At this point the only voters going for Bush who I will respect are those like the fellow who wrote the 'clown' piece that essentially say "he's useless and obviously so but Kerry I think would do worse." Anyone heaping praise on Bush is quite frankly blowing smoke up their own ass.

Rasmussen's nationwide tracker has been calling it a tie or a 1-2pt Bush lead for about a week now; the numbers in the battlegrounds are better for Kerry than they have been for weeks and they're even giving him a slight lead in WI after reporting it Bushwards for ages. FL has drifted back to 'toss-up' status. They've still got that alarming K49-44B poll up for NY from mid-Sept - I presume this has widened in line with the rest of the east coast.

Hilariously confusing stats of the day: Washington Post gives Bush a 54% approval rating (+ incumbent factor = home and dry) while NYT/CBS pegs that figure at 44% (he's dead in the water). Oh, and the Washington Post gives Kerry a 4pt lead in the marginals.

I'm pretty optimistic for Kerry, but I also think that the sudden influx of lefty radio in Denver (Air America and KGNU from Boulder)has skewed my perceptions a bit. I have been sorta shocked by seeing a number of Kerry/Edwards stickers on F150s and SUVs down here in Arapahoe and Jefferson Counties.

For sign pilferer, politicians aren't only ones falling flat on their faceBy Lynn Bartels, Rocky Mountain NewsOctober 19, 2004
A Lakewood Republican stealing campaign signs late one night got nabbed when he ran across a low- hanging driveway chain, fell face first onto a pilfered sign and the concrete and knocked himself unconscious...

PF: I do sometimes feeling we're grasping at straws (like the paragraph in Momus's link upthread which details a study showing how Undecideds in most elections plump for the challenger by a big margin).
The Pennsylvanian Republicans on News 24 last night were surprisingly meek and equivocal - "It's gonna be close" - whereas their Dem counterparts were positively bullish. It does boil down to the GOP's famed ability to rely on their core vote actually voting vs the Dems' wealth of new supporters who may or may not turn up.

I lurk AOL message boards frequently to amuse myself. And the appalling lack of basic reading/writing comprehension skills reminds me just how unique ILX as an intelligent online community as well as how AOL Users are, sad to say, closer to the typical American when it comes to education, knowledge of world affairs, and political insight. It's also fun to just read them since they're like an exact foil of ILX.
