Who's Badnarik?
Doesn't really matter though, since any vote not put on Kerry is one vote closer to re-electing Bush. |

Isn't Badnarik one of the more religious nutjobs? It's good he is there, otherwise TK probably would be voting for Bush. |

Ah, my bad. But I'm guessing that he is pulling TK's vote away from Bush, not from Kerry. If that is the case, I'm all for it.
However, I'm wondering whether TK will still hold up to what he said given the tie of Bush and Kerry. |

I'm not so sure these polling data are as accurate as people think they are.
There are alot of people, especially in the 18-21 range (who were to young to vote in 2k) who don't own any telephone except a cell phone. You can't get public access to cellphone numbers for things like polls and telemarketing....
I myself had my land-line shut off a couple years ago, and exclusively use a cellphone. Got a plan that has unlimited minutes, no roaming, and no longdistance fees for anywhere in the continental US. Why have a land-line on top of that?
I suspect that the large majority of those younger people will vote Kerry. No data to back that up, just my own recent return to school has pretty clearly shown me that most of the college students at my school are voting Kerry.
Edit: off topic! sorry.... hehe |

| My main point with that was to point out that there is a block of voters that the pollsters can't get to and ask questions. In these polls with a 2-3 point difference, and an error margin at 4-5 points.... the young voter could have a suprise impact on the election this year. |

Oh I got a doctorate for 6 bucks from the Universal Life Church, after my free ordaining as a minister (was free with 12$ friends ordainment)
So am I a valid scientific source? If not I can still do funerals. |

That says it all. If they take Mr. Hovind as a reliable source then they might as well use Dr. Suess to support a young earth. What really scares me is that Mr. Hovind claims to have been a high school science teacher. I would have pulled my kid out of that class in the blink of an eye. |

That's why I'm sure tkster will pronounce Jimi as winner of the debate, even though you are in reality. |

I'm interested to see how they argue against the HERVs. Should be amusing at the least.
Possibly as amusing as these idiots accepting that Hovind and Baugh are credible sources.
If I get my friend to issue me a degree from his imaginary school, can I be a credible source also? |
