Kerry will win because Bush is an idiot.

[Melodybe]

I am getting sick and tired of people still paying attention to the polls, Howard Dean said it best, if polls meant anything he would be the nominee.

They are OVER SAMPLING REPUBS!!! Can you people get that through your heads!?!

Look at their internals!!!! Damn, Freepers and wish washy dems piss me off!

[katmondoo]

1. Amen to that

[tkmorris]

2. Dangerous thinking

Yes Bush is an idiot. Of course, he was an idiot in 2000 as well and he did end up the president. It CAN happen again.

3. Gallup is galluping in the WRONG direction...

The race is dead even.

[NYC Liberal]

4. If you wanna raise your blood pressure, watch the polls.

Me? The only one I'll be watching is the one taking place on Nov. 2nd.

[redpepper]

6. f the poles it won't be over till

the fat lady votes, and that ain't until November 9th!!

[Joylaughter]

5. If the race is even then how stooopid

are the voters? How could anyone with hald a brain vote for * ? So if the race is even than half of the nation is really dumb. Do Dumb people deserve a dumberer president?

[redpepper]

7. Well it was close

four years ago when we were robbed. Which means that there are a lot of people smooth ate up with the dumbass.

[LimeCoke]

8. In the words of George Carlin -

"Think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half the population is dumber than that."

[Melodybe]

9. I don't think that Americans are that dumb, I do think that if you expect

the worst out of people that is what you will get.

13. Dumb isn't the problem. It's ignorance and apathy.

I live in one of the reddest of the red states. These people pay so little attention to Bush's policies and screwups that it literally scares me. They blindly follow Bush because they're too either too lazy to bother paying attention or they just don't care.

They still believe that he's honest and trustworthy. How anyone who has paid even a minimal amount of attention the past couple of years can believe that is simply amazing.

People may not be dumb. But, the near half of the public that still approves of Bush either isn't paying attention or just doesn't care.

10. If that premise were true Gore would be president.

If a poll isn't credible due to a bias in the cohort then nobody should be buying it because it's misleading.

What I'd like to know is, how do the outlier polls keep their MOE w/in 3% points when they've got a skewed dataset?

12. Hehe. Beat me by one minute!

;-)

[boxster]

11. Unfortunately, that didn't help Gore.

Bush was an idiot in 2000, and he still managed to get close enough in the general election so that the Supreme Court could hand him the presidency.

[ramapo]

14. Idiots vote for idiots

The sad truth is our society does not value thinking. For all the emphasis on education, the educated are frowned upon.

Many Americans are simpletons. They eagerly lap up what is fed to them. Nothing has any consequence to them. There is little thought about tomorrow (except what to wear and eat) and virtually no thought about where this country (and world) will be in 25 years given the current course.

America is a reactive society. We are not a proactive people.

Bush targets the lowest common denominator, the simpleton who likes the good vs. evil rhetoric. That is why Bush can win.
