RIGHT WING WEBSITE SITES ARTICLE THAT KERRY MAY WIN
Those losers at Newsmax begrudgingly site an AP article that shows democrats ahead in every area that people care about. I like how they keep saying that Kerry and Bush are "virtually tied" when Kerry is really ahead. HA! The link contains the full article. I've cited certain passages below. Enjoy!

Dems Fair Well in Latest Poll
NewsMax Wires
Wednesday, July 21, 2004
NANTUCKET, Mass. - John Kerry is heading to his party’s national convention with Democrats faring better with the public on both domestic and international issues, according to a poll released Wednesday. But Kerry remains locked in a tie in the presidential race.


. . .


Despite the Democrats’ strong position, Kerry and running mate John Edwards remain in a tie with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Kerry and Edwards are at 46 percent, Bush and Cheney at 44 percent, and Ralph Nader and Peter Camejo at 3 percent.

The best news for Bush and the Republicans is that the GOP remains united behind the president.


. . . Democrats are in a commanding position on the public’s preference on specific issues:


Leading Republicans by 50-23 on which party is more trusted to handle health care.

Leading Republicans by 45-29 on handling education, a traditional Democratic issue that Republicans neutralized early in Bush’s term. Leading Republicans by 46-34 on handling the economy.

Tied with Republicans on handling of Iraq.

Tied with Republicans on handling foreign policy.

Tailing Republicans 45-30 on handling the campaign against terrorism.
“Kerry’s party has improved its image on just about all key issues,” Kohut said. “And rank-and-file Democrats are increasingly unified and optimistic about their chances in November.”

The poll of 2,009 adults, including 1,568 registered voters, was taken July 8-18 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, slightly higher for registered voters.

2. Don't get overconfident.
I've heard many right wingers say they WANT to be behind at this point. They want their base to fear they are behind, and thus work harder to ensure a win. To them this is actually the RIGHT time to be behind, so that they can reach a peak on election day, which is the only day that matters.

Get this into every single skull you can reach. Kerry has NOT won until he is taking the oath of office on the Capital steps. Even then you can be sure there will be plans hatching to hamstring every inch of his administration.

3. Overconfident - NEVER
I just love it when I see those freepers panic. I also am amused that they "want to be benind right now." Yeah, like when Pee Wee Herman fell off of his bike and said "I meant to do that." They are in full panic. I will certainly not rest until that loser is kicked out of office. But I love seeing a freeper squirm. :evilgrin:

5. I absolutely agree with you.
From the attitudes I'm seeing from a lot of DU'ers, you would think Kerry had already won the election. That is an extremely dangerous trap for us to be falling into.

I don't give a shit how far ahead we are right now, or even in October for that matter. We need to be working our asses off as if Kerry was 10 points behind, and we also need to assume that the GOP will be doing the same thing.
