Poll question: How many Republicans will SECRETLY vote for Kerry?
I was just wondering if many swing voters whom voted for * in 2000 will not vote for him again BUT won't admit it?

1. I can read that type of republican quite well. They are the one's
who have been directly hurt by Bush's blunders and insensitivities. I would bet that at least 5 million Republicans with gay family members will not vote for Mr. Bush this fall. That is why Chaney is Flip Flopping to appear like a easy going gay moderate, just like he did in 2000. He is not sincer.

2. Husbands and wives will lie to each other and say they are voting Bush
and both pull the lever for Kerry.

4. Here are the 2000 exit polls
Party Identification All Gore Bush Buchanan Nader
Democrat 39 % 86 % 11 % 0 % 2 %
Republican 35 % 8 % 91 % 0 % 1 %
Independent 27 % 45 % 47 % 1 % 6 %

What I would expect is a smaller defection among dems this time. The party is definetely more united. Assume a slightly higher number of republicans defecting. So, let's just switch the numbers.

Also expect Kerry to win among independants. Many polls I've seen has Kerry beating Bush by 7-10 points among independants.
