Kerry Will Win the Election

@This Year's Model

Teddy Roosevelt took a good shot at a non consecutive third term but failed. (In 1916) Him, maybe? Does anybody outside the states even remember Teddy anymore?

That was 1912, against his former VP, Taft, the Republican incumbant, and Wilson, the Democrat challenger (and winner of the election).

@Lobsang

I had a vague reccolection that someone well-know had had two non-consecutive terms and that it was nixon.

I suspect that this is a distorted recollection of the facts that 1)there was a president (Grover Cleveland) with two non-consecutive terms and 2)Nixon ran for president in 1960 and then came back to run again (winning this time) in 1968.

@Really Not All That Bright

Since most votes are already cast, perhaps I should say he already has.

It’s pretty obvious now that this election will set a record for turnout. High turnouts generally favor two candidates: a) the challenger- like Tucker Carlson (!) said, people don’t vote in record numbers for more of the same; and b) the Democratic candidate. (Old and wealthy people always have the time to vote; young and poor people only vote when they really care).

Plus, all the polls rely on “likely voters”; it doesn’t take into account the majority of likely anti-Bush voters- youngsters who will vote for the first time to get Bush out of office.

That’s my take, do with it as you please.

I’d say you’re a tad off base.

Man, is the OP’s name looking ironic under the thread title.

I voted for Kerry, and this *still *made me laugh.

Besides, all the exit polls show that Thomas Dewey is clearly going to win.
