1. The Bush bounce is collapsing

eom

2. The SUSA

numbers are pretty good. Looks like CA is back to around where it's supposed to be. SUSA really screwed up twice showing Kerry with extremely small leads.

3. Good shit. nt

4. So..

can we pull 80% out of Oregon now? It seems to be in the bag, and that money is sorely needed in other states. Colorado seems tempting..

8. I read Kerry pulled advertising from CO

on a thread here yesterday.

[0rganism]

9. Must be an internal, cos the Aug. 19 Rasmussen showed a tie there

I wonder which way the numbers are going, to take the state out of play?

11. I just reread the article

and it said they're pulling out until October.

I would think it must be trending toward * because if we were ahead comfortably it would make sense to go in for the kill and not let it sit lame for a month.

12. Co may award votes proportionally.

Which would be sweet for us.

[tritsofme]

13. I really doubt that will go through

But if it did, it would be very good for us, and in a tight election it could throw the EC to us.

10. Watch out, tho, Oregon can be volatile, and bush is bombing us

With the gay marriage ban on the ballot this time, expect turnout to be high among the homo-hating rednecks.

You can't turn on the TV to a local channel without getting a slew of bushit ads, and we've proven repeatedly that we are swayed by even the most garbalicious of television commercials. Kerry might be able to withdraw his campaign funds, but I hope a couple 527s keep us in mind.

5. VERY encouraged by the NC numbers....I live in Raleigh, work in RTP (...

lots of $$$ there, but also lots of brains) - and most bumper stickers seen on commuting are Kerry (and my shiny new DU sticker I put on this morning!). I think we can win NC!

6. wait til the kelly book and his awol story gets some answers

the debates will be the key

7. Look at Ohio!

14. Washington: Kerry 50% Bush 44%

August 9, 2004--In Washington, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows Senator Kerry with 50% of the vote and President Bush with 44%. Four years ago, Bush lost Washington's Electoral College votes to Al Gore by five percentage points.

The state remains in the Kerry column for our Electoral College projections.

Last month, Kerry held a nine-point lead in Washington.

In Washington, Kerry leads 86% to 10% among Democrats. Bush leads 88% to 9% among Republicans. As for those not affiliated with either party, Kerry leads 50% to 38%.
