if they say he is ahead enough they sheeple won't even come out to vote. That'll be good for us. Go sheeples.
They are just hoping that if they repeat it enough times it just may come true. It's their Mantra, dictated by "mc Awful".
