[karlrschneider]

4. HAHA......what you said!

:D

[Fescue4u]

5. I think so to

But I still dont like it

[Township75]

2. That has to be BS...

I will put money down that NJ, MN and WI go Blue this election. I can't believe they would turn.

I don't believe these polls account for the massive left wing turnout that will be present in Nov, just like they didn't in 2k.

3. Possible Mutiny at Fort Dix?

Strains Felt By Guard Unit on Eve Of War Duty

FORT DIX, N.J. -- The 635 soldiers of a battalion of the South Carolina National Guard scheduled to depart Sunday for a year or more in Iraq have spent their off-duty hours under a disciplinary lockdown in their barracks for the past two weeks.

The trouble began Labor Day weekend, when 13 members of the 1st Battalion of the 178th Field Artillery Regiment went AWOL, mainly to see their families again before shipping out. Then there was an ugly confrontation between members of the battalion's Alpha and Charlie batteries -- the term artillery units use instead of "companies" -- that threatened to turn into a brawl involving three dozen soldiers, and required the base police to intervene.

That prompted a barracks inspection that uncovered alcohol, resulting in the lockdown that kept soldiers in their rooms except for drills, barred even from stepping outside for a smoke, a restriction that continued with some exceptions until Sunday's scheduled deployment.

The battalion's rough-and-tumble experience at a base just off the New Jersey Turnpike reflects many of the biggest challenges, strains and stresses confronting the Guard and Reserve soldiers increasingly relied on to fight a war 7,000 miles away.

7. Oh, man...that is totally FUBAR.

I desperately want to be wrong, but I'm thinking a lot of these poor guys are gonna come back in a somewhat dead condition. GOD DAMN YOU, BUSH! :grr: :grr: :grr:

14. Well they don't want to go

and they have no cohesion...so yeah, you're probably right.

[featherman]

6. New Jersey is fine

Bad poll

[theKnave]

8. Yeah

It doesn't matter what is said by Zogby, Gallup, Rassmussen or whomever. The poll that matters is on Nov 2. And I'm not talking about exit polls.

They are not counting the 18 to 24 year olds

10. horseshit

I'm from NJ...i've seen a total of 2 bush bumperstickers in the last 3 months, one of them on the back of a stop sign near my house. No one here likes that moran

[Cha]

16. Take it down!

:)

[TrustingDog]

11. Golan Cipel's name comes up whenever I hear NJ lately...

whatever happened to that piece of excrement?

[foo_bar]

12. the campaign's focused on blue-leaning red states: CO, WV, NV, MO, AR, OH

as it loses red-leaning blue states (with Dean delegations): IA, WI, NJ, NH.

[Cha]

17. What are you saying about Dean Delegates?

[foo_bar]

18. I'm saying they represent potential constituencies

opposed at times to the party line on Iraq, gays, guns, and butter.

[cindyw]

13. My problem with electoral vote.com is that they quote republican pollsters

By that I do not mean republican in a Gallup, WSJ kind of way, I mean actual Republican pollsters, like Strategic Vision. It is these polls that have Wisconsin and Iowa going Bush. As for New Jersey, it's crap. Even the republican polling firm has Kerry up.

My concerns lie in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

15. i'm a joisey gal and it is bullshit

[Lefty48197]

19. Maybe the gun nuts in NJ are freeping the polls?
