once again Sunshine Chick provides us with that brand of idiocy she has trademarked.

Kerry was consistently neck in neck with Bush throughout most of the election, usually lagging by 1-3 points.

Post for me where you saw what you post? Links??

So as of today, Obama is DOWN BY 12 !!
Actually, according to this (Kerry, Bush in dead heat in post-Democratic convention polls | Japan Policy & Politics | Find Articles at BNET) Kerry and Bush were at a dead heat after the Democratic Convention.

Where are you getting your statistics?

Uh, gentlemen, I hate to break the bad news to you, but it is a pretty well-known fact that Kerry was ahead in the polls about this time in 2004. Quite like what we are seeing today with Obama and McCain.

How does what you posted back up what you say (that Kerry was ahead)?
Seems to me it says just the opposite - or more accurately (if any thing) a dead heat.
Did you even read your link before you posted it?

What the heck are you smoking, Sunshine Chick? Kerry was down by 11% at approximately this time in 2004 (Aug 31). He'd already squandered his lead and kept going down. Here you go:

Campaign 2004: Bush Opens Double-Digit Lead - TIME

You really, really should do some homework before posting some of this stuff.

Wrong too. Sheesh. Read your own link.

8/30 - 9/2/04 %Bush=46 %Kerry=43

Kerry was down by 3 (some polls by much more) at this exact time in 2004.

We accept your apology.
