Some guy has posted notes on a Q&A with pollster John Zogby.
He is right about one thing:
* Both candidates get 47% each just for showing up. The election is bigger than the two personalities involved. The 5 or 6% of undecideds are a very fluid group.
And wrong about another:
The 4 million Christian Conservative “myth” of Karl Rove meant Bush wanted to pander to them to shore his support up and push his numbers up over 50% and hold them there for 4 years, rather than reach across to conservative Al Gore voters. This explains why Bush quickly rescinded Clinton’s environmental orders and decision on Government money for family planning groups that support abortion - he was chasing the CCs.
George Lakoff’s entire argument entails that by enacting intuitively Conservative policies Bush will activate the Strict Father political frame of swing voters and thereby win their support.
Don’t move toward the voter’s positions, draw the voters to your own.
We will see in a few weeks what be the result.
