Things are looking bad for Bush.  The polls are swinging hard towards Kerry and the GOP is being swarmed with new Dem voter registrations.

Kerry has been trouncing a tired sounding Bush in his recent speeches, turning the presidents own words into a comdemnation of his career.

From Reuters:

Bush on Wednesday accused Kerry of opportunism, saying: "A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as commander in chief ... that is part of a pattern of a candidate who will say anything to get elected."


Kerry threw the words back at the president 24 hours later, announcing he was going "to apply the Bush standard" and declaring: "Mr. President, I agree with you."

"George Bush jumped to conclusions about 9/11 and Saddam Hussein," he said. "George Bush jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction and he rushed to war without a plan for the peace. George Bush jumped to conclusions about how the Iraqi people would receive our troops. He not only jumped to conclusions, he ignored the facts he was given."


Almost drowned out by a thunderous wave of foot stomping from thousands of supporters packed into a University of Toledo arena, Kerry added: "I hope George Bush can hear that. That is the rumble of change coming at him."

UPDATE:

NYT is now frontpaging this story:

Video Shows G.I.'s at Weapon Cache

A videotape made by a television crew with American troops when they opened bunkers at a sprawling Iraqi munitions complex south of Baghdad shows a huge supply of explosives still there nine days after the fall of Saddam Hussein, apparently including some sealed earlier by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Hmm... you really think things are looking bad for bush?  I see it as the opposite.  I wonder why that is, I guess we're both just blinded by our partisinship.

Actually I was basing my opinion on the string of news stories about Bush, and the fact that more people are expecting Kerry to win now according to this site.

At tradesports.com you can bet on the election.  For months Bush was favored heavily to win.  Now for the past few days Kerry closed about a 20 pt gap, and as of right now the Market Favors Kerry to Win.  This is a big deal.  No one bets the market unless they have a reason to do so.  The fact that people are willingly betting on Kerry winning is a very good sign for the candidate.  As I said, for months the market felt Bush was going to win.  Not anymore.  But you never know things may change in a few days.  I just  had to further explain why I felt things "were looking bad for Bush."
