WASHINGTON --

Al Gore has reclaimed a double-digit lead in Maryland, has an edge in
Illinois, and has closed to a dead heat with George W. Bush in New
Hampshire, according to new state polls of the presidential race.

-- In Maryland, with 10 electoral votes, Democrat Gore led Republican
Bush 51 percent to 36 percent in a Gonzales-Arscott poll of 649
registered voters taken Wednesday through Sunday.

-- In Illinois, with 22 electoral votes, Gore had a 46 percent to 41
percent edge over Bush in a Mason-Dixon poll of 629 voters taken
Thursday through Sunday.

-- In New Hampshire, with 4 electoral votes, Bush had 48 percent and
Gore 44 percent in the poll of 540 registered voters taken Thursday
through Saturday.

The error margin in all three surveys was 4 percentage points.

Bush had been about even in Maryland and Illinois and ahead by 10
points in New Hampshire in polls taken before the party conventions.

Gore has closed the gap in national polls, leaving the two virtually
tied.

His improvement from an 18-point deficit in national polls after the
GOP convention has been showing up in state polls conducted in recent
weeks.

In other post-convention polls,

Gore also had reclaimed a double-digit lead in California, with 54
electoral votes;

closed to a dead heat in Michigan, which has 18 electoral votes;

and had an edge in Minnesota, with 10 electoral votes.

Bush had an edge or a lead in many states before the conventions.

A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the election.

Mason-Dixon = Republicanslanted poll ... Looks like Illinois's a lock, too

New Hampshire may be Otterboy's last hope in the Northeast ... ironic since
that's where he first was exposed as a fraud.

I hear that Gore has a sizeable lead in Florida.

Let's see: California, 54; New York, 33; New England (except Maine),
31; Florida, 25; Illinois, 22; Maryland 10; that's 175 right there.
And Gore will probably take Michigan (18), Tennessee (11), Ohio (21),
Pennsylvania (23), Minnesota (10), Oregon (7), Arkansas (6), and
Hawaii (4)

And of course, there's a least a half dozen other states that Gore is
likely to pull out.

My assessment: CA, NY: 89, New England (except New Hampshire) 31, Maryland,
New Jersey (doubledigit leads), 25 ... I've held Pennsylvania out (no recent
polls) but w/ a doubledigit lead in NJ, which votes like the Philly area, &
a dead heat tie in Ohio, which means the Cleveland-Akron-Youngstown area,
which votes like the Pittsburgh area, is Gore country ... give Gore
Pennsylvania until further notice: 23 .... toss in Delaware & DC (6) based
on Maryland & NJ polls:

Subtotal: 174

Likewise with substantial Gore leads in both Illinois (22) & Minnesota
(10), give Gore Wisconsin & Iowa (18) .... add another 50.

Subtotal: 224

add Hawaii (3), Tennessee (11), & New Mexico (5) ...

Subtotal: 243.

Gore needs to work Washington (11) & Oregon (7) , where Nader is still a
factor ... it's hard to envision Otterboy winning either, though (Dukakis
states) ...

Gore was behind in West Virginia (5) in earlier polls, but, once again, this
is usually an overwhelmingly D state in Presidential elections.

Subtotal: 265

Gore is still short a handful.

Conclusion - if he doesn't win in Missouri (11), Ohio (21), or Florida (25),
Michigan (18) can put him over the top.

He needs only one out of four .... Bush now needs *all* four!

IT'S GORE'S RACE TO LOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a bad analysis. You know that Gore is leading by eight in Florida
now, correct?

If that holds up, it's all over for Otterboy:

He's way ahead in a slew of Biblethumper states that look big on a map but
don't add up to much in electoral votes:

As an exercise, I took *14* of them &, guess what?

Their electoral total - 89 was offset by NY & CA .... 89!!!

He's got Texas, but he's way short on other big electoral vote states other
than a handful in the South (Virginia, N. Carolina & Georgia) .... and Gore
could give him a race (pun intended) in NC & GA ... not likely Gore can win
GA or NC, but Bush has got to spend some time & $$$ there to hold them white
cracker/racists in his column.

Virginia could prove shaky for Bush, too. Much of the state is in the
Northeast orbit (DC metro area).

Meanwhile, all the Big Hitters outside the South are falling for Gore like
bowling pins ..... NY, CA, Illinois, NJ, narrow lead in MI, tie in Ohio,
probably a lead in PA.

FL no longer is a biblethumping Southern state ... too many seniors from
the Midwest (lean R) & the Northeast (lean D) ... too big, too metropolitan
.... the Reps better come up w/ a prescription drug/ Medicare plan FAST!

