Pollster John Zogby surprised the political world back in April with a long-range prediction that John Kerry would defeat George W. Bush for president. On Monday this week, Zogby told me, he changed his mind. He now thinks the president is more likely to be re-elected because he has reinforced support from his base, including married white women.


you go girl! :D

AND again last night, Zogby said he predicts a Kerry win.

I think the only flip flop here is on Rip's feet.

Heck, you're the only one that's tossed up a link so far.  The rest is:

"Hanoi John called me last night and told me he was going to win."

He said last night on the Daily show he thinks Kerry will win but he said he really didn't know for sure.

He said the challenger almost always gets a surge right before the election but then again Bush is still ahead by almost the margin for error so he isn't sure.

Translation: He wants Kerry to win but he doesn't have the numbers to back it up.

Kick that spin machine in high gear! He predicted Kerry, deal with it.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

I don't think he has a big enough lead.  Every major city in this country is going to have a 115% turnout for the Democrats (they always do) , plus the 'Mexican' vote in the Southwest.

Oh, and I think the Governor of Ohio said he as a couple of counites with more registered voters than adult citizens living  there.

You need at least a 5-6% lead at the start  to beat that or you're 'toast'.  

It's going to be a long night on Tuesday.....

:D
