Reply #54: If they are repukes, are they 'swing'??? [View All]

I think of swing voters as more or less apolitical. They vote for whom they LIKE, true enough, but I am not coinvinced that by next November they will still like bush all that much, especially if the quagmire in Iraq is going on as it is now.

...they are not going to vote for a Dem, no matter how much we pretend otherwise. Again, I really don't think that these voters think along that line. They typically vote for the PERSON, rather than the party -- otherwise they would not be 'swing' voters. I can't see any reason right now, to predict that Clark would lose the general election; imagine how pathetic Junior would look, next to the General! And such visuals really MATTER to the genuine swing voter.
