So Gunslinger what's that say about Bush then that he's basically be dead even then with someone who is such a loser like Kerry?
If Bush can't garner enough support to put away a nobody like Kerry then what's that say about Bush?
I'll make sure I put 'Ranger Boy' on the back of my shirt come PT test day. It's the only view you'll ever see.

I agree. This country is very divided. To me, the means we just have very very crappy candidates for President.
The ones who would win in a landslide (McCain, Powell) refuse to run.

Still a long way to go, but it has gotten increasingly interesting.
There is an important message behind the closing of the gap, though. It happened after a debate on foreign policy, supposedly Bush's strong suit. This was supposed to be our President's domain and he got his butt whipped.
It will be very interesting to see how he pans out in a debate on economic policy, where in my opinion Kerry should be able to pick Bush apart.
I don't predict anything for the next debate, but it will be interesting.
Gunslinger I know who you are.

Powell, mabye not a landslide but it wouldn't be 49% to 49% either.
McCain in a runaway!! For sure!

Nope. A black man who endorses some liberal ideas dressed up as a republican? Nah. He's never really had to answer to the public regarding what he really believes. When he does so, he will be much more controversial, and much less popular.Quote:

McCain/Powell would make a hell of a ticket.
I think it's close in terms of nationwide voters, but elecorally-speaking (is that a word?) I think Bush has the edge. We saw this last time, and we could very easily see a repeat. Unfortunately, the American public either doesn't care or doesn't understand the electoral college, so we still go by the nationwide polls.

Not really newsworthy except that Kerry couldn't get within 5 percentage points of Bush since this thing began.
Now after one debate, he's even. Ever wonder why? People wanted a clear explination from their president why we are in Iraq. They didn't get it.
Bush blew a MAJOR opportunity to close out this election and he couldn't.
Water is wet, the sky is blue and Bush may very well lose this election.
I think President Bush may have stumbled on purpose on this first debate, give Kerry a false sense of security for the next round. In 1984 President Reagan didn't do well at all in his first debate against Mondale, the 2nd debate it was a total K/O. So as President Reagan used to say "It ain't over until the fat lady sings.." I wouldn't give up on a Bush victory or expect a Kerry victory just yet.
I look forward to the Cheney-Edwards debate tomorrow night. I think Edwards may need reconstructive surgery after Cheney is done ripping him...
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not true Ranger boy. Kerry was even with Bush before the Democratic Convention. He then took a slight lead after said convention due to the 'convention bounce'. Bush took a lead after the Republican convention (again bounce related) that had been getting smaller even before the debates began.Quote:

The fact that he has gotten back to even means nothing.
