HIGHEST OR LOWEST?

Sen. John Edwards (D-NC):   "This administration is at war with working people."  (David N. Goodman, "Edwards Rallies Union Members For Democratic Ticket," The Associated Press, 9/12/04)

DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe:  "If you lie about your military record, you lie about creating jobs. You lie about the deficit. You lie about fully funding education. You lie about a real prescription-drug benefit."  (Jacob M. Schlesinger and Greg Hitt, "Campaign Is Becoming A Character Study," The Wall Street Journal, 9/13/04)

Media Fund Ad: "The first [Media Fund] spot makes an explicitly racial appeal. 'Bush said he would leave no child behind. But he wasn't talking about your child,' the narrator says. '"  (Howard Kurtz, "Anti-Bush Ads Geared To Young Blacks Use 'Sharper Message,'" The Washington Post, 9/13/04)
