I agree.

It's Dubya's election to lose and I don't see that happening.

The "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" phrase comes to mind.

All the rest is just a bunch of caca.

But....Hope is on the way!!!!!!!!

W's numbers are supposedly up.

The bump Kerry got, what tiny bit it was, is totally gone.

IMO, Bush's numbers are up.

After the convention and its bump, he needs to hammer on the next 4 years.


Do that, and he may have it.

I am still in the belief that Kerry is gonna beat em, based from the Hollywood elite's voice, and the hip thing to be "Anti-Bush"

Looks to me like W.'s approval rating is still on the way down or staying even. Only the ABC poll has his rating above 50%. Has anyone seen any other poll where W.s approval rating is above break even?

No president has won re-election with a negative approval rating at this point

I see some rough http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20040830/capt.malr10208302142.kerry_malr102.jpg waters ahead for Kerry. Can he stay afloat?
Not if he doesn't start kicking some ass.
