    Well, if Nader can keep his 7% when the election comes, I'm predicating a Bush victory. But he's not likely to get that much. Personally, I really wish Kerry would try to work things out with Nader, agree to implement some of Nader's policy recommendations(which I tend to agree with more than Kerry's), and try to get Nader's votes. This is especially if the polls still show a dead heat in October.

    And as much as I hate to say it, the Democrats DID have a ton of free shots at Bush during the primary. I'm not sure which of their accusations are true, and which are false. Because Bush for the most part wasn't campaigning and couldn't fully respond to all the attacks. Not to mention that the attacks on Bush were mainly generalized and vague, rather than on specifics. So perhaps they're all true. Just that they didn't say anything.

    But the effect is quite big. After all, how could voters NOT be influenced by hearing anti-Bush speeches day after day after day on the news. Anything, if repeated often enough, would seem like the "truth" to the masses. This is also why I'm quite scared of Bush's big war chest. After the democrats have taken their best shot(in the primary), it's nearly a dead heat. From now on, Bush will have edge in money. Sure, money isn't everything, as the Marlins win over the Yankees have shown. But it sure helps.
