Even CNN is being forced to choke on the truth now.

[bush equals idiot]

What's that about big leads in the Gallup polls yesterday?

"For now, at least, the trend appears to be moving Kerry's way.

Bush, who held a commanding edge coming out of his convention last month, is now clinging to statistically insignificant leads in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa and Florida, which hold a total of 53 electoral votes. (Even if he doesn't carry Colorado, Kerry's current electoral tally could gain four of that state's nine electoral votes. Voters there are considering a ballot initiative that would distribute their electoral votes based on the popular vote.)

Kerry, who has struggled for weeks in some of his party's traditional strongholds, now appears to have solidified his standing. New polling shows the only so-called "blue" states where Kerry's lead is less than five points are Michigan and Pennsylvania, which hold a total of 38 electoral votes."

There's more.......

2. I thought Kerry was leading in the electoral college now.

I could have sworn I saw that.

3. But, but, but

CNN just said the other day that Kerry was tanking? How can this be?

4. But look where the data came from ...

... based on state polling, interviews with campaign aides and independent analysts.

In other words, they interviewed some GOP hacks who said, "We'll win" and they believed them.

Out-Rageous - I fart in their general direction.
