#3 The DU thread linked to by spiffo is scary.

Are these people for real? Do they have anything better to do than spam online polling sites (DU lists scores of them!)? Do more than a handful of these hominoids have jobs, families, mortgages?

Even more disturbing: the MSM jokers are doing their own version of poll-spinning. Perhaps they should get real jobs (and a life) as well.

#4 Amazingly, ABC News' poll was the most balanced, at 42-41-13 with a 4.5% margin of error ...

#5 As long as they have to be real legitimate live registered people to vote on 11/2... at this point, that's all I'm concerned with. I want to see what America is today - with a simple honest up or down vote on Bush.

#6 There's so much MSM spinning going on, and DU/Kos/527 + Guardian spamming going on, that I'm increasingly of the view that this election will not be close, for two reasons (in addition to the usual reasons that Kerry's a fool and Nader's on the ballot in FL and other crucial states):

-- I hear more and more about "silent majority" moderate, even liberal, closet Bush supporters who have not publicized their inclination out of fear of reprisals from business associates and neighbors. These are especially prominent among middle-aged Jews in the blue states-- the kind of Lieberman centrists whom the Mikey/Howie/Jimmuh party has pushed out;

-- that plurality of voters who are still undecided and who will almost certainly make up their minds during the last 48 hours. These types are not political junkies or ideologues, and they and vote almost always on gut issues concerning either their pocketbook or the candidates' "character"-- both of which should favor Bush.

Increasingly, this election campaign's resembling the Calif governor race: Bustamante vs Schwarzenegger. Two days before the election, The LA Times reported these two were tied.

Busta-who? My point exactly.

#7 Agreed. I keep wishing the election was tomorrow, so we could just get on with the important things like clearing out Fallujah. And I also agree that the election will define what America is today -- an adult that can face reality and do what needs to be done, or an immature fool who would retreat into some tranzi make-believe world in which evil can be legislated away.

#8 Agreed with #5, I should point out. I wish I was as confident as you are in #6, lex, but I can see Kerry coming out on top. I don't think it will happen, but even the fact that he is getting serious consideration is appalling to me.

#9 If the silent pro-Bush majority do make themselves heard on nov 2, then I think you'll see the fragmentation of the Dems into either a small minority party inclined to the left or else a centrist party that souljahs Mikey and his ilk and reaches across the aisle to McCain, Rudy, Arnie et al.

Oh, and the continued meltdown of the incompetent MSM.

#10 Well, my personal predictions aside, we should all be contacting BC04 offices to see how we can help register voters and get the vote out.

Take nothing for granted. If you live in OH, PA, FL or CO, please volunteer to help get out the vote.

#11 Lex: Add Wisconsin, Missiouri, New Mexico and Iowa to that list. GWB might just need them.

Vote, people, vote!

#13 I suspect "YouLove" is a porn spammer. Not that I went to its link, but its posting the same thing over and over and over and over.
