Gore trailed Bush up until the Dem convention. He got a bounce from that that put him in the lead for a few weeks and then he sank until the week before the election. You can look it up.

Your comment that polls are by definition not the voice of the majority is, um, baffling. Of course not. They're samples. Not perfect, but often a reasonable approximation.

Another point before I go off to dinner:

>The GOP will talk credibility "Which Kerry is Kerry this week.". If Kerry can't defend himself better than he has on the issue of his Iraq War vote, he won't get another hearing because everything will be painted with that brush.

Oh please please please. Let's talk about "credibility" with the Bush Administration. Please please please. Bush will lose in a landslide.

I hope you're right. I hope they bring it up. Kerry'll beat Bush like a red-headed stepchild.

Look, you're showing here that you don't give a hoot about Kerry. You want Dean to win. Great. Keep supporting him.
