He said the most recent polls show President George W. Bush was slightly ahead in Florida and Ohio and added -- to a swell of applause from the crowd -- "and as of this afternoon, Senator (John) Kerry is ahead by one point in Pennsylvania."

...
Women voters are important as well, he said. "Women will be the swing vote in this election." Traditionally, men have been slightly more Republican while slightly more women have been Democrats, he explained. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he said, "soccer moms have turned into safety moms" with a greater focus on homeland security issues pulling more of them into the Republican camp.

3. How is this "stumpin for bush"?

He was just reading what was handed to him I guess. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I can't see how this is stumping for bush.
