Ping!
Bush really needs to make his ultra liberal voting record a bigger issue. Lee Atwater would already have this guy sinking by now. Here is a man who is to the left of Ted Kennedy. I think in the last six weeks of the election they should start running comical adds on his record. I think it would really work in these critical swing states.
Good post! But I'm surprised they left out Kerry's voting record on the marriage penalty tax.
