Goodness, he hasn't been so quick to move since that time he fled his photo opportunity at Wendy's for his own private gourmet feast.

Gore "never declared victory, an omission Kerry's advisers - many of whom worked for Gore - now believe created a sense of inevitability in voters' minds about Bush's presidency," AP reported.

Premature Expectation

Kerry's mouthpiece Stephanie Cutter said, "We will be ready to hit the ground running and begin a fresh start in this country, given that so many critical issues are before us."

Kerry's squad of election thieves, in addition to all the voter registration fakers and those Democrat judges who are allowing the fraud, includes six "'SWAT teams' of lawyers and political operatives [that] will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders," AP reported.

'Big Cause for Concern'

But should the Massachusetts leftist be so sure of his chances when even many of his own supporters expect him to fail?

The Washington Times noted today, "While the various national polls show that voters prefer the president over Mr. Kerry by an average of four points, those same surveys place Mr. Bush some 20 points ahead on the question of which candidate is expected to win."

A fourth of Kerry's supporters who predicted the outcome of the election thought he would lose, according to polls by Fox News and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics. Only 1 in 18 of Bush's supporters thought the president would lose, the Times reported.

Vicki Morwitz, a professor at New York University, warned: "This could be a big cause of concern for Kerry. If people really think Bush is going to win, they may have a slight tendency to shift their preference and ultimately vote for Bush, even though they were a Kerry supporter to begin with."

Even Mark Halperin, the anti-Bush political director of ABC "News," agreed. "If more people (regardless of whom they support) don't start telling pollsters that they believe Kerry will win, he probably can't," he wrote.
