President Bush declared winner of Bobblection 2004
BROCKTON - Baseball fans went to the polls Monday in seven different ballparks in seven different states, participating in Bobblection 2004, a first-of-its kind promotion being sponsored by The Goldklang Group.
When the polls closed at 9 p.m. (ET), The Goldklang Group announced that President George W. Bush defeated Senator John Kerry in the voting, winning four of the seven states participating in the election.
“This appears to be an early indicator of how the public will vote in November,” Goldklang Group Senior Director Jeff Goldklang said. “Only, the public won’t leave voting booths with bobble-head dolls on Election Day.”
The Charleston (S.C,) RiverDogs, Fort Myers (Fla.) Miracle, Hudson Valley (N.Y.) Renegades, St. Paul (Minn.) Saints, Brockton (Mass.) Rox, Sioux Falls (S.D.) Canaries and New Haven County (Conn.) Cutters took part in the unique promotion.
Each club gave away a number of bobble-head dolls (ranging from 1,000-2,500), half of which were the Republican candidate, President George W. Bush, and the other half the Democratic nominee, Senator John F. Kerry.
As fans passed through stadium turnstiles, they were directed to election booths. Once inside, they had the option of casting their vote for President Bush or Senator Kerry. For participating in the voting, they received the bobble-head doll of their choosing.
President Bush took Charleston, Fort Myers, Hudson Valley, and Sioux Falls. Senator Kerry won Brockton, New Haven County, and St. Paul.
Bobblexit polling revealed early in the evening that the President had an advantage in the voting, with baseball fans in favor of his policies on important Bobbleissues such as: wood vs. aluminum bats, natural grass vs. artificial turf, The War: Yankees vs. Red Sox or Cubs vs. Cardinals, and switch-hitters.
The Goldklang Group is operated by Marv Goldklang and partner Mike Veeck. Known for a “Fun is Good” attitude and “Off the Wall” antics, clubs associated with the Group have repeatedly made national headlines for their promotional endeavors.

Rudy can't play second fiddle to anybody. How about head of Intelligence Community?

Watch the bouncy-bounce!
Matthew Dowd, the Bush/Cheney campaign chief pollster, ginned expectations a month or so ago for the Democratic convention by predicting a 15% bounce for Kerry, calling it a historic average. Some said he was deliberately inflating the bounce so that even if Kerry got a 8-10% bounce, it would be seen as a failure. He was raising expectations to an unattainable level.
Today, Dowd went the other way, lowering expectations to an eminently attainable level. He noted that, "historically," the incumbent gets 2/3rds of the bounce from his convention that the challenger gets from his. 2/3rds of 0 is 0.

One would think that his spin would be rather easy to prove or disprove if you had historical data from the first poll after each convention. If he was full of it, any number of talking heads or pollsters out there would have called him on it.

 That's some mighty fine spin you've got right there, AL.
I bet Dowd's walking around with a big grin on his face for out foxing the foxes.
