What's wrong with Bush? His 11 point bump has vanished!
Wow...his campaign must be in dissary... I'd say he's got less than a week to get it together or it's over. I think he needs a shake-up in his staff. His message is wobbly and needs more clarity. Awol charges, etc are hurting him. He must talk more about Iraq. Pictures of him chopping wood are bad...he should be playing basketball or something.

Fuck,....what should we do?

1. Yep! It's over for Bush.
If they don't get it together in the next 10 days, that's all she wrote... :)

3. actually I read that Rasmussen claimed
that the original "bump" was misleading because the polls were heavily Republican. Once the stats were adjusted for party, (that is, the party of lies), the ACTUAL, REAL, "bump" was statistically non-existant.

That convention last week was a major fuck-up. Pleased their lunatic base and scared everyone else.

7. 11 point bump was fake.
Fake news meant to imprint a Bush lead into peoples minds. 11 point lead on front page yesterday. Retraction/corrections buried on A27 today.

However, now when select polls showing Bush having a 2 or 3 point lead in minor areas will be seen by news browsers as more "Bush leading" stories.

14. It was fake
and it was printed and reported by folks who had no idea how this would hurt them. Will Safire trumpeted this the other day like it was the end for Kerry... LOL... Damn Will, it's gone 4 days after you reported it.... So what are you gonna say now Will?

11. William Safire quoted the "11 point bounce" in the article which
was printed in today's (9/8/2004) Akron Beacon Journal (usually one day after original publication).
