If you want Kerry to win, vote for him.
The deciding factor in this election is going to be exactly what is happening in this thread - whether or not those who could vote for Kerry give up before election day, and possibly don't bother to vote.
BTW, I'm not saying that's what the starter of this thread, or others who posted are going to do - but it's a real danger.
The truth is, there are record numbers of new voter registrations. Now generally, that doesn't mean much - as most of those people, historically, don't bother to vote. However, as I've said in other threads, many are speculating that this election is so polarizing that those new voters will in fact vote this time around.
IF that were to happen, it is highly possible, IMO, that Kerry could win. BUT - if those votes never happen, because Kerry supporters concede the election before it even happens, and decide 'my vote isn't going to change the inevitable' - multiply that by millions, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
In other words, Kerry supporters who don't vote will be Bush's biggest supporters.
The moral of the story is, if you want Kerry elected, vote for him. Just do it. If enough new voters do that this time around, his chances of winning are good. Don't buy the 'poll spin' - just vote.
