Wow! Just mentioned by Judy Woodruff. Looking for original source.
What's with the use of the word -- "violently" ... sort of a strange adjective to use in describing a poll on the other end of the spectrum, don't ya think?
Incumbents usually win unless the economy goes into a major depression. And a challenger usually has a unified party with an irresistable case for change pushing him forward. Neither of the latter things is true this year. Kerry's pushing a boulder up a mountain for all the good it will do him.
sKerry will be Terminated.
I didn't know what she looked or sounded like until 3 or so months ago. My first view of her was on Booknotes. The venue was a book reading for Michael Kelly (? the reporter who was killed in Iraq), she showed up extremely late and in hushed tones read her appointed part. For goodness sake, Bob Woodward and Bob Schiffer (also there to read) managed to be on time, Dowd was 45 minutes late. She's just so important!
This past weekend she was on Tim Russert (that cnbc show on the weekends) and she was wearing a very low cut top and trying to look coy. They filmed her cruising around The NYT's (in said low cut top) going about her very important day.
Switching around the radio dial a week or so ago I heard Howard Stern raving about how "hot" she is, he had no idea! Stern said he always thought she was an old bag.
And apropos of nothing... I'm wondering what Howard will say about the speech Rudy gave. To tow the party line for CBS he's going to have to claim Rudy's a liar too and that'll be difficult. Stern has told his audience in never wavering fashion that Rudy walks on water.
And Zell took care of the burial.
Besides, Republicans have stumbled badly in three of the last four electoral landslides: 1972 was followed by Watergate and the worst recession since 1929, 1984 by Iran-Contra and a partial rollback of the 1981 tax cuts (leading to the banking crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s), and the 1994 Congressional sweeps were counteracted by Clinton outmaneuvering Gingrich, not to mention the reaction to the Oklahoma City bombing, which Slick Willie and the MSM parlayed into a hit on everyone to the right of center, from neo-conservatives to militia types.
Never, never underestimate our enemies.
Cahill has probably experienced violence recently packaged in the form of Teresa so it's on her mind?
Just checking in......how big is the bounce? Do you think it's for real?
You are most welcome. Great news, indeed, even to this very big poll skeptic.
Security, not the economy, is the number 1 issue and that means BUsh will not only win, he may win a mandate.
JMHO of course.
As to the Philadelphia turnout, I have been asking for a specific ever since this was first stated , in late 2000. No one has ever come through. I looked at the vote and registration figures by precinct for Philly and could not find a single example. Gore getting 99-100% of the votes cast, YES. Total votes equalling 99-100% (or more) of the registered voters, NO.
I would be happy to be proved wrong, but you've got to name the precincts and data to do it.

Here's the link to the original New York Daily News article on the dual registrations. It says that it could show that around 1,000 had voted twice in at least one election.
Ahhh.. my mind was cloudy.. I remembered this quote.. but not quite well enough to remember where it came from. Thanks for jogging my memory.
WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) leads Democrat John Kerry, 52 percent to 41 percent, while independent Ralph Nader got 3 percent in a national poll taken during the Republican National Convention that ended Thursday.
The Time magazine poll of 926 likely voters was taken Aug. 31-Sept 2, during the convention and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Bush had 46 percent, Kerry had 44 percent and Nader 5 percent in a Time poll taken just before the convention.
Veteran pollsters say that polls taken during convention weeks should be viewed with caution because they are conducted at a point when public opinion is focused on only one party and a bounce in the numbers could be short-lived.
However, they also noted that polls taken during conventions can sometimes foreshadow a longer lasting bounce. Much of the poll was taken before President Bush's speech on Thursday night.

Can we nominate Kerry for another Purple Heart? This one had to have hurt!
Not to be crass, but Judy may need to get a bed in the hospital with Mr. Clinton.
There you go. I knew Bush was up by at least ten after this convention. Kerry's own actions confirmed that there was panic at commune central. Susan Estrich was unhinged in the last couple of days. The media has completely lost it, even more than usual.
Bush is going to mop the floor with Hanoi's stooge.
Goodnight Johnboy!
