1. What pollsters aren't taking into account
is the fact that the only sure thing about politics is that it's the people with axes to grind that make sure they get to the ballot box. I guarantee you us Democrats have a much more compelling reason to get out and vote than those Republicans do. That ALONE will be worth at least 2% to Kerry.

2. I think that
the likely voters wont exactly fit the mold this year and turnout is going to be much different and a little higher than past elections.

It is my hope that this will help Kerry out.

4. Not just F 9/11 impacting the young voters
MTV and VH1 have been encourging voting for months now. The ads even deal with the reasons most youth don't vote. It's really "in their face."

VH1 has a show called "Un-illistrated". I think I have spelled that correctly. It's a carton show with a bunch of skits. Mostly political.

They are hearing rummors of the draft. What age will be most effected?

And YES this group will be under polled. This group tends to live with parents, with other youngesters in apartments, in dorms, etc. Or no phone at all.

This groups first president they can really remember totaly is President Clinton who was impeached over lying about a BJ. And they don't understand why Bush's now known LIES about Iraq and this war is't getting Bush impeached. The lies about a BJ didn't hurt anyone they knew. The lies Bush told got people they know killed.

It's going to be hard to call this election for Bush by the polls weeks in advance. However, the opposite is true when it comes for Kerry. The majority of those not being polled will be poor and/or young. Those less likely polled. More likely to vote Kerry not Bush.
