On Message Til Monday... Kerry Kicked Ass! (none / 0)

The thing about the debates is that anyone with half a brain who doesn't wake up and snort the kool aid knows Kerry just hit a three run homer with 4 innings to go and Bush didn't even seem to get a chance to see the ball let alone be the batter. But all I wanna say is I have a new campiagn: "On Message Til Monday". The Republican Spin  Machine will go into double duty and already has trying to salvage this President's performance as something short of heoric. They will make it sound like he was St. George coming under the fiery breath of the Kerry Draconicus. But only if we let them. The Media will turn away and begin to focus on Tuesday's debate around 9pm est on Monday (kickoff time for Monday Night Football)... Here's the mantra peeps... "On Message til Monday: Kerry Kicked Ass!"

Monday is key, especially until we see most of the polls.  YEAH YEAH YEAH Polls are BS and they don't mean a lot...except they give us somewhat of a picture and the uninformed eat it up like it was kool-aid laced with cyanide.  The polls will tell us a lot.  I 2-4 point bounce will be good news.  Anything higher means Bush screwed up.  At the very least, if it shifts people from Bush back to undecided, then we truly won tonight.

Michael...right on.  We win with a draw since, in the eyes of many viewers a draw brings Kerry up to an even plane with Bush even though Kerry started the night down an average of 5 polling points. BTW, I thought Bush frequently looked like a scared rabbit or a deer in the headlights...hardly the image a strong (?) commander wants to project.  Bush also looked like a midget until Fox changed the camera angle to show nearly a foot more podium to bring the two heads look at the same level.

Monday is important for another reason (none / 0)

It will be the first day that all of Rasmussen's results will be post-debate.  Kerry better be at least tied (within a point, let's say) in that poll then.

Why is the Rasmussen poll so important?  Because the sample size is HUGE.  There will 1,000 calls placed today, 1,000 placed tommorow, and 1,000 calls place on Sunday in that poll, for a total of 3,000 people surveyed.  So the sampling error is only +/- two points-very small.

Poll is here:

Re: Monday is important for another reason (none / 0)

Possible Scenarios and the results:
  1. Bush increases support and Kerry support goes down or stays the same - Unlikely, but I think if this happens we may be in trouble...or the poll is an outlier.
  2. Bush stays the same and Kerry increases by taking some of the undecided vote - A definate win.
  3. Bush Decreases and Kerry stays the same - A good setup for us as that means people are being open minded.
  4. Bush Decreases and Kerry Increases - A big win and huge momentum as Kerry gains undecideds and some Bush leaners.
  5. Both stay the same - Not as bad as the first scenario, but increases pressure on Kerry.  I don't see this as likely though.
Based on what I have seen today, I am predicting either scenario #2, 3 and 4.  Most likely I think we will see scenario #2; just a gut feeling but I am hoping for #4 obviously.  Any of #2,3, and 4 and a strong showing in Debate #2 could be just what we need to propel us to victory.  Comeback Kid comming back.

What are you predictions?
