yes and so will America

[Ripsnort]

Too early to make a prediction.(IMO)

[Wanker]

No, it's in the genes.

[Puudeli]

He propably will, but i hope not.

[midnight Target]

Rip will submit his prediction the second Wednesday in November 2004.

I think it's gonna be close, but Bush will edge Clark.

[Ripsnort]

[Edit: uncalled for, apologies

[Puudeli]

Then no.

[Udie]

Clark and Gore are the only ones that worry me, I guess Billary too.  I think he's going to win.  I say this because I think the dems are peaking too soon in the opinion polls.  But there is an awefull lot of unfounded hate for Bush so he may very well lose.

 I haven't made up my mind about clark yet though.  Most of what I've heard I haven't like, but some I have.

He will lose.  The "tax cuts that only benefitted the wealthy" will be his undoing.  

The Democrats generally are better politicians than the Republicans and have always excelled at convicing the masses  that the Republicans are responsible for their miserable lot in life.  The path of personal responsibility is tougher to trod than that of victimhood.  For example, it's much easier to persuade someone that his life sucks because those who make more money than he does aren't "paying their fair share" than it is to convince that same person that his life sucks due to the choices that he has made.  

The problem is, the "blame someone else" and "take from someone else" mentalities do not lead to making anyone's life better.  Are the lives of the poor and disenfranchised better after decades of voting Democratic (and after deacdes of living in "The Great Society")?  I think not.

So you say poor people vote democratic? And Bush will win, he has the fear factor in favor of him.

If Bush's approval rating continues on the current slide, it's far from a done deal.

Think it was Eagleburger on CNN that stated that if the election we're tomorrow, Clark would win (according to polls).

Bottom line... too soon to tell.

Yes, poor people, and particularly minorities, tend to vote Democratic.  Obviously, this is a generalization, but I think it fairly states the trends of the last 40 years.

I fear you are mistaken.  His warrior popularity has already diminished, and by the time of the election, the Ds will make sure it's all but forgotten with a new, unrelenting rendition of the "It's the economy, stupid!" refrain.
