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.

I agree with you 100%
Thats exactly how it is. Polls dont mean shit! The 2000 election almost ALL polls had Bush up by 4 or 5 points on election day, Gore won 47% - 46% in the final national vote. This year with so many new voters, if they vote, Kerry will win!
Call and TAKE EVEYONE you know who will vote for Kerry, and go to the Polls together! If they arent in the same polling place as you, car pool and go with them to make sure they vote!
Pull everyone together and remind EVERYONE to vote on election day!