(rest on Gore's state leads deleted)

Does anyone know anything about the "Research 2000" poll that just came
out and showed that Gore has a four point national lead among likely
voters?

NC is in flux, too. It's worked do hard to attract industry and
high-tech workers from the north, with the result that the state has
been slowly swinging away from the far right, politically and
culturally. This might be the year we see it move from Jesse Helms
and toward mainstream America.

The South is the reason Bush only trails by four, much the same way
that the home field is the reason Colorado has all those 30+ home run
hitters.

POA polls have been consistantly overreporting Bush support. It was
only the day before yesterday that they dropped the claim that Bush
had 351 electoral votes.

There are 3 elements in Bush's Electoral College coalition:

A. The Racist Biblethumping South (Mississippi, Alabama, SC etc)

B. The RRR 6step LOONLADDER: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas;

C. The Loon Fanatic Bunker-Bastions: Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska

It shows the GOP doesn't believe its bluster, and realizes this election
is in trouble. But, of course, if it were Bush having the momentum,
Gore would be doing the same thing. It's going to be a nasty campaign,
but I think the Gore camp is happy that they can play up the GOP going
negative first.

FIRST?!?!?! Gore's been attacking Bush in ads way back before Bush even
got the nomination! They took the unprecidented action of running
negative attack ads during the Republican convention, for cripes sakes!

> tomorrow. No big surprise really. Bush lied about quitting drinking,

The only liar is you.

He's always said that if engaged in negative attacks, he'd fight back.
It's only fair. Gore drew first blood.

What negative ads are they fighting back against? Remember, negative
ads are PERSONAL adds, criticism of the individual's character, not
criticism of a record or issues.

Still, I think Bush is probably smart to go negative, I think he has to
in order to have a real chance at this election. This puts pressure on
Gore who will have to respond (he can't be like Dukakis and trust that
the American people will reject negativism), but to do so in a way that
doesn't make him look slimey. This is a test of the Gore campaign
machine.

And now as the gloves come off, this election will be a humdinger to
watch!

Who says "negative" adds have to include character issues? I guess
people with poor character.

Not really. Gore has to explain why for the past 8 years, none of the
things he believes are so important, got taken care of, and why the
American people should accept Hillarycare (which they've already made
clear they don't want) in increments.

Gore doesn't have any real answers for the credible character issues
that face him. He can't morph into someone he's not.

In the midst of all this artificial back-slapping, would one of you
gents tell us what is supposedly negative about these ads?

Be specific, please.

so maybe the State of Texas should start a series of negative ads against
the States of California & New York?

since when is the Governor of a State immune from criticism over his record?

"negative".

He wasn't lying about his role in "Love Story". He was.

These state polls I think explain more why Bush is going negative so
early than the national polls. He lost the "big mo'" and hopes this
will get it back. Its a risky strategy.

They poll for National Journal.

Newsweek has Gore up ten. 49 39 in four way. Two way 51 41.

Registered voters.


Pennsylvania poll has Gore up in double digits, per a Pittsburgh paper
this AM.

No wonder Bush went negative personal.

If Gore has regained a lead in Oregon, then all will be well.

Then Gore should be proud, and this isn't a "negative". Of course, most
Americans now it's NOT true, and it makes Gore look stupid.

Debateable. Segal says that the only thing even remotely close was that
the distant relationship between the main character and his wealthy
father was reminiscent of Gore and his father.

Sure he did.

Nope. Good try. Though, when you have to talk about Al Gore, it's
awfully hard to work around the sleeze...there's just so much of it
surrounding him.

The Republicans have been "going negative" for two months now, ever
since they stopped attacking John McCain.

Continuous, non-stop, 24x7 negative campaigning of the most vicious,
mindless, moronic nature. Or haven't you listened to Rush, anyone on
the local Mother Ship who broadcasts with him, Fox News (which OPENLY
announces itself as a Republican TV station!!), etc.

In fact, they've never stopped "going negative." What do you call the
failed impeachment movement? It's negative campaigning, personal,
mindless, vicious, moronic, in the absence of a campaign.

Another instance of Zepp pulling falsehoods out of his ass. The ad in

The deceptive negative ads that used votes made by Dick Cheney to
confuse voters into thinking that Cheney was for or against things he
wasn't. For instance, they claimed he suggested raising oil prices,
without explaining that this was before the current situation with high
prices, where the oil companies in some cases were losing money. It's
the kind of thing that Bush refused to do with Gore's "lying" claims of
94, but which Al Gore doesn't have a single problem with, which goes
back to the credibility issue that the new RNC ad deals with.

