I seemed to remember Bush/Cheney clobbering Kerry/Edwards

[ilgipper]

I am beginning to think the Dems are no longer getting a bounce from their conventions because it is just a repeat of the major news outlets. It has turned into essentially a re-run of the nightly news. When the people then turn their attention to the GOP convention they hear the message unfiltered straight from the candidates - without interpretation or soundbites from Katie Couric or the AP - and shift their support to the GOP canddidates.

The Bush campaign was building up a lot of momentum after the conventions, and I believe they were headed for a comfortable victory. Then the race tightened back up after Bush stumbled through the last half of the first debate.
