#1 That's the kind of bounce a watermelon gets when it's dropped from a ten-story building.

Polls aside, Kerry has also given us just in the last week

1- The Teletubby photo (thank you NASA: if you guys want to send a manned flight to Alpha Centauri I'm with you);

2- The faceoff with a serving Marine sergeant trying to eat his lunch and instead having Lurch's finger shoved at him;

3- The sultry look at Edwards (Ingrid Bergman didn't do any better in Casablanca);

4- The Theresa won't kiss him photo; and last but not the least

5- The You Call That A Salute photo.

I'm back to thinking that Rove has someone on the inside.

#2 As well as the negative bounce in the opinion polls, Kerry's negative bounce in the election betting at www.intrade.com has now reached four points; Bush shares are selling higher than they have in several weeks.

"I'm back to thinking that Rove has someone on the inside."

Maybe a secret operative named William Jefferson Clinton?

#3 I'm back to thinking that Rove has someone on the inside. Or perhaps, Matt, that insider is a Clinton plant to assure a clear field for her 2008 aspirations. Then again maybe there's no need at all for dirty tricks when an arrogant,lying asshole like Kerry is running.

#4 Sorry, Dave, I shudda hit 'refresh' before posting. But, it shows at least two of us think that way.

#5 Heh. Try as I might to find an upside for the Clintons in a Kerry victory, I see none. Which tells me he isn't going to be allowed to win.

#6 Polling via phone cannot be valid within 10 percent. My Goldie Hatifield told me that and I believe it. :) He's purdy quick.

Tell me why I'm wrong and show me numbers.

#7 I mean Jeeeezuuuus what would a pollster do with our friend M4D?

LOL! Think of Mr Mucky in a focus group! LOL! Guns! Babes! And KFC for lunch. Hmmmmm. See what I mean? Life is too weird now to package.

#8 The methodology discontinuity hypothesis looks stronger. I noticed that Scot Rasmussen, who uses the same method and same sampling each day (as I recall he uses auto dial machines and calls 300 people each day - my memory might be wrong on this)

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Presidential_Tracking_Poll.htm

has no discontinuity. His polls show Kerry picking up about 1 to 2 points during the Convention period.

#9 democrats have an "admiration society", where they go around giving each other awards and blowjobs and stuff.....but outside of that, I think everyone else says FUCK 'EM & FEED 'EM FISH HEADS.

If the democrats didn't have the media to trumpet their ~~lies~~ message...they'd cease to exist as a party.

#10 Shipman, I think you nailed an important concept:
"Life is too weird now to package."
I can only add, ..."or to poll."
You are the Hunter S. Thompson of RB!
