Bush:  Not as close as last time.

Even if fence sitters disaprove of him - they know him.  Im betting Kerry tries to run on a ghost ticket and people wont vote for an unknown candidate unless he runs against a reincarnated Nixon.

Apparently fence sitters have historically tended to vote for new guy.  I imagine that thats because they know the old guy.

Because as bad as he is, he is not as scummy as Kerry.

I think the closer we get to Nov, the more clear just how scummy kerry is will be.

I doubt it. The Bush team already shot its load in trying to paint Kerry as a bad choice. The "flip-flopper" and the whole Vietnam thing.

It was smart to do it early, but Kerry weathered it. In fact, the more people that DO know about what's actually behind the "flip-flopping" and just how hypocritical an attack it is, the better for Kerry. Vagueness and hyperbole are friends to the Bush team. The more that's actually known, the less effective they become.

How can it get "more clear just how scummy Kerry is"? What else is there to use?

Bush. There you have it...

:)

The possible selections are....

A. Bush
B. Kerry
C. Too close to call (albiet perceived a little like fence setting)
D. Don't reply


This is a good thread if people just lay it on the line and say which one will win as opposed to political commentary.

Comment with regard to "C. Too close to call". My gut feeling tells me it's gonna be close.

The reasons Bush will win:

Strong economy, low unemployment, low interest rates, success in Iraq, strong leadership.

Bush does exactly what he says he will do.

Kerry is seen as a joke, a liar, a slimy wet fish flopping back in forth in the boat, willing to do or say anything to become President.

Seen by whom?

If that's true, yet more Americans find Kerry to be a better choice, what does that say about how they see Bush's character?

Too early for me to call. Way too much rough road ahead for either bandwagon.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
