Take a look at this MSNBC poll
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6092749/#survey It has Bush beating Kerry BIG TIME! You know why?????
My theory is that the story about Cheney's Daughter is directly linked to this poll. As bad news surfaces for Kerry the Right wingers get excited about an article then click into that article in HUGE numbers. Meanwhile Democrats who don't care about this don't read the article and never see the poll. This goes both ways! Why do you think Kerry was winning all those Internet polls right after the debates? Because Democrats were excited and were logging in to read about how Kerry won. Meanwhile the Republicans were feeling down and didn't read about election news. Remember how Bush was winning all the Internet polls after the Republican convention? It was because Republicans were pumped and Democrats were down and not engaged with these kinds of articles.
So is my theory right or am I full of crap? Is their anyone who could do a research paper on this? Make sure you give me credit for the idea once it gets published.
