Who WILL Win the Election?

Not who SHOULD, not who do you WANT to win, but just a flat out prediction.

Try not to let personal feelings of who you want to win influence your prediction!

Who will win it?

I predict Bush in a close race. He has a lot of subversive elements working for him, ie the crooked voting machine companies, Jeb in Florida, etc. Not to mention Flyoverille, USA is populated by Mul's inbred brothers and sisters.

Voting for Kerry is like getting your arm amputated. Sure, it sucks, but it's better than leaving it caught in the meat grinder.

They have a saying in Tennessee, we have it in Texas too. Fool me once, stumble, stumble, stumble.

In other words . . . .

The Florida brother won't work twice. But you have hit the nail on the head. The Diebold voting machines should do the trick this time around. After he wins two crooked elections, we just disband the Congress and forgo future elections. He's a young man, he should be good for the next 20 years or so.

We'll bring it on to a lot more places in 2005!

Hope you guys are married with children and over 35. It's almost time to play the "What's Your Birthday Game".

If Kerry would start fighting and talking tough, inciting and pointing accusatory fingers toward Bush and his war, the unstable economy, his utter disregard for the environment, human and equal rights, Kerry would win outright. But he's too busy hugging Edwards and pretending he's above the agressiveness that this election needs. Personally, it doesn't seem Kerry's into it; Edwards I don't know about.

In short, Kerry will win, but by a slim margin and not by his own volition. It will take forces beyond Kerry to throw Bush out; such as Iraq not going well and the job market experiencing continued adversities. Kerry in and of himself seems to be a small threat against Bush.

Boston is my current state of residence. I've lived in several.

I was quoting your President from the F 9-11 movie. He was apparently in Tennessee making a speech and started off with the Fool me once thing. He got into it and either forgot the rest of the old saying or realized half way thru that he would have to say "fool me twice, shame on me."

You really ought to go see the movie.

You are 100% correct. Kerry seems to be asleep. Maybe Edwards will put some life into his campaign.

OK tough guy. How about a man-to-man wager. You say landslide, I say no way. Too close to call or Kerry my a nose.

Loser says good bye to this BBS and the group wins either way. That means the loser does not post again, ever, except once to say so long, good bye.

Put up or shut up.

this is a tough one to predict. The campaign $ seems to be pretty even. Bush is vulnerable to any bad news from anywhere. Kerry's doing a good job. The profile for those swing votes says they don't decide till the last 2 weeks. Who knows?

The Bush cabinet will self-destruct..............I think 1000+ deaths in Iraq will be a number the public won't be able to accept, and we are only 150 away from this.......don't get me wrong, I don't wish for this to happen, but it seems inevitable........

Kerry barely needs to do anything since the Bush Administration is it's own worst enemy.

If Bush wins, I suspect some time during his next term he will go down in a WaterGate style impeachment process based on misleading the public into going to war on Iraq.

I think your fixed in your emotional opnions. perhaps 80% of the voters are this "fixed". So the issue is the swing 20% who don't finally decide till 2 weeks before the elec. What sales pitch are they going to buy into ?

The 20% will base they're decision on the state of the war in Iraq.......number of soldiers dead and what America has gained from it (which is nothing)

To quote Chris Matthews from Hardball...."The ironic thing is that once Iraq holds it's free elections in January the Iraqi people will vote for the party that hates America the most!"

soooo true

Precisely. But to say Kerry hasn't gone negative for the last 3+ years is foolishness. His puppet-masters have strategically told him to calm down, for good reason, his internal polling is suggesting a firm dislike for the creature. Fortunately he has all the major media, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, et al, doing his dirty work for him. Sorta like a mob boss doesn't do his own hits.

The only reason the golddigger is doing so well in the polls is because all microphones and cameras are tuned to +Kerry -Bush.

You see, what the main-stream media does is take polls on a serial basis. When they have an agenda they pump that agenda, take polls, ignore them if they don't fit "the story", keep pumping the people full of whatever crap they are selling, and continue polling until the polls fit the picture they are painting. Once the polls are manipulated into shape they come out front page, top of the news hour. They then feign like the public just came to their conclusions spontaneously, like they (the media) had no influence whatsoever.
