Gore spanks GW in polls this week

[Moonbeam]

I know I'm writting above your comprehension level, CyberSax, and you are, in your ignorance of current events unaware of sufficient data to put a simple two and two together. "Got to go with the sure winner" refers, obviously, to the recent primary in which McCain, (I mentioned him in the next line), could gain no traction because too many conservatives had already boarded the GW train only because he was, by pole, a SURE winner over Gore. Thus did the conservatives prematurely ejaculate and miss a chance to field a meaningful candidate. The weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth has begun.

Just in case that too went sailing by, It's not me that's going with a sure winner, in fact I hope to vote for a sure looser, (no, not you. It was the majority of Republicans. If you wish now ro redirect your erroneous putdown, 'simpletons' to the proper party(s), help yourself.

If there is anybody, however, I can think of on this forum that shouldn't be calling others simpletons it would have to be you.

Have at it, though, with your vitriolic spleen if it will make you feel better.

Sorry i have to point out the obvious here, but the only poll that matters will be the one taken by the participating members of the Electoral College. The polls conducted prior to the election are interesting tidbits, but have no meaning apart from what you attribute to them. To dispute or trumpet the results of the poll makes for an interesting thread, but nothing more. And as the disclaimer goes in the financial world, "past returns are no guarantee of future results."

It's not as if America will go to hell in a handbasket if either guy gets elected. I have a clear personal preference, but it won't be the end of the world if my choice doesn't win out.

JellyBaby, I agree that it's seems undignified for the candidates to be yucking it up on talk shows, but the fact of the matter is that many more Americans watch Letterman, O'Donnell, Leno, etc. than will watch the debates or Meet the Press and shows of that genre. If you want to get your message to the American public, the talk shows are best way these days.

 

[JellyBaby]

montanafan, that's true. But these candidates are ducking political talk shows and debates, which IMO is a better place for us to get to "know" them and their issues. A 10 minute commercial in the form of Oprah isn't terribly helpful for me -- I could care less what Bore had for breakfast. That's what ties my undies up tight.

good wisdom there my friend and I do know where to draw the line in accepting polls.I also watch to see who is conducting the poll.There are many ways to ask questions in polls,but when the answer is yes or no,it's hard to disregard.(Are you voting for Bush? Yes or No. Are you voting for Gore? Yes or No. Add up the yes's and no's and come up with a poll result.)
The current poll also shows that Gore has something like 235 electoral and Bush 170.(I think that is about what I read).Both candidadates are within range of taking the electoral college. The polls are what dictate the moves of the candidate and in terms of electoral votes,the swing states is where the money and time is spent.
I used to not give a crap about who won right after the disapointment and realization you can't trust what the bastards say anyways(Nixon__"I will end the war in Viet Nam with honor and victory in the my first term" That ended it for me.I am a viet nam vet!)

Later in life,when I was a sales rep for Northern Telecom ,selling multi million dollar telephone systems ,the country voted for a guy who promised to fix the economy with "trickledown economics" Every fortune 500 company we were working with broke off negotiations becuase the entire economic system broke down as a result of that election.I have seen and felt first hand the negative results of an election and from that election forward,I make it a point to study the candidates and validate them one way or another.I do not take my vote lightly and no one but me knows my politic. If you think I am a dem,you are wrong.If you think I am a republican,you are wrong.I would not throw my vote away on a third party candidate becuase that is what it is,throwing your vote away.
I am the swing vote these two candidates are trying to win. They NEED to impress me and so far it is Al Gore who is the most presidential and has the most experience in federeal government.He has the aliances built up to be an effective leader,not like the deviceive nature of his apponent, GW. GW as Gov. of Texas has not done a very good job with that state, as has been revealed by his constituants.Had the people of Texas been able to support his record,I would take him more seriously,but Texas law doesn't give the governor much ability to effect policy. Bush has been a puppet of the state legislature,where the real power is.

An intersting link I found when I was looking for info on Dubyah calling the media guy an ass

I registered last week and in this election will be going democrat...not that Im a huge fan of Gore...but I will NOT have Dubyah running the country if I can do SOMETHING about it.


Oh and just a gentle reminder... Vote everyone....its your right.

=)

What does it matter, the're both products of their party machines. So no matter which one wins, it will be the back room beaurocrats & the corporations that they are beholden to that will be running things.

No wonder most Americans don't bother voting, not that the situation above is much different anywhere else.

>>"Jesus H ,if your going to pull that crap out,you are a real fool.That is a republican,conservitive, tabloid that has no bearing at all on real world stats. It is the republican propaganda page."

HAHAHAHA...funniest thing i've read all day...
just wanna say, newsweek is a democratic, liberal, magazine that has no bearing at all on real world stats.

 

[Warrenton]

Zogby international has Gore up of GWB by 7 points. And the lead is slipping from the poll three days before.

 

[Zucchini]

Silly people, newsweek is BOTH a liberal and conservative tabloid. Everyone can't be wrong right? arghhh cognitive dissonance

 

[MrPALCO]

<< I hardly think Newsweek is in that catagory.It is a well respescted magazine with a very wide readership. >>



Since when did &quot;wide readership&quot; equal Truth and credibility?

We can't wait to clean the stench out of our White House...

 

[CyberSax]

Voter.com, which happens to be a non-biased organization and also happens to be devoted solely to the election this November unlike Newsweek, shows George W. Bush ahead by 2 points.

<< You know, that can be said about your bible too. >>



What are the poll numbers in the Bible?

 

[Thunderbooty]

<< Isn't thunderbooty some 50 year-old guy posing as a young girl? >>




Well, we know YOU'LL never find out now....

 

[MrPALCO]

<< We? WHo's we, the hypocritical Religous Right? Fireman from Ohio? Republicans with their pants on fire? >>



Keep guessing...

One thing seems clear, Americans's increased exposure to Bush and Gore seems to have decreased the favoribility of the former and increased that of the later. Looks like women will again make the call.
