Well, Doug, fir one thing, there haven't been to many elections like this one. The camps are well polarized and the campaigne and all the advertising in the world isn't going to give anyone a big "bump" in the polls... The repub spin folks said they expected a 12 to 14 point bump. They were lieing thru their teeth. With such a polarized electorate had that occured you would have had repub pollster jumping out of 6th floor windows. I mean, lets get real here...

Plus, polls really don't mean much. Even the election, given the crap the repubs pulled in Florida (and elsewhere) is flawed...

Buit really, this oisn't what this thread is about and has wandered well off course...

Now, I am kinda curious as to how Salima is going to vote given her mistrust of John Edwards... For Bush?

As fir me, I think it was most unfortunate of Kerry to make such a pronouncment as it does conger up images of Nixon. Ahhhhh, not that I'm planning on voting for him anyway. But it wasn't a real smart move. He could outlined a plan that included a Middle East Peace Summit. He could have spoke about the Saudi Peace Proposal. He could have listed the allied countries that Bush has pissed off that he was going to visit in his first 90 days in office. He could have announced that he would phase the troops out of Iraq over a 6 month period. He could have said a lot of things other than "I'Ve got a secret".
