Women account for some of the slight movement in the race....One of Bush's lines of attack has been to portray Kerry as a liberal — an effective criticism if it sticks, given the ideological makeup of likely voters

ABC is missing the ELEPHANT in the living here.

Yes, Bush painting Kerry as a liberal is working to a degree, but Kerry's erosion among women(and overall) can be directly tied to two Debate moments -- Mary Cheney and the WIFE question.

All the mothers gasped whenhe went after Cheney's daughter, and all the wives screamed when he put MOM over his wife.

I kinda felt that way. My gut reaction was what kind of loser cannot even say on National TV he loves his wife?

No, I believe the BIG ELEPHANT in the room which is missed by pollsters is the EVANGELICAL VOTE. Karl Rove has been working almost exclusively on these voters thru ministers for four years. Rover has said 3-4 million evangelicals stayed home in 2000.

In 9 states, there is a state constitutional amendment on "Same Sex Marriage" on the ballot in November. I can't remember which states, but Michigan is one of them. Does anyone here know which states are involved. I believe most of them are in the midwest.

The Bush team is counting on evangelical Christians putting them over the top like they did for Reagan in 1980. I know for certain that the churches are putting out an unprecedented effort to encourage their flocks to get out their & register to vote and to "VOTE THEIR VALUES" and how important this presidential election is for people of faith. In code: VOTE FOR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH.
