Newsweek Poll: Kerry 47% Bush 44% Und 6% GOP Buttboy Nader 3%

[Beloved Citizen]

Without Rotten Ralph in the running Kerry/Edwards leads Bush/Cheney 51% to 45%. This suggests to everyone but the most deluded of Kool-Aid drinkers that Traitor Nader significantly hurts the anti-Bush movement in any state he appears on the ballot. It is no wonder that Nader is receiving aid and comfort from the GOP in anyway they can shovel it to him.

1. Don't hold back. Tell us how you feel about Nader.

:)

2. Yes Nader is a traitor to his own values unless all he values is his ego

3. How come when Bush has extra points on Kerry, he's ahead but

when Kerry is LEADING over Bush, it's *tied*.
I'm writing to complain about that headline. If it's statistically insignificant over a few points, then they need to stop pumping up Bush's numbers if he's over.

[Rose Siding]

5. They are consistent with that, aren't they?

It's either "slight lead" or "statistically tied" but if Bush is ahead, we get something like "Bush Pulls Ahead" or "Kerry fails to gain any traction"

4. I think Kerry is ahead by more... I wish we had faith in the media....

but that is earned..and they have been anything but honest and fair

9. I kinda liked it myself.

Your mileage may vary.

10. Not a suprise

[Liberal Veteran]

11. Let's just say that Nader has stoked my antipathy for him lately.

I just have this thing about hypocrites.

16. Heaping abuse on Nader

...is all the rage these days.

You might have fallen behind the curve here.

20. Not into fads

have a ball.

[Beloved Citizen]

21. Or the notion of people facing the consequences of their actions

Blame-free Americans, brought to you by George W Bush and Ralph Nader.

22. ""If it's bad, it must be somebody else's fault."

Sounds like some Dems battlecry.

24. That's how I feel when you decry racism on one forum

and cheer it on in another.

[ParisFrance]

7. hmmmmmmm

Normally I would say he should still run for he has every right to run , but because we are on the verge of a Neo Nazis administration I fail to see how Nader will risk this for his own vanity.

[Droopy]

12. I don't see how anyone can be undecided about this

Bush has got to be the most polarizing president we've ever had.

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Maybe they polled a few comatose people?

Or alzheimer's patients?

That's all I can figure.

[Droopy]

15. That must be it

If not, then the undecided have been living with their heads stuck in the sand the past three years.

17. GOP Buttboy? I thought Nader was an independent Turd Party candidate.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Speaking of Which...

Since Nader isn't going to be the Green Nominee, do we have any solid data on how many states there are that he's going to be actually on the ballot? Because if he can't get on the ballot, that 3% or 6% or whatever becomes totally meaningless, obviously. In which case, one wonders why they're bothering to include him in the polling, without including, say, Lyndon LaRouche, or Harry Browne, or Gallagher, or some other fringe person who isn't relevant to the actual numbers of the race.

[NNadir]

19. Buttboy? Forkboy? Turd Party Candidate? I love it here. eom

[Deja Q]

23. Huh? Shouldn't that be 50%/44%? 51%/45% sounds a bit off...

Seems like the Undecided would be a better group to go after anyway. :shrug:
