When the exit polling data showing Sen. John Kerry performing strongly leaked out this afternoon, it sent Wall Street into a tailspin. But as actual vote totals came in after the polls closed, it appeared the exit polls were inaccurate. The exit polls made it more difficult for television newscasters to project winners because of the conflicting data. Exit polls are surveys of voters leaving the polling places and are designed to provide data about what voters are thinking, rather than to provide evidence of trends in vote counts.

Sorry, I just don't. It's too close, and the entire thing is going to turn on voter turnout. As I've said, Democrats are a lot better at the turnout game than are Republicans. It's no mystery why. People more likely to vote Democrat are less likely to have a sense of independence and individuality. They're followers, and as followers they're easily herded. Bush's best chance is rain ... bad weather in the battleground states. Bad weather will suppress the Democratic vote. And just why is that? Think about it. The Democratic party is the party of dependency; dependency on government....

I have watched and listened to those who say they are followers of Jesus Christ espouse they're undying loyalty for John Kerry, and I'm reminded of a song we often sing, called "It's All About You, Jesus." To fit the pro-Kerry stance, perhaps the words should be changed to: It's all about me, Jesus, and all this is for me, for my comfort and my gain.

I was at the Westlake Village Barnes & Noble yesterday and true to form, the store was packed with anti-Bush books galore. I felt like I was walking into the DNC, not a bookstore. They didn't have Unfit for Command and they didn't know when any additional stock would arrive. Anyway, they had a display about Current Affairs/Politics on the first floor next to the Information Desk that had every conceivable "Bush is evil" book on the table. There was also a note about an appearance on August 23rd by Robert Scheer, co-author of The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told...

2004 GOP Primary EndorsementsU.S. Senate - John McCain sure has a lot of sympathies for liberal and Democrat causes and office holders. He has opposed almost everything conservatives hold dear. This summer alone, he has defended Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and has sided with homosexual activists over those who would defend traditional marriage. Recommendation: NONE

Pro-Kerry Groups Argue Vs. New FEC Limits Friday April 16, 2004 2:16 AM By SHARON THEIMER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawyers for groups whose activities in support of Democrat John Kerry have been challenged by President Bush's re-election campaign told election officials Thursday that their spending is legal. The Federal Election Commission is considering whether nonparty groups should be able to continue using soft money - corporate, union and unlimited donations - in congressional and presidential elections. A new campaign law broadly bans the use of soft money in federal elections, and the FEC is considering how far...
