1. That just made my weekend

[LittleApple81]

3. And the fact that earliear (around 1 p.m.) Hemmer on CNN said

that Bush is in trouble also helped.
But another "comentator" with him said that the only hope for Bush is if "something happens..." Sounded ominous.

14. Thats exactly what Bush needs

Talking to a fellow Dem last night, I told him Bush needs one of two things to win this eleciton. 1-Produce Osama Bin Laden 10-14 days before election day or 2-A massive terrorist attack in this country.

That's what prevents me from gettning too excited about these polls. He could easily come up with one or both of those. They will do absolutely anything to retain power, including murdering their own citizens if that's what it takes.

17. OBL is tiny piece of mercury that the Bu$h hammer

scattered with their abundant fuck-ups. I really don't see how catching OBL makes us one iota safer. This lie needs to be defused before it becomes a possibility.

[RummyTheDummy]

19. Increasingly I think you're right

While that may pull some back into the demon fold of BushCo., some might walk into the booth on election day and think "Gee, I really didn't like Bush that much to begin with, now that we got Bin Laden, we don't need him anymore".

2. Beautiful, lovely, wonderful...

I see America is getting to know John Kerry!

[Zynx]

4. And half of the poll was before Kerry's speech.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

5. HOT DAMN!

Bye Bush

:hi:

[WI_DEM]

6. only a four point bounce in a three way race and 2-point in a

two man race. Oh well, I guess with the electorate so evenly divided we can't expect a big bounce.

[Zynx]

7. How much higher than 52% could Kerry be?

He didn't have much room to expand.

[59millionmorons]

8. Remember something

On Thursday Before Kerry speech it was Kerry 49-47.
On Friday after speech it was 54-41.

This is an average of both days. So today it could be 55-40.

[Zynx]

9. Yeah. For the two day average that's great.

[Sparkly]

13. Look at the gain in the spread

not just Kerry's gain by itself.

This is all looking VERY good!!! :D

[qanda]

15. That's the same thing somebody else said...

10. -Environment Kerry(59% vs. 29%)

That one right there should be enough for any "undecided" voter. You like to breathe? Ya like water that you can actually drink? How about trees, no they're not natures terrorists.

11. Hummer...I mean, Hemmer said that

Bush is in trouble? Really?

Did he take off the fake glasses in a thoughtful pose...or did he say it with conviction and demeanor.

Cafferty takes off his glasses 'upon reflection'. That putz...

Don't get me started...

[Frances]

12. Thanks for the link

[Deja Q]

16. Awesome news, thx!

Who's the 9% who says America's image has IMPROVED?! :crazy:

[Reciprocity]

18. We need to bounce on this stem cell research.

Stem cell research Kerry (53% vs. 26%), the poll shows.

[BenDavid]

20. I am on the record,

here today July 31st, 2004 in stating that John Kerry will be the next President of the United States and he will receive 378 Electoral votes. I thank you.

[shawmut]

21. Sixty-seven percent of registered voters say Kerry is personally likable

More people like Kerry than Bush. I thought people didn't like Kerry? I thought that was one of his biggest problems?


What's happening Rove, FAUX and limp balls? Your propaganda ain't working! Millions of dollars spent and endless hours of bashing Kerry on the airwaves have all been for nothing! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[lpbk2713]

22. Like father like son, one term and he's done..... I love it.

I have no doubt that Shit-for-Brains will have his ass handed to him in November in the most embarrassing defeat ever. The only votes he will get will be from the hard-core pukers who would vote for anyone or anything the RNC would run. This asshole hasn't done anything right since he's been in office and he's not bright enough to be left alone by himself. He has done so much harm to America and its interests that it will take years to make it right again.

23. "Calling Karl Rove, time to hit the panic button."

Uh...be carful what you ask for.