I see you're backing away from your false claim that the RNC made a
false claim itself. Good. If Gore didn't do anything wrong in fund
raising, then why on earth would at least 3 independent investigators
tell Janet Reno that there needed to be an idepenedent investigation of
Mr. Gore and the FBI suggest that he lied to them? I say let's let the
American people decide for themselves if attending a fund raiser in a
buddhist temple is appropriate behavior. That's what the RNC is doing,
unlike YOUR false claims that they said he did something illegal.

Again, POINT OUT THE LIE. It's a gross exageration to say that HIS
iniative created the Internet. Not the entity that's existed for over
20 years, or it's current evolved state as a publically available
resource (Gore had imagined ARPA for use of Gov. and Edu. only when he
offered to sponsor legislation which allowed other more capable people
to help evolve, not invent, the internet). Again, let's let the
American people decide if it's bogus or not. I certainly hope that Al
get's up in the debates and repeats his claims EXACTLY has he did in the
interview.

"The author, Erich Segal, told The New York Times he was 'befuddled' by
the comments in the first place. He said he called Gore, and the vice
president said it was a misunderstanding." (Sources: The Des Moines
Register, 12/15/97; Gore concedes 'miscommunication' about 'Love Story'
role)

Gore, on a visit to a New Hampshire high school, said that he "found a
little place in upstate New York called Love Canal" and that a hearing
he had in Tennessee in October 1978 "started it all." (Forget about
Jimmy Carter, who declared the area a national state of emergency
months earlier.)

Wrong

The 2nd amendment put "teeth" in STATE government to protect citizens WITHIN
their borders from attack absent a CENTRAL government army.

The Protections against ALL the enumerated grievances contained in the
Declaration of Independence were addressed years later by the constitution.
That NEGATES any reason to conclude that "guns" provide protection of
constitional protections.

We PROTECT, by "RULE OF LAW"

And for you who can't understand that intellectual rationale, I feel sorry for
you.

Another Dolt inability to read english comes to the fore front. Zepp
claimed that the RNC made a "false claim" in that Gore broke some law.
I explained to Zepp that they did no such thing (he ASSumed they did)
and then he started backing away from the claim by using the phrase "if
Gore did nothing wrong". Doing something wrong, and doing something
illegal are two different things. I and the RNC didn't claim the
latter. Zepp originally did, thus his use of a lesser description was a
backing away, and I made an observation. That isn't even close to being
a strawman, so I take back my former overestimation of your ability to
comprehend the term.

> 7) Wednesday night FNC reported a development on the temple
fundraising front and disclosed how there was also a memo from FBI
Director Louis Freeh urging an independent counsel, "this time
because Vice President Gore was suspected of lying."

On Special Report with Brit Hume on April 5 Hume announced:
"Two Buddhist nuns have been indicted in connection with Vice
President Gore's campaign fundraising woes. A federal grand jury
has charged the women with contempt of court. They were given
immunity in exchange for their testimony against Gore pal Maria
Hsia, but the nuns failed to appear in court. Hsia was convicted
last month in connection with her fundraising. She arranged Gore's
visit to that Buddhist temple in 1996. And there has been another
revelation about the Justice Department's long investigation into
the campaign finance abuses of the 1996 Democratic presidential
campaign, and our Jim Angle is standing by with details. Jim,
what's up?"

a second and previously undisclosed memo from FBI Director Louis Freeh
again urging the Attorney General to appoint an independent counsel --
this time because Vice President Gore was suspected of lying to FBI
investigators. And congressional sources tell Fox that the, that
recommendation was joined by two high ranking Justice Department
lawyers, one of whom had previously argued against an independent
counsel.
"Now the Justice Department's former chief campaign
investigator Charles LaBella had recommended an independent
counsel twice, the second time saying that Vice President Gore may
have provided false testimony when he was questioned by the FBI.
Fox has now learned that Director Freeh later joined that
argument, saying there was enough evidence to investigate the Vice
President for lying. Now the sources emphasize that no one is
suggesting there is anything approaching a smoking gun, but more
than enough to appoint an independent counsel to make sure that
the administration is not investigating itself."

What does that have to do with the price of rice in China? The debate

Let me see, you are now going to deny that the Chinese Army gave money
to elect Clinton, and that the unions did not launder contributions,
the teas were not for contribution?

Gee Brian, I really thought you paid more attention. They even had
that in the NY Times and Wash. Post.

He bounced back because people stopped paying attention.

So you can hope that people will stop paying attention over the next 9
1/2 weeks.

Strawman alert!!!!!!!!

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a
person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or
misrepresented version of that position.

A Straw Man Argument is a statement you make if you want to more
easily attack an opposing position. You intentionally make a silly
caricature of that position, one that no one would believe,
knock down that silly, unrealistic caricature, and then proclaim that
the original version of the argument has been demolished. This tactic
fools a lot of people.

