| Shock: Kerry Admits French and German Troops in Iraq "Unlikely" »
October 06, 2004
Even After Debate, New Jersey Is Still a Toss-UpKerry leads 49-46, inside the MoE (although barely so). Who slapped New Jersey with the Smart Stick? Is there any chance of similarly slapping Michigan? posted by Ace at 01:07 PM

Michigan is THE toughest nut...AFL-CIO's strongest state...AFSCME very strong here too...and NEA...and on and on and on... Bush better be ahead by 5-7 points on election day or they're gonna steal it. Posted by: superhawk on October 6, 2004 02:13 PM
As a wolverine, I have to believe that if New Jersey can be that close, there's no reason Michigan can't be either. haven't seen any recent polls, but Rassmussen had it tied on the 30th... Posted by: marc on October 6, 2004 02:23 PM
Analysis (I'm being generous to myself with this description) of Michigan over at my blog; scroll down a bit and leave a comment if you like Otherwise, Instapundit already linked it but everyone should read ejectejecteject.com No offense Ace but it's the best posting I've ever read. EVER. Posted by: Birkel on October 6, 2004 02:34 PM
Bill at ejecteject...excellent rant. Thanks for the tip, Birkel! Articulated the central issues of strategy in the WoT and Iraq in a way the Bushies can't or won't. Give Bill a White House speechwriter's job if there is a 2nd Term. While the Jersey vote is still close, Bush's lead continues to shrink as more post-debate polls come out, from around 7 points down to 1.5 in the past 7 days. Pennsylvania is now shifted from toss-up to leaning Kerry. Ohio and Iowa have moved from leaning Bush to toss-up. Maine is back with Kerry, as is New Mexico. If Bush has Binnie stashed in Crawford, now might be a good time to haul him out. Or finally launch the battle to wipe out the terrorists in Fallujah. Or to take some "energy and articulatiousness" pills to get ready for Friday's Kerry debate. Posted by: Cedarford on October 6, 2004 03:41 PM
Michigan might move towards Bush like NJ did, if they too had a freshly outed gay adulterous governor, who hired his unqualified lover for the top anti-terrorism job in the state at over $100,000 of public funds. Every time NJ voters think of the democrat party, waves of nausea come over them. Posted by: susan on October 7, 2004 03:26 AM
Are you in Michigan Ace? If so shoot me a note, we'll get together for dinner some time. Anyway: Bush is well within striking distance in Michigan. It's not that tough a nut to crack. We had a Republican governor, a very popular one, for 12 years, and when he was term-limited out, the Democrat Granholm replaced him, but in a squeaker election victory against an incredibly weak and inept Republican. That same year, Republicans took every single other statewide office, and kept comfortable majorities in both state houses. No, Michigan is HARDLY unwinnable for Republicans. But the economy's been slower here than in much of the rest of the Union, so it's a tougher slog for him. Posted by: Dean Esmay on October 7, 2004 06:08 AM

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame). Intellivision insists upon itself. Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.
