Remember when people were freaking out about the Rasmussen poll?

like 2 days ago? It was 48 to 44, so naturally there was mass panic.

"Bush 45% Kerry 45%

Wednesday April 28, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 45% of the vote and Senator John F. Kerry with 45%.

President Bush has led or been tied for eight straight days. However, he no longer holds the three points plus edge he had maintained over the past three days. Neither candidate has held such a lead for four consecutive days."

1. I told people it was a daily tracking poll

and one day of bad data screws it up for three days.

But no one listened.

3. It's still got 1 day of poll data in it

that contributed to the 48-44. 3 day tracking poll. So Kerry will probably go up again tomorrow.

But if Bush goes up a point, I am sure we will witness mass suicide.

4. and I told people Kerry would surge..

based on him being in the news vis-a-vis Vietnam. The more people hear about Kerry and pay attention, the more they like him. That's why he was up so high during the primaries -- the news carried him alot.

He was out of the news till this week, when the Viet-vet versus AWOL made the news.

Have you seen the moveon.org comparision ad. It is awesome.

5. yes, that ad is indeed awesome

They are ALL manufactured news.
