1. Pretty much the same bump he got from the plastic turkey!
Not much to me!! I saw that and said big deal. W/ our nominee's and voices out there that bump will be gone in a wk!!! The problem is that it's very hard to get any message out when it's just a Saddam orgy-fest EVERYWHERE YOU TURN! Get over it!!! He's been caught. Great. Now move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Now they're showing a 9 point jump.
They are drooling all over themselves. DAMN, I wish MWO was up.

I trust the media less now than I ever did before even.

5. Yep. About 5 points seems to be the consensus
I would expect that just from the bias of enthusiastic pollsters. In other words, ain't no big deal. Hiya CatWoman. I always try to catch your posts.

6. Look mama! Junior made poopie!
You couldn't be more correct. I was bracing for a double digit spike in Bushhole's approval. Instead I was pleasantly shocked to see this 4 to 6 point gain joke.

This race is defying gravity more and more with each passing day.

7. given all the publicity and whoring
if Bush gets less than a ten point bump I will consider it pretty lame. In a couple of weeks things will die down and doubts about what is happening in Iraq will rise up.

10. that confounded Librul Media strikes again!
See how they are always putting down and criticizing Bush, and promoting their librul lies?

Oh wait, sorry, I thought I was in the mirror universe that Repubes live in...

13. Judy Woodruff was..
..positively ORGASMIC when quoting the polls. She was literally jolly. I wonder if they reach this level of ecstacy when Bush's poll numbers drop? Doubtful. The bias is clear.

14. CNN says Bush is now at 63%
http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/17/elec04.prez.poll/index.html

I haven't looked at these numbers in great detail, but a quick reading of the Inside Politics article has Bush coming in a 63% job approval.

It is the bump one might expect after the big news of Saddam's capture. Moss on a rock would have gotten the same bounce in tracking polls.

I'd say the reality is that Bush will level off at around 52% with dips and spikes occuring as current events cycle in and out of the news.

15. Corproate TV Pravda has a job to do

18. These guys are so hungry for victory, they take a touch down and
think they won the Season.

Its all hype and pysops.

the real diff is the SYSTEMs not the candidates.

Those pubs are always talking candidate s as a distraction from talking about the issues and the difference in systems.

In plain words, their system sucks

and ours is Better.

Its all about the COMMON GOOD
