5/27    Not that it will probably work out that way, but a hypothetical
        Kerry/McCain presidential ticket beats Bush 54-39% in polls.
        http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/26/opinion/polls/main619786.shtml
        \_ Bush is burnt toast, but please don't tell the motd freepers that:
           they might get disheartened and stop posting, which would make my
           days that much less amusing.
           \_ Uhm yeah.  Everyone who doesn't agree with you is a freeper.
              I'm sure you find it easier to smear the opposition with labels
              instead of engage in anything resembling honest debate.  Or you
              can just keep up the smear campaign and preach to the choir.
           \_ d00d, 91% of Republicans supported Bush a month ago.  Now
              only 84% of Republicans support Bush.  You won't be running
              out of Republicans anytime soon.
              \_ In a close race, losing 7% of your constituents in a single
                 month is pretty bad.
              \_ I'm so freaking out!  I need to go back to the freeper site
                 to get a dose!  Or I'll have to visit Rush's site and see
                 him on the 24x7 cam to assure myself I'm ok!  Or I could just
                 chill like the rest of the 'red states' and laugh at how
                 Kerry is *supposed to be up 15 points in all those battle
                 ground states but is either tied or losing.
                 \_ Not according to Zogby.
        \_ Bush/Powell 2004 - Powell/Rice 2008
        \_ Powell + (anybody *other* than Bush/Cheney) would win easily.
        \_ What's all this Powell stuff?  I thought we decided Powell was just
           the token minority on the Bush team and sold out his principles
           when he outright lied to the UN about WMD?  I'm confused.  Who are
           we supposed to hate today?
           \_ Who's smearing the oppostition with labels and not engaging
              in honest debate now?

John McCain (Photo: AP) A hypothetical Kerry/McCain pairing holds a 14-point advantage over President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, nearly double the 8-point lead Kerry has alone over Bush. the latest CBS News poll, 49% to 41%, but one of the names currently bandied about as a running mate for him - Republican Sen. John McCain - gives Kerry an even larger edge when added to the ticket. McCain has continued to face questions about joining his fellow Vietnam veteran Kerry on a ticket, despite having insisted that he is not interested in doing so. Americas voters, meanwhile, do have interest in such a bi-partisan slate: a hypothetical Kerry/McCain pairing holds a 14-point advantage over President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, nearly double the 8-point lead Kerry has alone over Bush. However, the addition of McCain brings many more veterans to the Democratic camp: tested one-on-one against Bush, Kerry loses to Bush among veterans, 54% to 41%. With Kerry and McCain together, the two tickets split the veteran vote. Independent voters, too, move to the Kerry/McCain ticket: 51% of them support Kerry over Bush, while 57% would back a Kerry/McCain ticket. Views of McCain Among those voters who have an opinion or know of John McCain, opinions of the Senator are overwhelmingly favorable. Republican voters, meanwhile, are more likely than Democrats to view the Senator in a negative light: 16% of them do, compared to just 4% of Democrats and 8% of Independents. Moreover, the Republican McCain has far higher favorable ratings than the Vice-Presidential nominee on the GOP side, Dick Cheney. The Vice-President elicits more negative than positive opinions from those familiar with him and, like the President, his negative ratings are up from last month. Despite four years in office, however, Cheney remains unknown to, or elicits no opinion from, more than one-third of voters. Senator John Edwards Adding one of John Kerry's former nomination rivals to the Democratic ticket, North Carolina Senator John Edwards, also helps Kerry, though to a lesser extent than does McCain. Edwards' name has also been mentioned by many as a potential running mate, and a Kerry/Edwards ticket would give the Democrats a ten-point margin over the incumbent Republicans, 50% to 40% -- a slight gain for Kerry on his eight-point one-on-one lead over Bush. This poll was conducted among a nationwide random sample of 1,113 adults interviewed by telephone May 20-23, 2004. The error due to sampling could be plus or minus three percentage points for results based on the entire sample.
