Chirac Frets That Kerry Is a Toasted Baguette
2004-06-04
Chief French quisling Jacques Chirac and fellow Saddamite weasel Gerhard Schroeder of Germany are in a dither that President Bush will defeat Sen. John Kerry in November. The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto today noted several signs of the president’s strength. Among them: A Rasmussen poll shows that 54 percent of voters would consider voting for Bush, compared to 49 percent for Kerry. The Iowa Electronic Markets is trading futures on the election. "As of yesterday’s close, a contract paying $1 in the event of a Republican victory was selling for 55.4 cents." A Democrat contract was cheap: 44.9 cents. Best of all ... "If the New York Times is to be believed, the Bush-loathing leaders of France and Germany seem to be banking on Bush: ’Officials in both countries say that their leaders have come to conclude that Senator John Kerry’s campaign to defeat Mr. Bush has not caught fire and that they may have to coexist with Mr. Bush for another four years,’ the paper reported Monday from Paris."

#2  That 55.4 cents number is strikingly similar to a number reported in the Harris Poll on personal optimism. Year over year (April 2003 vs. 2004) the number of people who reported that their personal situation had improved over the last 5 years has jumped from 49% to 56%.
