CosmicBills Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 And now Colorado, Minn and Wisconson have the early numbers favoring Bush. If he takes all three of those it could proove me wrong. Mind you, even though I think Kerry will win, I am in no way a political scientist. I am more like an arm-chair political enthusiast...and I can't spell.

Sound reasoning...just wrong, apparently.

swede316 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Hmmm...Maybe the Republican electorate listened to the 800 emails I have gotten and I'm the rest of them had from Bush to get 5 others to vote for him? I got 2 more so I did my part somewhat.

High voter turnout didn't phase me because if you listen to the W campaign - they CLEARLY pulled out all stops on the GOTV. For example, I believe this is for PA, they contacted 300k in 3 months in 2000. This year they contacted 1.6M in 72 friggin' hours.... They may lose Pa, but the ground game for W has been fuggin' impressive.
