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...

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.
From Archimedes: Democrats are really now arguing that it's time to open the Big Tent to Nazis:

How it's going: How 'Big Tent' Are Democrats Willing to Go? Many in the party say it needs a wider range of candidates to run. Does that include people with Nazi tattoos?

Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said, "Graham has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He's had a very long journey to the place where he is today, but he's owned those mistakes, owned up to them, and he's evolved." Khanna called the tattoo "horrendous," but said: "Do we want our political governing class to be like the classmates I had at Yale Law School, some of them who dreamed of being president of the United States from the age of twelve?" He continued, "Or do we want normal people also having a chance at these offices?"

--The Atlantic, today. Have they SEEN the people who vote for them?
Link to Ed Driscoll's post here
Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.)
The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.
