The data! It's too noisy!!!



(but I do think Kerry will win. I've lost count of the Bushies I know who were rattled to their cores over that first debate ;) )

I think the results are ballpark quality stuff, gives you an idea of trends, etc. Wouldn't get real strung out on specifics/accuracy of the data though.

The one that counts will be Nov 2nd:), and it's shaping up to be a real squeaker...

Trouble is, electoral-vote.com has no method to its madness. They just pick polls out of the air that have been reported for some state with no mention as to the methods behind the poll nor the partisanship associated with that poll. It should be one polling organization across the country to get a fairer idea of true voter sentiment...well...maybe not fairer but at least consistent.

If Bush doesn't fair well in the next two debates, I think he loses..however...of course there is time for Rove to use the dark side of the force and conjur up some black magic ---(sorry conjur...no pun intended)

Just think...Halloween will be about over...kids will be done trick or treating...all of a sudden..."breaking news" on the fox news channel...they have learned that OBL has been captured...but during the fire fight..he was badly "injured".....and his dead body is displayed on TV.

Of course he has been dead for years and he would show signs of freezer burn...so ILM is in charge of cleaning up the footage...

Well, since the administration didn't plant WMD in Iraq, I suspect they don't have OBL on ice;)

You know..you think they would have planted something...or are they just that daft?

See that's how deceptive they are. They have planners who are experts in human psychology who realized if they passed on the opportunity to plant WMDs (a somewhat difficult task to complete because of the logisitics and how many people would have to be involved) then people will believed that since they did not do that then they wouldn't do something like put OBL's body on ice until a few days before the election (which can be handled by a handful of people- perhaps Cheney, Rumsfeld and Condi Rice themselves [Condi provides the freezer]). Then all they have to do is bear the mild storms of controversy as the public realizes there were no WMDs then as they reveal OBL right befoe the election- the people will suddenly forget all about WMDs and Bush will win by landslide. It's fool proof.
