The unseen voters?

The republican-leaning Gallup organization and other polling entities use some weird criteria known only to them and the hairy thunderer to pick their pollees (is that even a word?). I seriously doubt that they are talking to Olivia Smith, or her friends or family or friends of friends, because I'll bet the numbers would be a whole lot different.

Nov. 2 will be much more than Election Day for Oliva Smith, although the West Liberty woman plans to vote in what she calls the most important election of her lifetime.

" November 2nd is the anniversary of Bruce's death, and I hope to God the election turns out the way he would have wanted," Smith said about her husband, one of 15 Iowans killed in Iraq.
...
Bruce Smith, 41, died after a rocket attack on his helicopter west of Baghdad. That hasn't changed how Oliva Smith will vote - it has galvanized her opposition to the war and her plan to vote for Democrat John Kerry.

Granted that not every person who has had a casualty in the family from the Mess in Mesopotamia will vote for John Kerry or against Preznit Incipient Dementia, but you have to wonder how the numbers break out among the relatives of casualties, and those who are coming home with long-term injuries, a medical discharge and benefits that have been reduced to give the Chimp Base their tax-cuts.

Those would be some numbers to see indeed.

I apologize for my previous multiple post. I agree that Bush appears to have suffered some form of brain damage due to drug and alcohol abuse.
