Kerry 269 - Bush 253

What did I say after the GOP convention?

"Don't worry, Bush has NEVER held on to a bump for more than a month."

Now, quit yer defeatist griping, and get the frickin' vote out!

1. Exactly
It looks darn good now. I don't believe for a second that Maryland (which is now listed as "tied") will go for Bush, so that would give us 279. But as you also said- don't rest for a second! Keep fighting until Nov. 2nd! If we become lazy and complacent, THAT'S how we'll lose.

5. One Problem
Even with Maryland and New Mexico, since we don't really believe that Kerry will get Florida, we're still in the hole.

Where are we going to make up those twenty votes? I'm not seeing a likely possibility, since Ohio's getting further away all the time.

6. "we don't really believe Kerry will get Florida?"
Kerry's doing great in "battleground" states. He's not in any hole, imo.

8. It's not a hole
It's a corrupt election process run by the candidate's brother.

We think Florida's going to be stolen again - we can't afford to rely on it.

9. You may not "believe it"...but I and other
People do believe it! Kerry said himself on David Letterman when asked to predict some things..Kerry said "I predict we will win"..and for some odd reason I believe him!

10. Ohio is not getting further away. It is still close as of today's polls.
Also you may believe Kerry won't carry Florida, I happen to believe he will. And even if Kerry doesn't get Florida or Ohio, he can still win if he hangs unto all of the Gore states and picks up West Virginia (still likely, imo) and one of Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, ot Arkensas. That said, losing Florida and Ohio would be a big blow to Kerry's chances, as it leaves little margin for error.

11. No doubt. But what I MOSTLY saw during/after the GOP convention was a lot
of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

16. What you saw was
a lot of people wishing Kerry would do...exactly what he has done in the past week or two.

I see plenty of room for both sides to say, "I told you so".

13. Face it... we've lost.
Kerry should be projected at 400 electoral votes by now. He is inept and his campaign is a disaster. He has not personally responded to my letters instructing him what to do and how frequently to do it. With my infinite knowledge of political strategy, ignoring me is costing him BIG TIME.

We should have nominated Carol Moseley Braun. We're doomed.

15. Good grief!
Even that doesn't show it clearly...

AZ - Kerry 48% Bush 49% Nader 3% (10 ev)
NV - Kerry 47% Bush 49% Nader 1% (5 ev)
CO - Kerry 45% Bush 46% (9 ev)
