SDS Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 After all, Kerry's "8-point" margin was the counter argument to my posting that Kerry was underperforming Gore. I am currently commisioning NASA to determine if 51-49=8 as we speak... I will go back to reading my unobjective, uninformative, biased, worthless political rags who somehow managed to correctly report every event as it unfolded last last night. It's not to late to visit: http://jaycost.blogspot.com/ and read the reports this guy gave throughout the past few days. A partisan with love of the truth... How novel.

The exit polling was the biggest loser in the whole election. How can they EVER be referenced again by the networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 22nd amendment has passed, Carter is the only "new" President (in other words, one who wasn't running as the former VP, like Bush, Ford) who has failed to be re-elected. "The devil you know..." plays a lot into these campaigns. I would argue that Kerry outperformed Gore, as Kerry didn't have the power of the incumbency on his side.

EZC-Boston Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Good catch I totally missed this. I can't believe it is closer than Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern was whether he was getting a higher % of votes from state to state than Gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, and I will type this slowly, the picture looked bleak for Kerry.... Are you ok with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could fool people into believing the US landed on the moon then they should have no problem getting people to believe a simple math equation.

I should have gone back and re-read your original post in the morning rather than work from the recollection of what I thought you were saying when I was reading it blurry-eyed at 1:30 am. I'll go back to the Wall now, where using meaningless stats to indicate how a player is doing better/worse than last year is the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Wow - 122,000. Even I didn't think we'd get it that close...especially after I saw that the Dems widened the registration gap another 100K since 2000. And it looks like Tom Corbett pulled out the AG race, too? My congrats to everybody at the state committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
