4. The main thing
is what happens on November 2--not what the skewed polls are saying this way ahead of time. Face it--it's actually good to see the polls skewed toward Bush--it means that there will likely be a lot of people who won't go to the polls, thinking the chimp has it all wrapped up.

And as has been indicated WAY, WAY more--the Gen Y voters aren't fairly represented, and we know by a wide margin, they're on our side.

Face it: those who voted for Gore in 2000 are highly unlikely to be voting for the idiot this time around; we've seen so many people who DID vote for the moron in 2000 who won't be voting for him this time, and there are a lot of people who voted for Nader who won't vote for him this time around. Remember this: the media is completely biased as we all know, so why even bother relying on their highly suspect polls in the first place? Let's just get out there a week from Tuesday, and vote for Kerry! We've waited 4 full years for revenge against the criminal right wing, and we need to make sure it's a victory to be savored--revenge is best served cold.

5. can't help him today , so you should!!
I am home sick with a whisper of a voice and my head ringing in pain, not sure if this is the flu. but i am uselessly surfing the net , have not been able to get up and get the papers let alone do my kerry calls. I feel guilty, but I was obsessed with polls yesterday. I got over it. I just hope I get over this other thing. Yikes, I feel like shit.

9. i'm not paying attention to the polls

they flucuate and can't be considered accurate. for one, new registered voters are not factored in.

i'm focusing on Sunday's Redskins game. according to my son, who has been studying elections, when the Redskins have won their last game prior to the election the incumbent president has also won. :-) Go Packers!!!!
