Movement Towards Kerry: Terrible Harbinger or Weekend Polling?

Bush's RCP average lead is down to a paltry 1.7.

It's not a secret that weekend polling has consistently created a Kerry bump that smooths out as the week begins anew. Why should it be different now?

Also well-acknowledged is that tracking polls are less verifiable than "regular" polls, due to smaller sample sizes and wholesale lack of internals.

Of more interest is a fact like Kerry pulling his ads from NM and effectively conceding that blue state.

Keep abreast of the latest words at Nationalreview.com 's KerrySpot, Corner, and Battlegrounders, as well as the fascinating HorseRaceBlog (jaycost.blogspot.com).

Normal people were celebrating Halloween yesterday, especially Bush voting married family people and Non-New York liberals. Normal people also hang up on telemarketers and pollsters.

The best news is that Kerry is only leading by 8 points in Florida's early voting. Old people have been standing in line since 5:30 am, bused in by democrats from their nursing homes, the Republicans haven't even voted yet, and Kerry only has 51%! (I want to know where the other 6% went in that poll - I mean, these people don't remember who they voted for?)

Deep breaths, dude. It's going to be a long couple of days.

Bush will win this thing. No worries here.

Ace: Man... you know I love you like the mother I never had...

... but, seriously. You keep wigging out like this, every time Zogby or some other partisan Dem-pocketed polling shill shoots a meaningful glance our way... and: I'm gonna make you tart up like the lead singer for Ratt and yodel "Body Talk" while wriggling on my lap like an amphetamined cobra, okay... ?

We're ahead in Ohio, and pulling further away from the margin of error daily. Florida is defensible, and Kerry (meanwhile) is only just now discovering -- too late -- that PA, NJ and Hawaii are all trouble spots, rather than safe bets.

*Unclench*, for the luvva mike. You could probably crack walnuts with that sphincter, right about now. :)

Tranquillo, amigo. With few exceptions (2000 being one. :( )Republican candidates tend to under-poll, until the "one that counts."

For example, 1996: http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=119

and http://www.ncpp.org/1936-2000.htm

Reagan/Carter was "too close to call." Har!

I don't believe a majority of voters wish to tatoo "Surrender Monkey" on their foreheads, so I look for a Bush win.

Cordially...

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021.
