PRESIDENT Bush has surged to a six-point lead in his battle to stay at the White House amid a backlash against election rival John Kerry among women voters.
Senator Kerrys popularity plunged after he singled out vice-president Dick Cheneys daughter as a lesbian in the final head-to-head TV debate.
The comment while answering a question on beliefs about homosexuality enraged her family.
Mum Lynne Cheney demanded an apology after accusing Kerry of a tawdry political trick.
Bush now leads his Democrat challenger by 50 points to 44 his strongest lead for three weeks, according to a poll by US magazine Newsweek.
Tough-talking Bush is more popular with women and dominates among Americans aged 30 to 49. Kerry is ahead among pensioners.
He suffered a further blow yesterday as Bill Clinton recovering from heart surgery confirmed he would make few appearances in the run-up to the November 2 poll. Kerry had banked on the ex-president encouraging Democrats to go to the polls.
Typical of those Rush Limbaugh says can't give a legitimate reason for voting for John (this is NOT a good man) Kerry.
Obviously you do not live in or near Massachusetts.
I saw 3 shows this am ... Fox News Sunday, Matthews, and Meet the Press ... all talked about it and it was especially noteworthy how the women Matthews had on responded to the Kerry comment ... VERY negative, even Campbell Brown.
and (4) hope is on the way (i have a PLAN)
can YOU think of anything nice to say about his wife?
her nice temper, her fashionable hair, her loving embrace when K tries to kiss her?
i think you are holding K to an unreasonablly high standard.
Carville may be right. Hilary REALLY wants to win, so maybe carville and baby begala fed the lesbian line to kerry to better hilary's chances.
carville just wasn't telling the whole story in his quotation.
yeah, but he first voted FOR the baby seal before he clubbed it to death.
My wife agrees with your point completely.
I sure hope so! I also noticed he never even mentioned his wife's name during the wives question as well.
Who would have guessed that Kerry's fatal hubris would come as a result of the tag team gay bashing by Edwards, Kerry and Mrs. Edwards.
Politics is unpredictable.
Seemingly ABC gets access to eLIZ edwards. They have been reporting her comments regularly.
What a wonderful influence he is on those selfish girls.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I simply can not stand to see this man's face. I hate his voice, but seeing his face is so disgusting.
Great tagline! I hope you're right.
I didn't know that.
Despicable.
There IS talk about a Constitutional amendment. He could be behind that.
I would also be ecstatic to see him serve as anything on the president's cabinet or as a Congressman.