This is one of the most unethical and cowardly of debating tactics,
since you have so little confidence in your own position that you
cannot even address the real position of your opponent. At the heart
of the Straw Man Argument is deception.

Do you know those ads re Texas childrens' health care are "muddy"? Bush really does
have a terrible record on that issue. (Including claiming credit for a bill which he
said at the time the Democrats had "forced down our throats."

The plain facts might sound like mud, but they're on record. See Molly Ivins and

Rasmussen Research Named Most Accurate in Primary Polling
TownPages Subsidiary Ranked First Followed by Gallup and Zogby

TownPagesNet.com (AMEX: TPN - news), today announced that an
independent analysis of pre-election polls and actual primary results
found that its subsidiary Rasmussen Research most accurately predicted
the outcomes of the Presidential Primary elections this year. Gallup
and Zogby finished a close second and third.

The Washington, DC-based Progressive Review, (http://www.prorev.com)
which conducted the "Primary Pollster Run-Off", ranked Rasmussen
Research number one in accuracy. Sam Smith, the magazine's publisher,
commented, "the results suggest that, contrary to popular myth, polls
do work, but that some work considerably better than others."

Rasmussen Research President, Scott Rasmussen commented, "We're
obviously pleased with this independent validation of our work.
Primary elections are the most difficult of all to project, so our
number one ranking through the primary season is particularly
satisfying. The leader in every Rasmussen Research pre-election poll
emerged victorious on election day."

Rasmussen Research conducts independent public opinion research using
a proprietary automated telephone survey system. Results of this
research are distributed on-line and through traditional media
outlets. The firm's Portrait of America web site is the Number One
Source for Public Opinion Polling Data On the Internet.

Rasmussen Research is one of a group of companies owned by UK-based
TownPagesNet.com plc. Other group companies include BuyersGuide Ltd.,
(formerly Bowden Publishing) a well-known Internet-based Local
Authority and Public Service Guide, and Town Pages UK Ltd., which
operates an interactive service providing comprehensive up-to-date
locally focused information about specific towns and cities in the
United Kingdom in a graphically pleasing format. TownPagesNet.com plc
has announced its intention to take BuyersGuide public in the UK and
seek a listing for it on the London stock market. TownPages®' website

THey use robot calling machines to poll. Press one if you are 12 years

Yes, very good. But neither of our contenders is attributing a false

Harold is an expert at that move, but he's not using it here. He's
just trying to attack by changing the subject.

Of course, what Portrait of America's little puff piece (you forgot to

that they were within 1% of the other major polls in the primaries,
and predicting the winners was hardly a major feat, since the average
primary result was about 75-25 after the second week in March.

Now, PoA seems well outside the margin of error of all the other
polls, which is why we're having this little discussion. Further,
they don't seem to have changed any of their results in a week, just
the dates over the results, which is nothing more than a clock,
designed to give the results a false sense of immediacy.

Another sign that they may be a bit squirrely is that when you figure
out the dailies in their three day rolling average, the jumps seem
wild, day to day, at times, yet the averages do not.

I actually wonder if Mr Rasmussen is cooking the numbers a bit,
smoothing them out to make em look more rational.

He has a "proprietary" method of weighting the sample, which is a
no-no in the books of the professional polling associations. They say
you gotta publish how you treat the data or no one can tell if you're
cheating.

Comparing its performance to Gallup and Zogby shows a lcearer

I toss a coin, it comes up heads. Rasmussen.

I toss a coin since 1936 and it continually comes up heads. Gallup.

Comprende?

It's funny watching Jerky lump Zogby in with "all those other polls".
Zogby, of course, was the one polls that hit dead on in the 1996
presidential race, which as you recall, tightened dramatically in the
last three days. Of course, only one poll--ABC--was outside the MoE,
but these wingnuts want PRECISION in their fake science.

But Zogby is now reporting things they don't want to hear--they lost
considerable cachet among right wingers when they predicted that the
GOP would be lucky if they gained five seats in 1994 (that put them a
lot closer to what happened then GOP polls, which showed gains up to
60 seats). Zogby is no longer the champion on the white horse.

Roboto-Rassmussan is. Until they start reporting Bush's death spiral
as well.

I expect Fa to go to Gore. The reason is with the demographics. Lot of
retire people and they don't want any drunken frat boy like Dubya
messing with their SS. The other reason many of these retired people
are displaced from the snow belt.

Well, Bush has never had the lead in Illinois since the primaries,
but it is not a solid lead for Gore.

Gore's lead dropped to 4% in Illinois, making the race much more
fierce.
