NBC: Kerry Now Beating Bush 49% to 46%. Reporter Seemed Baffled! |
|
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 11:44 AM by Raya
This is unbelievable! Huge gap between Kerry/Bush and Dean/Bush. (didn't get exact numbers).
Is it possible that Kerry and his "Band of Brothers" movie could help us win back the House and the Senate?
I'm thinking "Band of Brothers" is going to out-draw "Pigs-at-the-Trough" even in the South with a few guys like Hollings leading the charge. Hollings say he is a big Kerry supporter and wanted him to run in 2000 instead of Gore. Hollings is no NE liberal.
Wouldn't it be incredible to have guy with 93% progressive rating in the White House with a Dem House and Senate? We could @##@@ turn the whole thing around.
Hey, and this just after State of Union speech. This is like super-natural, mind-bending stuff!
This is scary. I am waiting for them to release a retraction and say it was a mistake.
And they say the Guy is gearing up to play hockey today.
I've said it before:
Could Rolling Stone’s Will Dana have nailed it better: “John Kerry projects an aura of friendly confidence that suggests he is either out of touch with reality or has the serenity of a Zen master.”

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!
On edit: Bush is RIPE!! 52% do not want to see Bush re-elected, 47% STRONGLY OPPOSED to re-election....only 42% FOR re-election! Off of MSNBC
Sorry for the bad language...I am FLYING right now, though!

Just in time to get everyone on the Kerry wagon for tuesday. Kerry couldn't beat bush with a stick if Bush were tied in a chair. People, don't fall for this.

38. Unfortunately you are probably right. |
|
Kerry won't beat him because it will be a rerun of the Gore/Smirk debates. Boring and you won't be able to tell the difference between them because he will be so polite and agreeable. So millions of people will, yet again, stay home and say "why bother to vote?"

Anytime * is seen as losing or on the defensive it demoralizes the Repub base. * is treading on very thin ice over Iraq and unemployment plus many other issues. I think this is the real thing. * is going down for the count!

I'm not saying Kerry has Greek roots, I am saying that this "aura of friendly confidence that suggests he is either out of touch with reality or has the serenity of a Zen master” is just as likely to be a disadvantage as an advantage.
At least we know that shrub is having real problems if his polls go down after the State of the Onion...must be the bad aftertaste!

29. I agree. Winning in Nov. will depend on total grass-roots ground campaign |

Dem will have to build an army, state by state, county by county, town by town to resist Repub assault and perhaps take the battle to the enemy.

30. Amazing this far out from the general election... |
|
We have not even reach the point a maximum publicity. This is good. Just think when the nominee can start hammering the message home unimpeded.
I have to admire Kerry, all through his life he keeps showing that he has a gut made of concrete and reinforced steel. During a crisis and when the chips are down, I can't think of a better person to have in charge (except for Clark of course :-))

39. Skull and Bones v Skull and Bones |
|
Who cares???
Same secret society equals same interests!
Record does not matter, he is still beholden to the same codes and the same OVERALL Skull and Bones secret society agenda.
A President Kerry would do EVERYTHING that a President Bush would have done in his second term to make sure that things are the way that Skull and Bones wants, and Skull and Bones is more than a college fraternity!!!
It is a secret society, and an elite one at that.
Well, I'm sick and tired of a White House stained with secrecy. Kerry would keep the "SHADOW GOVERNMENT" because Skull and Bones wants it...

46. The fact that Kerry can't get to the 50% means that he will lose... |
|
in the Fall. Kerry has yet to be attacked by the Rove PR machine, and Kerry is very vulnerable in so many ways. In addition, Kerry won't be able to energize and hold the base of his own party, as well as those independents that oppose the war on moral and ethical grounds.

No! It's too early for Kerry to be polling ahead of El Chimpo! He needs to build up to a surprise lead right before the General Election!
The Rethugs will smell blood and start doing telephone push-polls that insinuate Kerry has illegitimate children or engages in devil worship.
And yet ... Kerry needs to build heavy support early enough to live through the October Surprise ... Dick Cheney escorting Osama out of the basement of the White House where they've had him on ice.
Seriously ... I don't put any dirty trick past those amoral GOPers. They're probably all sitting around with a Ouija Board, trying to reach Lee Atwater in hell, asking him what horrible thing they can do to Kerry.

All of the candidates that voted for this war are wounded, Kerry more so than Edwards. Edwards has the advantage that he cannot be pegged as a Washington insider, and he is a fresh face, plus Edwards cannot be tagged as another "Massachusetts liberal."

I am amazed Bush is down this much this early. Usually the incumbent has inflated numbers. Supposedly Bush's SOTU has generated alot of negative feelings. I think people are tiring of all the war and fear mongering by him.
