    Why is the media saying it's close when every one knows Bush will win easily?

    Ah, ratings. :)

    And if my prediction proves wrong................... Drinks on me. Just show you BigSoccer ID card at the door and drop the name "Dreamer." The Irish pub at 30th and 2nd. :)

    Now, this might get shut down like an Amish speakeasy, and I won't argue if it does.

    The rest of the board should be for analysis such as "Hm, I certainly didn't see Massacusetts going for Bush. I assume the photos of John Kerry French-kissing Derek Jeter hurt him in the suburbs." But I think there should be a thread specifically for takes that aren't any more intelligent than "SCOREBOARD, BITCH!"

    I see this as more for when the polls are closed, and states start being called - "Boo, ya! DELAWARE'S COMING HOME, BABY!" - that sort of thing. But, since the crowing has already started, I'll get this thread rolling.

    In the immortal words of Tom Tomorrow, George Bush is a wanker. Kerry's going to win, and win big. I cannot WAIT for Bush's concession speech.

    Bring it on.

    If it doesn't come today (which I think it will), it will come during the impeachment trial of 2007. One way or another, he's going to take it hard.

    Kerry over 300, baby.

    Re: Why is the media saying it's close when every one knows Bush will win easily?

    And it does increase voter turnout too. The media is increasingly an active participant in politics and no longer just an objective observer and reporter.

    Bush is leading for now.
    http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/politics/10059524.htm?1c


    But it doesn't really matter at the end of the day anyway. With the media now temporarily on his side or maybe I should say not deadly against him for now, Bush will win by a landslide.

    The media has long given up this fight and had its sight set on 2008, ever since they decided to boo down the anti-war Howard Dean, almost overnight.

    Re: Why is the media saying it's close when every one knows Bush will win easily?

    Are you insane? Do you not understand polling, statistics, and historical trends?

    The odds of Bush winning this one going away is astronomically small, since the candidates are statistically tied going into today and late undecideds trend towards breaking for the challenger.

    Besides, how can you state the media is liberal (clearly your thesis) and trying to manipulate the election for Kerry (claiming he's close, "trying" to drive up turnout), while at the same time claiming they shot down Dean (they did) months ago and already decided to support Hillary in 2008 (your thesis from another thread of yours), thus throwing in the towel on 2004?

    *head explodes*

    Did I even use the word "liberal" or the word "conservative?" All I said was "the media."

    Is liberal or conservative still the only or even a valid way to classify things nowadays? Can I even ask a few questions nowadays without fear of shrapnels from exploding heads? :)

    It's all noice. See through it please. Bush will win by a landslide.

    One good thing about being a conservative. If President Bush wins, all the liberals will move to Canada and France. If Senator Kerry wins, we don't even need to bother move, because the US will become Canada and France.

    The Regime Is Dead.

    Read the election polls thread.

    Rumsfeld -- gone.
    Darth Vader -- gone.
    The Wolfohowitzer -- gone.
    Condi The Panderer -- gone.
    And most importantly, The Boy King -- gone, dead, buried.
