Presidential Election Preview [5/16/04]

NO FLAMING EACH OTHER DO NOT FLAME PEOPLE FOR HOW THEY ARE VOTING

Approximately six months until the general US elections for President of the United States of America. We have CNN polls, we have Fox news polls, well, now we are going to have an AO poll.

I can predict who the winner will be already.

[NJPaint]

oh? Enlighten us :) Predictions in this format are nice because we will have data to prove you correct, or totally wrong (not that it matters anyways )

I honestly think that Kerry will pull through, though I should have added the option that if Nader didn't run you would vote for kerry (just for arguement sake)

[Albinonewt]

Speaking of the polls I'm getting sick of them. For the past 3 months we've had at least one poll EVERY WEEK! People, let's get serious. The results in Feb. are meaningless and I'm just tired of the constant polling.

But, as far as Kerry's chances. He's toast. He's probably a worse candidate then Dole was, and that's quite the accomplishment. The only thing he's got going for him is Bush's campaign is almost as stupid as they are.

Do all of you Bush supporters honestly think that if the war keeps going that way its going (badly) Bush is going to have a snowballs chance in hell of winning? Last I saw his approval rating was around 45%, and it keeps dropping. This latest scandal sure seems to be hurting the current administration's chance of winning. Spurt whatever reasons you will in support of Bushy, but the fact is, no matter how justified you think the war in Iraq is, it is not going well by any stretch of the imagination. Without all the latest developments, I think Bush would have probably won. Unless he's planning on buying the election (my opinion) again...

I don't think Kerry could possibly be any worse on foreign matters than Bush. Sure, Bush has brought our economy back to a decent standing, but his foreign policy is terrible, IMHO. Bush supporters, in your America, does foreign policy not matter as long as matters on the homefront are good? I am just curious...

After Saddam was captured I thought, damn Bush has this election won.

But now, I am really not sure who will pull through.

I can tell you though its going to be a very tight race.

i am an extreme liberal, but im going to lie to myself and say that kerry will win. its extremely hard to beat an incumbent in an election, especially since bush has the entire country by the balls with his exageration of terrorist threats. hes also aiming his campiagn ads at swing voters and stupid people, and they're the biggest threat to kerry. i must congradulate bush though, hes running an effective, but fake, ad campiagn that seems to be working. too bad stupid people get to vote...i wish they would put in place a test that you must take before you register to vote to see if you are smart enough to vote. that would be great.

Exageration of the terrorist threat?!?!?

Are you nuts? 9/11 really did happen. Terrorists are still trying to kill Americans anywhere they can. The recent attacks in Spain, Saudi Arabia, and the beheading of N. Berg show that terrorism is alive and kicking. It can not be stressed enough. How many terror cells have already been broken up here in the states?

So you are for an intelligence test prior to voting? I guess that would put you in line with the KKK and the voter tests required by the Jim Crow laws during segregation. I love letting elitest types make fools of themselves. If a conservative suggested the test, he would be a racist, so I guess what is good for the goose is good for the gander, eh?

[NJPaint]

Okay, let me make a rule for this thread, NO FLAMING AND NO FIGHTING ABOUT POLITICS!!! WE DON'T NEED THIS CLOSED!!! you can justify why you are voting what you do, but don't get this closed.

[painTech]

i'd vote kerry, just because hes not bush.

aout that terrorism thing, put your money on something cheaper, yet save more lives. like aids, or not smoking.

[RoadDawg]

Still not sure on who I'm voting for. At the moment Kerry has my attention and Bush seems to be predictable. If Bush would spend more money showing what he has done for the country rather then attacking Kerry and making it look like he's voted against/for something Bush is opposed to 5 times, when in fact it's only 1 vote. I'm yet to see Kerry ads but Bush ad's are always on. Terrorism is very real. I however feel that it's a no win war. It's just gonna continue and continue. Here is how Bush's speech's sound 6 or 7 times out of 10 that I've heard/seen. Terrorist, terrorist, 9/11, 9/11, Outlaw same sex marriages, and God Bless America.
