from the article: "two of America's leading news organizations (who poll together) are about to release some horserace numbers that are going to suggest a tight race and tease out the 'Kerry closes the gap with momentum' storyline for which the mainstream press hungers. (As Joe Lockhart would say, EVERYONE in Washington knows about these numbers)

I wonder which polls are showing the "closing of gap" and what not.
I do not understand how the UN speach was a lead ballon. I thought it was great. Rush was right. Had it been Clinton or anyone else, it would have been an "incredible" speach.
I wonder what stratgery the Bush people have to push the lead back out. I guess I was hoping to see a Kerry implosion based on what he has been saying and acting (dont tell me the letterman performance was good, it was painful).
Best of all, though, we still have the debates coming up. Of course the interesting trick in there is that the debate commission does not want to sign documents saying they will stick to rules. Fascinating.
