Bush approval drops 2 to 48

In Florida, 30% of registered voters said they already had cast their ballots, using early voting sites and absentee ballots. They supported Kerry 51%-43%.

Terrorism was the most important issue cited by voters in the national poll and in Florida and Pennsylvania. But in four Midwestern states — Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin — the economy was ranked first.

1. Did they finally give up and realize that it's going to be a huge

Kerry victory?

2. Woo hoo! And this is an 1145 pm update!

15. Why is the media releasing vote totals already?

This is the best GOTV the GOP couold possibly have.

18. I'm not so sure.

I still think Bush's strategy was to look like the sure winner going into the final days. Rove believes in the "bandwagon effect", which is to say he thinks undecideds abd keabers will choose who they think is winning.

3. Did you read the whole article?

Its frabjabulous! Not only did the OBL tape do NOOOOOO harm to John Kerry, but Nader is a total joke (see last paragraph)

9. The Nadir apologists would be enraged.

The independent candidate who helped swing the 2000 election to Bush isn't much of a factor this time. Among 1,573 likely voters, he was backed by 9.


How dare they accuse Saint Ralph, the hangdog fuckface, of swinging the 2000 election to Bush. Everyone knows he had nothing to do with it. He was just minding his own business. Why can't those damn corporatists leave Saint Ralph alone?


I finally got a chance to see the hangdog fuck speak. Not only is he an extremeley ugly, dishonest man with a foolish and childish approach to politics, but he's about on a par with Bush as a public speaker. Hems, haws, stops, starts, he wanders off some, uses the wrong words -- him debating Bush would be a fair fight. I'd give the edge to Saint Ralph, but only because he's so fucking ugly people would feel sorry for him, so he'd get sympathy points.

12. What realy sickens me, is-at one time-I had great respect for Nader

In 1999, I would have fought for the man. Sadly, thats no longer true. May he rot...

4. If Kerry has 51% and terrorism is the most important issue...

Does this mean that Bush has played the terror card and LOST?

5. Does my heart good - thanks for the post

7. Do You Know What The Best Thing About That Is?

That headline will be screaming at every traveller and every visitor to a 7-11 in the United States...

8. Do You Guys Realize....?

Do you guys realize that during election night, many networks would call a winner of a state based on less that 35% of the vote?

Not to get overconfident but if this was Tuesday night already, Florida would be OURS!

[Julien Sorel]

10. 51-43.

Under what category do the other 6% of the voters fall? "Refused to name preference" or something like that? Kind of a mystery.

11. Karl Rove is wetting the bed as we speak.

You knew there was going to be a last minute break one way or the other. Personally I thought Sunday night would be a fair time to evaluate and decide which way it was going to be. I think the surgery may be a success.

13. If 51% voted for Kerry,

and 43% for Bush, who the hell did the other 6% vote for?

[BootinUp]

20. Just a thought

There was a report from Iowa that 5% were not voting for president, just local races.

16. All the media should have been listening to us, and...

...America. The media kept spinning that "the OBL tape helps Bush", and the people said, "What the F are you guys talking about?" It only proved that this administration is Mission Not Accomplished!

17. Not believing JK is trailing in PA.

He's gonna take PA!
