1. Yea!

In your face, Bush*.

2. The 2% Nader pulls from Kerry could decide this election, it's obvious

why the *'s want Nader on the ballots.

3. CNN - Greenfield and Dog Blitzer were just reviewing this poll

and said that although it's early, the worse thing for Bush in this poll is that his approval is at 45%.

They were also surprisingly tough on the Dixiecrat cracker Zig Zag Zellout saying that they saw Dems were had been basically back on their heels for the last week and a half, fighting mad and energized.

I was most comforted by this.

5. Aren't other polls claiming that Bush* is leading

My fear is that if they will convince most Americans that Bush* is ahead & then when the election happens - they can screw it up like Florida and claim he won (and had been ahead all along).
