Bush's internal numbers not good.
That Republican official said polling for Bush showed him in a weaker position than some published polls, both nationally and in battlegrounds. In many of the key states, the official said, Bush is below 50 percent, and he is ahead or behind within the margin of sampling error -- a statistical tie.

"There's just no place where they're polling outside the margin of error so they can say, 'We have this state,' " the official said. "And they know that an incumbent needs to be outside the margin of error."

2. I would gloat but I'm so suspicious of
anything that comes out of the mouth of ANYONE associated with BushCo. At this point if they said the sky is blue I would wonder what they were up to.

3. Could this also be a message to the bush cult members
to do whatever it takes -- like what happened in various states during the 2000 voting???

I just wonder why this oh so secret information is being leaked???

Our polling guru has been saying this -- Truth is all -- that the probability of Kerry winning is very high.

P.S. Thanks TruthISAll for your hard work -- I've forwarded your website to people who make the mistakes of listening to the corporate media.

5. I guess that's what I was getting at
Everything they say and do is so carefully scripted by Rove it makes you wonder what the point of this was. And considering the threatening emails DUers have been getting from sicko freepers, one wonders just how far they're willing to go. Very far, too far, methinks.

4. I think they have not been good for a while.
That's why their actions have become so desperate, eg "chopper visits".

6. I think this could be true, because of some of their recent actions.
It's almost unheard of to see a Natl Security Advisor doing stump speeches. The over the top reaction of the Cheney's about the comment about their gay daughter.

I just don't think a reasonably secure campaign would do those things.
