1. Neck in neck

this is NOT good news for Bush, any way you slice it

[buycitgo]

3. agree, but Kerry is SCREWED, AFA the flip flop tag

they spent those fifty million very "wisely"

everybody, even lots and lots of dems, according to potato faceboy, think he's got a problem with the flopping

one good thing is, they're SO incompetent at EVERYThing besides character assassination, that, as events control the message, as they look to do for quite awhile, they won't be able to use the media stenographers as ably as they've done for the last three-plus years.

and things are only going to get very much WORSE in the ME, both in Iraq and Israel, in the forseeable future

so we've got that "going" for us

6. you sure picked out the doom and gloom from that article

I saw a great poll there ie:

snip Administration officials and Republican groups tried to raise doubts about the credibility of one of the three Purple Heart decorations that Kerry won for his service in the Navy during the Vietnam War, but the effort appears to have backfired. Kerry, who until then had remained largely silent about Bush’s service in a domestic Air National Guard posting during the war, began reviving questions about whether the president had used his family’s political connections to avoid seeing combat in Vietnam. snip


snip However, hard-core opposition to Bush was also more solid, as 30 percent said they felt “very negative” about the president, compared with 22 percent who said the same about Kerry.

Even more crucial in what for the moment is a close race, Bush appears to have a much smaller proportion of voters who might be persuaded to commit to his campaign than does Kerry. A full 19 percent said they were neutral on Kerry, compared with only 8 percent who said the same about Bush.

Political scientists generally presume that voters in the middle of such a spectrum — ranging from “somewhat positive” to “somewhat negative” — can still be persuaded to change their minds about a candidate. Only 40 percent of voters fell within that range when asked about Bush; Kerry, by contrast, could reasonably be seen to have a shot at 61 percent of the electorate.

7. Poll was conducted before Kerry's positive ads hit.

Look for a bump in his numbers very soon.
