New I wouldn't say that
Polling data are close enough that even if most people aren't affected, the ones who are may be significant.

In fact following [link|http://www.electoral-vote.com/|http://www.electoral-vote.com/] in the last few days, it looks like there has been a big enough shift in the last few days to swing the election were it held now. I'm guessing that the memo issue is a significant part of that. (And the backlash is a bigger deal than the memos.)

Cheers,
Ben

New Move 15 back to blue
Ain't no way NJ will go Republican. Polling data or not.

Backlash is a bigger deal simply because nobody gave a damn about the initial issue. Theres 4 years of polling history behind that statement.

However, re-launching that dead duck based upon forged documents will certainly result in a negative for Kerry. Much of that negative comes from the perception at large (just not here) that the media is biased...especially CBS.
