Dear Republicans
What the fuck is wrong with you all? Are you fucking stupid? Can you really not see how bad your fucking candidate is?
I know the election hasn't 'officially' been called... but let's not kid ourselves. Kerry got worked, and Bush has won in a landslide. Jesus, what does this guy have to do to convince you that he's dangerous?
Four more years of darkness. Four more years of reactionary warmongering, lies & deceits & half-truths. Four more years of nepotistic war profiteering, of civil liberties being eroded and extreme agendas being pushed without the fear of re-election. Four more years of mishandling the fight against terrorism. Four more years of unilateral meddling in the Middle-East in an attempt to gain a stranglehold on oil resources.
Four more years.
Four more years.

What?! Four more years of deceit, lies and half truths? Oh, wait. For a second I thought you were going to tell us we elected Bill Clinton again. Phew!... But can you really blame the Republicans? Polls showed that a band of South American pedophiliacs could have beat Bush, but somehow Kerry managed to convince even more Democrats to vote for Republican than previously did in 2004.
Actually, from the point of the Republican convention, Bush dominated the national polls. Check out this page for the details.
National polls though are the candy bar of the political landscape... they are instantly appealing, but of very little nutritional worth. If you want to know how the election is going to unfold, you need to look at the trends in the battleground states on the electoral college.
In those polls, a different story emerged - towards the end Kerry had a very narrow projected lead in the electoral college (of about five votes), with six states up for grabs... those six states were a toss-up precisely because the national polls are content-free.
If Kerry had won Florida and Ohio, he would have won. But that's also true if Bush had won Florida and Ohio. The actual closeness of the election was never reflected in the national polls (and even if it was reflective, Bush was leading), and the electoral college doesn't support your suggestion that Kerry was leading the election.
The only place your comment would apply is to the early exit polls taken in Florida and Ohio, which showed a groundswell for Kerry. There's still a lot of questions hanging over this statistically unlikely aberration, particularly regarding the veracity of the final tallies. I suspect we'll be hearing more about that in the coming weeks.
