Food for Thought

Because dems usually beat reps by large margins in the women's vote, and reps always beat the dems in the male vote, doesn't that necessarily make the democratic party more womanly?

The most recent polls have Bush up by a larger margin in Florida (around 5%) than in Ohio (now less than 3%!). Overall that is good news though as Florida commands 27 EV votes to Ohio's 20. C'mon MC I thought you had Ohio under control! More good news is coming from Pennsylvania, where the two polls released today had Bush up 3 and Kerry up 1. On average though, Kerry probably still retains the slightest of leads (1%). If Bush takes Pennsylvania, it'll be lights out. (Ed. Note: especially to The Moderate, it's stories like this that give me so much faith in Bush taking Pennsylvania. This has been his #1 target for the last four years!) More good news out of Michigan. The latest poll gave Bush a 2 pt lead, although on average Kerry maintains about a half point lead there. Like Pa, if Bush takes Mich, see ya! (Btw, is it a coincidence that as soon as Kerry cheered for the Buckeyes in Michigan his numbers started to drop, and as soon as he called Lambeau field "Lambert field" his lead in Wisconsin turned into an 11 pt deficit?) (Ed. note: MC is a huge OSU fan. VLWC is a big Mich fan. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.) Also, Bush remains tied in Minnesota, which may be the tightest race in the country. Kerry would have a tough time if he can't hold Minnesota. Finally, Bush seems to be solidifying Colorado, and remains within a point and a half in New Jersey!!

Btw, for those of you that don't already do so, I suggest that a daily visit to realclearpolitics.com becomes part of your routines.

One more note, does anybody really, and I mean honestly, think that John Edwards is qualified to be the president?
