I have been reading Kos for some time now and have, based on the recent polls and news about the election, become convinced of a Kerry win tomorrow. Yet, if you listen to some of the freepers, you get the sense that they feel the same way that many of us do - except that they are convinced that Shrub is going to win. They are looking at the same polls, the same internals and, after listening to Rush Limbaugh, are convinced that the internals are looking good. How can they be in such a different state of reality? Check this shit out, from freerepublic:
"The Internals of the Polls are Great for Bush

I just finished listening to Rush regarding the polls. The news is bad for Kerry. The pollsters are doing everything to conceal just how bad it is. The internals of the polls are incredibly positive for Bush, such as something like 85% of the undecideds are leaning toward Bush.
The other amazing thing was Rush played the entire Bin Laden speech WITH translation. And several times without mentioning Kerry's name, Bin Laden said things about Bush word for word that Kerry had said, such as Bush sitting in the class room with second graders as the towers of 9/11 were falling.
Rush played each one of the things Bin Laden said about Bush and then played Kerry saying exactly the same words. There were numerous others, and the point is that Bin Laden was using Kerry's words to attack Bush.
This is not new, but Bin Laden restated that the towers were hit because of the Israeli-U.S. allegiances.
I wasn't able to listen to the entire thing, but it is phenomenal. You can listen on line at Rush's site."
Ok, now back to reality. But seriously, we are all looking at the same data and the same news reports and are interpreting things so differently, what gives? GOP Denial?
