Default Way OT-- Electoral Breakdown

csmonitor.com has a very informative exposé on the Neocons.

The polls that seemed most accurate in the 2000 election, were those which
sampled "likely voters".


A big intangible that the pools don't measure well, especially when they
focus on "likely voters," is that the Democratic base is more energized
and united than ever in recent memory (largely because they detest Bush
and his extremist Neocon administration and its miserable record), while
the Republican base is demoralized and on the defensive.

Republicans tend to vote more reliably than Democrats, but this year
might be different.

While it is just an aside, no sitting Senator, who campaigned for POTUS has been
elected since J.F.K. Bad omen? I hope not, as long as someone replaces Dubya!

We'll see whether that's really true, on election day, but you can
see some of this reflected in the money that has been put into the
Kerry campaign. It was the first time that a lot of us made more
than token contributions to a campaign. And this is one of the
"little" side issues why (the Supreme Court should be the biggest
concern): http://tinyurl.com/5g388

After 40 years in the grave, I doubt Kennedy would do to well in the debates, even
against Dubya. :~^)

Can you imagine if JFK ran now ? Republicans would
dig up some military people to claim that he was a
coward and made up the story about PT109.

The lovefest between kenny and yourself notwithstanding,
convention is for bottom posting. Some might consider it rude, even if it's
being done only to rile kenny.
