But as I said before, wait til tonite..........another crushin' is coming in the Town Hall Debate. Go John!
I'm very pleased with this latest state by state polling results. We've got a good shot at getting rid of a real thorn in our side; the harrassment of our community will get far worse over the next four years if Bush stays in power.

Good news for Kerry. However, consider that he is only leading by 1 point in Ohio (20 electoral votes) and 2 points in Pennsylvania (21 electoral votes), both key swing states. Both polls are within the margin or error, as they were when Bush was shown leading. A turn around of 41 electoral votes would have Bush ahead. The bottom line is that this election is going down to the wire and will probably be decided in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florda.
I don't think Bush can win without taking either Ohio or Pennsylvania. These are both heavily industrial states with voters worried about the economy. Given this, I think the next two debates are crucial, since the economy will be the central issue. If Bush has nothing to say, he'll be in trouble.
