My prediction is Kerry will get 54 percent of the vote
He will win so I will post this ahead of time.

Remembering back when the war started in Iraq. You could go into the most liberal of areas and hear support for Bush. I didn't even want to go out because I was so distressed by how many people, especially those close to me could feel that bombing and killing was something to cheer for. Michael Moore was even booed at the Oscars and it seemed like some Orwellian nightmare. There were people being arrested for wearing "Let there be peace on earth" T-shirts and rock singers were booed for speaking their minds.

CNN,ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CBS and their "in bed with" reporters did all they could to sell the war and Fox of course put music to the bombs dropping to enhance the conditioning with their "Must follow administration" hypnosis. It seemed we were headed toward a real "1984".

But the people said "No". Led by such courageous people as Michael Moore, Howard Dean, Jon Stewart, a handful of Senators and thousands of other good people who made peace a cause. We helped to give voice to the truth they tried so hard to silence. As we saw the truth being knocked down by some, we joined our fellow Americans in standing it back up.We then went out and made Fahrenheit 9/11 number one at the movies. People began to see that behind the velvet lies there was a truth as hard as steel. At the republican convention we had a 4 mile long protest against the war. The numbers were too hard to ignore so the media changed the subject by trying to tear down a war hero. But there were three 90 minute debates where the people could see Bush the way he is. The people started turning on the media.And Finally it seems that the media is reporting on the truth(except of course Fox), although they still try to balance out negative news by negative reporting of Kerry. So yes they cover the truth but tell you because the truth is negative they have to be fair and "give the other side" which is a smokescreen or questioning of the truth. But once again the people are smarter than that.

So Now it looks like we will be sending the Bush administration out to pasture.And there will be a cheer heard around the world. It is all because we came together as Americans and nailed our red,white and blue to the mast and weathered the storms of this administration and the feeder bands of the media. And with the truth to guide us we will set a course for better days. And all I can say is God Bless America.

1. 54%?
You mean, after cheating? Based on voter turnout alone, this election should be a Kerry landslide.

12. too late, I predicted weeks ago Kerry by 72%
of course, I was attacked for doing so, but I stand by the fact that I went out on a limb to make that prediction based on nothing but gut feeling.

3. I think that is a good prediction.
Nader will get very few votes. I predict that Libertarian candidates will siphon off chimpy supporters in the south.

4. Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson are the ONLY Democrats
to take 54%+ in the last century. I will be THRILLED if John Kerry takes 50% plus 1.

5. My prediction is
that we're heading into one of the biggest electoral clusterfucks in our history. We'll know soon enough if I'm wrong (any and all gods out there, please let it be so!!!), but I've little hope that we'll finish the week without a whole raft of litigious knifefights.

8. Prostedigitation
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 12:22 AM by LiberalAndProud
# Voters Nationwide: 157,000,000 VOTERS

New Voters: 5,000,000
* 42% 2,100,000
K 58% 2,900,000

Kerry will win the popular vote by a minimum of 800,000. Add this to Al Gore's popular vote margin (am I right to think half a million?) 1,300,000 margin. + 4% net gain 420,000 1,720,000

Kerry by 3 points.

* 49%
K 52%

11. My wife and I are voting this morning. 2 more for Kerry!!
I'm worried that the Bush Crime Family will not except defeat and will do everything in the book to steal another election. If this happens I'll be the first one in the street raising hell!

Kerry in a LANDSLIDE!

14. Kerry 51 to Bush 46.5
The Waterman Poll, considered the mosy accurate in the nation, has found that Kerry is likely to have about a 4.5 lead in the popular vote. This is a huge victory.
