tunaplanet 0 #1 September 7, 2004 According to the most reliable source for polls (Rasmussen) Bush has increased his lead. He's now up 213 to 175. It seems Kerry's flip-flops and lying has finally caught up with him. Here's how the past few weeks have looked. Date Bush Kerry Sept 6 213 175 Sept 5 213 207 Aug 29 213 207 Aug 28 200 190 Aug 27 183 193 Aug 22 183 203 Aug 20 183 223 Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #4 September 7, 2004 Unless one takes a *winning* lead, it's a leap to make that conclusion. 213 to 327 wouldn't be considered that close an election. Looking at those numbers, it's obvious that Kerry lost a state into the too close to call category. That doesn't mean he isn't still leading it by a single point (we know that it only takes a few hundred votes to win). Per this source, the 2 pt bounce from the RNC didn't translate into any solid gains in the electoral college. Still at 213. It may have helped in the battleground states. The debates might be meaningful this year. Kerry better study Gore's failures there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm tired of all these damned Kerry bashers in here. They just can't make up their minds about anything! Half of 'em say he's got this crappy voting record in Congress, always voting for the wrong things, like gutting the military and what not. The other half says he doesn't even vote, always missing sessions, and then they throw around this ridiculous 76% absentee rate and whatever. Doesn't it make you sick? I mean, either he was there voting or he wasn't! Those conservsative pricks want it both ways, and it just won't work! . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #21 September 10, 2004 QuoteHong Kong 107 Korea, South 106 Japan 105 Taiwan 104 Singapore 104 Austria 102 . . . 96 Portugal 95 Slovenia 95 Israel 94 Romania 94 Bulgaria 93 Average IQ of the list = 100 +/-7 (7 is about a half standard deviation). So this rocket scientist is showing that the average IQ of everybody in the list is average and not statistically different than any other country. (I'd rather do this with confidence intervals, but that data isn't in the post and I'm too lazy to get it myself). What is really means is all these countries average about 100 more or less with in the natural error of the measure. Makes sense. Guess what - smart and dumb people are not substantially different based on the country they are in. Despite what some try to claim in these forums. Edit: John knows this, so what he's doing is amusing himself, laughing at you so to speak when people try to justify a 98 as below normal. Now that I think about it, it is funny. ...
