This USA Today poll shows Kerry actually losing ground from his convention:
In the survey, taken Friday and Saturday, Bush led Kerry 50%-46% among likely voters. Independent candidate Ralph Nader was at 2%.
The survey showed Kerry losing 1 percentage point and Bush gaining 4 percentage points from a poll taken the week before the Boston convention.
The change in support was within the poll’s margin of error of +/-4 percentage points in the sample of 763 likely voters. But it was nonetheless surprising, the first time since the chaotic Democratic convention in 1972 that a candidate hasn’t gained ground during his convention.
Negative bounce is downright hilarious, but what you should expect from a campaign whose theme song is Let’s Get Retarded:
Let’s Get Retarded, in here…
And the base keep runnin’ runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and runnin’, and…
In this context, there’s no disrespect, so,
when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks.
We got five minutes for us to disconnect,
from all intellect collect the rhythm effect.
Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition,
free your inner soul and break away from tradition.Coz when we beat out, girl it’s pullin without.
You wouldn’t believe how we wow shit out.
Burn it till it’s burned out. Turn it till it’s turned out.
Act up from north, west, east, south.
This is the tune that the Peas performed after the Edwards speech, but some of the lyrics were modifed to suit the NBA playoffs.
