He botched the war on terror, as these politically motivated alerts demonstrate.

Um. Excuse me? They were politically motivated to help Kerry?

Why should someone in Idahoâs opinion count more than mine simply because I always choose to live in major metropolitan areas???

That's what the House of Reps. is for. At any rate, my vote is meaningless because I live in a major metropolitan area and vote Republican. It all balances out in the end

C.J. is on it. This is good news, and it's going to get better. It's really inconceivable that the neo-cons and Rovites expect a bounce from the convention. We ex-Reagan Democrats are sitting back and waiting. But you know the more Bush is seen, the more he's exposed. He's weak on jobs, education and he botched the war on terror, as these politically motivated alerts demonstrate. After both conventions are done, and if Bush risks a debate with Kerry, the independents and the undecideds will step back, access the last four years and they'll go Kerry-Edwards.

I'm not sure you can easily put Arizona in the Bush column. They did elect a Democrat as governor. And I think it's very difficult for Bush to win Pennsylvania. Even though the western part is conservative, they've suffered a ton of job losses recently which might make them stay home or vote Dem. Since I don't think Bush won Floriday in 2000, I doubt that he'll win it in 2004 if the votes are counted. Regardless of the horse race, does anyone else have a problem with the fact that one vote does not mean one vote? Why should someone in Idaho's opinion count more than mine simply because I always choose to live in major metropolitan areas???

Electoral Vote Fraud
Matthew Yglesias and James Joyner both have pretty good posts today on Pres. Bush's hopes of winning the all-important Electoral College vote. Matthew says:If you look at the latest state by state numbers, Kerry's actually doing well enough that he...

Electoral Hoo-Ha

Bush's Biggest Problem
This has to be the funniest comment I've ever read: Bushâs biggest problem: being popular in very unpopulated states. That map is just astonishing. If Kerry wins, itâll be the coasts that give it to him. If you looked up...

Kerry had such a minimal convention bounce I give the edge to Bush now. That may be 20th Century thinking, though. And maybe the Repub convention will be as big a turnoff as the Dem convention was, and Bush's own bounce will be minimal. But you'd think the challenger needs to be up by a lot more while the incumbent's powder is still dry.
