Yeah!! Virginia pro-life (former) Bush supporter switches to Kerry!!

[Tesibria]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

After a 5-day long conversation w/ my best friend, who started out as strongly supporting Bush and strongly disliking Kerry, and who is very very Catholic/"pro-life" ... we had the following email exhange this morning:

Me: These showed up in my inbox today – thot you might find it interesting per thots yesterday (attaching copies of the Catholics endorsing Bush - listed at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=103&topic_id=80540&mesg_id=80540

Her: ok. i'm convinced.

Me: Really??? (yeah I know - how profound ...not)

Her: Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy -- if it weren't 9:30 am, I'd have a drink to celebrate !!!

4. Perhaps story on Kerry conceding the south is a decoy?

8. SUSA is not a reliable poll

sorry, but I realize Kerry will at least be competetive, but can you find another poll to support these numbers?

[Tesibria]

10. not yet

Rasmussen doesn't have any recent numbers and Zogby doesn't start the battleground state tracking (published anyway) until the 24th...

but i'll keep looking :)

12. We're 4 to 5 points down according to Zogby

[Tesibria]

11. hmmmmm

Zogby did just release the list of "battleground" states he'll be tracking beginning the 24th:

Colorado
Florida
Iowa
Michigan
Minnesota
Nevada
New Mexico
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin

Rasmussen includes 16 "battleground" states in his tracking:
Arizona
Arkansas
Florida
Iowa
Maine
Michigan
Minnesota
Missouri
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Mexico
Ohio
Oregon
Pennsylvania
West Virginia
Wisconsin

But he only releases daily tracking information on:
Florida
Michigan
Minnesota
Ohio
Pennsylvania

He periodically updates other states -- I'll keep watching ..
