New Polls Confirm Bush Campaign Woes
Washington Post/ABC News (3/9): Kerry 53% Bush 44%
CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll (3/8): Kerry 52% Bush 44%

I guess those expensive new TV spots aren't quite setting the electorate afire. And those horrible speeches he's been making lately can't be helping much either. Shrub's new line today about those who oppose the outsourcing of American jobs being in favor of economic isolationism has got to be among the stupidest ever delivered by a major American politician (see cite).

1. "economic isolationism" translation...
Vote for me and I will promise that I will ship as many jobs as I can overseas for business profit.

8. Naah, he just learned that phrase and wanted to use it.
He's lucky he wasn't asked about, say, education.

2. Yes, Kerry is still alive
even those Democrat's who are abk (much as I hate them)who have been plugging away at Bush, I thank you. Many of us campaigning for Kerry thought he would collapse at the first round during the Bush Commercials. Still a long way to go.....sigh

4. Why did you think he would collapse??
I don't think he shelled out 6.4 million of his own bucks so he could crawl in a hole and cry if Bush attacked! Also, there is so much to attack Bush on that one could use something different every day and still not run out of subject matter. I find Kerry coming across much, much stronger than Gore. Gore never attacked. Gore let 'indiscretions' be swept under George's rug because it wasn't nice to say bad things about George. Kerry has really impressed me in his head on with Bush. Loved his answer to asshole Cheney's claim of the soldier who thanked Bush for leadership because "indecision kills"...Kerry said that reckless decisions also kill!! The Bushes are used to people sticking it in their faces. He has them flustered.

5. Against job loss == Isolationist!
Keep it up Chimpster! There's not enough money in the world to sell that nonsense.

How come the Dems haven't knocked this one out of the park yet? Maybe they're just hoping the late night comedians will do it for them.

6. As a result watch the new platform that GW Bush proposes...
...The Raw Deal, elimination of all taxes for the very rich and big corporations on the premise that 20 million new jobs will be created by 2008:party: Happy days are here again.
