Bush Now Ahead in WI in Third Poll-- The Big One, Gallup

A three-point lead, 48-45%, among likely voters, which was also the Rasmussen finding.

Looks like the Beltway Boys are going to have to take Wisconsin out of Kerry's column on next Saturday's show, eh?

But there's more.

He's also now tied in Pennsylvania, 47-47 (also among likelies).

“It's hard to do the Electoral College calculation and not figure that if Kerry can't win Pennsylvania, he can't win the presidency,” says G. Terry Madonna, a professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., and director of the statewide Keystone Poll.

Dat's why they calls it the Keystone State. Kerry can't win without either Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, and he needs both to have a realistic chance of winning.

(Bush is narrowly behind among registered voters in both states, but who cares?)


Thumb's Up, Buddy!

Update: Another poll shows Bush narrowly ahead in must-win Florida, 48-46.

I can't believe this. Sully's out of the hammock, and Ace hasn't blogged a word about it!

C'mon, Ace! What do you say to Sully signing onto the "Swifties-are-part-of-a-Karl-Rove-smear-campaign" take on things? Has Sully joined the Michael Moore tinfoil hat brigade?

We want to know, dammit!

Posted by: SWLiP on August 30, 2004 02:58 PM

I called him gaseous and vapid in the comments.

I don't know what to say. He's a kneejerk liberal Kerry partisan; there are millions of such people. Why should I give him any special attention?*

* This is code for "I can't think of anything to say" and/or "Sullivan really bores me at this point."

Posted by: ace on August 30, 2004 03:04 PM

I find AS to be very MEGO (my eyes glaze over).

As I've mentioned before, I've always had this problem with him. He's like -- and I don't mean this as a gay dig -- one of those women fiction writers who just don't interest me. It's too much gassy, gauzy emotionality and not enough meat/crunchiness/logical argumentation.

I had that problem when he was "on our side," by the way. I never really got why conservatives trumpeted him as so "important." He was defintely shrill and emotional (first for the war, then against it), but never particularly important, interesting, or compelling.

I'll try to think of something to say, though.

But basically, I've said everything one can conceivably say about Sullivan already.

Posted by: ace on August 30, 2004 03:10 PM

How about a Sully top-10 "You know he's out of the hammock when..."

Posted by: Mark on August 30, 2004 03:16 PM

Okay, the demand is too strong to be ignored. I will be doing an AS Top Ten. I think it's going to be "Top Ten Things Which are Important to Andrew Sullivan." I've got four or five so far.

Posted by: ace on August 30, 2004 03:32 PM

Four or five--besides gay marriage?

Good snicker at the women fiction writers' analogy. Why would you waste time reading the nexst installment of Sully's Anne McCaffrey-esque "Bareback Dragonriders of Pern", when VDH is serving up some tasty good Fritz Leiber every week?

Posted by: See-Dubya on August 30, 2004 03:41 PM

I remember while reading Sully's Kerry endorsement, the song "Falling in Love Again," kept going through my head.

Yeah, I don't want to get into the gay digs, either, but his sudden flurry of pro-Kerry posts made me think of a neurotic woman in a Woody Allen movie trying to convince herself that she really was in love with the one-armed dentist she was about to marry. (Not that Woody Allen ever actually made a movie with such a scene or such a character; it just seemed that, if he did, Sully's pro-Kerry posts would have fit right in.)

Being of Greek ancestry, I have to admit that the past few weeks have been great for me...the Olympics were successfully completed. People were reminding of such landmark battles in early western civilization like Thermopylae and Marathon. The names of great statesmen and scholars like Pericles, Themosticles, Plato and Aristotle were being mentioned on a daily basis. Then I see Dukakis riding a tank and remember that all those great accomplishments of the ancient Greeks happened a long, long, lonnnnng time ago...

Thanks for bringing me back to my senses Ace.

Holy FUCK can we stop with the poll news? Scratch that... polls are NOT news. Please stop with the polls every five fucking seconds. Kerist.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
