Will Kerry get more votes than Gore did in 2000 ?

[kentuck]

Will he break Al's rcord? Al got more votes than any Democratic candidate in history. If Kerry gets more votes than Gore in 2000, what percentage will he win by? Will Bush get more votes than he did in last election? For some reason, I doubt it. Common sense would tell us that if that were the case, we could look for at least a 51 to 48% victory for Kerry. However, we are too smart not to be very cautious about the upcoming election. We know what they are capable of doing. They stole it once and there is no reason to believe they would not try again.

1. Absolutely

Absentee returns are already breaking records and with the millions of new Democratic voters all Kerry has to do is beat Bush by 1 point and he will hold the new record.

WHEN GORE WON IN 2000...

*The economy was strong and we had a surplus (Bush* was the one who first used the word "recession" --probably as an excuse for his friends to make a stock market "correction" right into their own pockets

*The Democrats had a monotone, stiff candidate who did not earn a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts

*MILLIONS of American jobs had not been OUTSOURCED to other countries

*We had not invaded 2 countries, killed over 35,000 of its innocent people, raped its museums, and videotaped and photographed the torture of defenseless people in prisons

*1069 of our own troops had not LOST THEIR LIVES fighting FOR OIL

*Over 8,000 of our troops had not been maimed, blinded, amputated, shrapneled and otherwise injured as they have under Bush*

*No one had insulted Franco-Americans by denigrating all things French just because France refused to buy into an unnecessary war. Over 13 million Americans claim to have French Ancestors!

*Clinton/Gore had not read MY PET GOAT while Americans were jumping out of the windows of the World Trade Center.

*Rights of Americans given to us by our Founding Fathers had not been nullified by the Patriot Act.

*People were not standing in lines until the midnight deadline to register to vote

*The CEO of the company that turned Grandma's lights out in California had not loaned Clinton his private jet to make campaign appearances

*Americans were not facing the biggest deficit in the history of the United States

*Millions of voters in the state of Florida had not been disenfranchised

*Millions of Americans did not believe their own government was involved in a conspiracy to kill thousands. According to a Zogby poll in August, 2004, 49.3% of New Yorkers and 41% of the people living in the entire state of New York believe that our government "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act."


ALL OF THESE THINGS HAD NOT HAPPENED and Gore still WON in 2000!

What makes anyone think that this will be anything LESS THAN A LANDSLIDE FOR JOHN KERRY!!?
