| #5 The polls are largely meaningless. Most of the moderates and the fence-sitters will make up their minds during the last two days before the election, and it will come down to one and only one question: Are we at war? If Kerry were other than a golddigger and actor who plays a presidential candidate on TV, he'd apologize to all the vets and knock the war issue off the table, as follows: "I agree with the president on Iraq, and I renounce Michael Moore and the other conspiracy-mongers in my party. Now let's talk about health care and jobs...." |

| #4 I wish there really were accurate, highly "grained" polling data capable of telling the long-term effects of Zell Miller's speech. One thing you have to consider: Bush hasn't really been _running_ before now; he's been spending the last eight or so months taking punches without punching back. |

| #3 Interesting angle, Don. I hadn't thought about that. It's frightening, if it's true. |

| #2 I doubt these numbers were generated by the convention. What has changed is that some in the MSM are beginning to understand that if they were caught cooking the books/poll numbers through election day they would basically end their involvement in the American political process for a painful period of time. The big jump in poll numbers was when Fox out pulled any other major network covering the convention. When those numbers appeared, the stockholders and paying sponsors were sure to have paid attention. Lie and destroy your business. |
