Published Friday, October 27, 2000, in the San Jose Mercury News Still undecided? Then stay home BY ROBERT RENO WITH polls indicating something close to a tie, it is by now frighteningly clear that the presidential election will be decided by people who've told pollsters they're still undecided. So we must ask ourselves with more than usual interest: Just who are these insipid people who'll be deciding the fate of a great nation? More than a few of them I can recognize on sight. They're the people who drive too slow, make turns hesitantly and straddle lanes to the detriment ...

Pollster sees GOP triple win -- presidency, House and Senate Wednesday, 25 October 2000 22:33 (ET) Pollster sees GOP triple win -- presidency, House and Senate By MARTIN WALKER WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Republicans appear poised to pull off a triple victory, winning the White House by a comfortable three- or four-point margin, and maintaining their slim majorities in the Senate and House, says veteran pollster John Morgan. "There has been a natural Republican majority in the country since the South defected from the Democrats, and in the absence of a Ross Perot to siphon off some of those ...

October 23, 2000 Democrats Lose Their Edge in 'Dangerous Dozen' Open Seats When I began my "Dangerous Dozen," a ranking of vulnerable open seats, in January, I thought those seats would measure the overall change in the two parties' House prospects. I was wrong. Instead of helping me weed out races, my list has ballooned and reflects my growing uncertainty about November. The top five races on my list are likely to change party control. Races six through twelve are tossups and virtually interchangeable in my ratings. Ranking first on the list is a new entry, New York's 1st district. ...

The New Battleground StatesBush shows surprising strength in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and--are you sitting down?--Minnesota.BY THOMAS J. BRAYTuesday, October 24, 2000 12:01 a.m. The Minneapolis Star Tribune ran a front-page story last Friday about a poll showing that George W. Bush is leading Al Gore in Minnesota, after trailing by 10 points in the wake of the Democratic convention. "That's no misprint," the paper felt obliged to say. It quoted the Republican mayor of St. Paul, Norm Coleman, who heads Mr. Bush's campaign in the state: "In Minnesota?" said Mr. Coleman. "Whoa. Wow." Mr. Coleman's astonishment is understandable. After all, ...

MEMO: HASSLE HISPANICS Sacramento Update || Washington D.C. Update || Columnists & Editorials || Initiative Update MEMO: HASSLE HISPANICS By Raoul Lowery Contreras October 14, 2000   Remember when Vice President Al Gore berated opponent Bill Bradley for representing New Jersey in the U.S. Senate, a state, Gore said, where "racial profiling" started? Another Gore exaggeration, or little white lie? Racial profiling is the use of a person's skin color or ethnicity as a reason, perhaps the only reason, for law enforcement officers to stop people on public roads and places. Racial profiling actually originated in Tennessee. In 1865, in ...

Dan Lungren, Gore may share in a surprising turn of fortune By Bill Ainsworth October 23, 2000 Now that the debates are over, vice president Al Gore might be wondering how he managed to win the oral wrestling matches, but lose voter support. In California, there's a politician who might feel the vice president's pain -- but it's not his close political ally, Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. Instead, it's the man Davis defeated by a landslide two years ago, Republican Dan Lungren. Strange as it seems, Gore and Lungren, who come from different political parties, espouse very different political views ...

Nader fires salvos from Fresno Green Party presidential nominee blasts system. By John Ellis The Fresno Bee (Published October 22, 2000) It was vintage Ralph Nader on stage in Fresno Saturday afternoon. Speaking for well over an hour in the Tower Theatre -- a setting about as far away from a photo op as possible, on a stage devoid of political props such as a farmer facing low commodity prices, an elderly couple on Medicare or a student deep in debt -- the veteran consumer advocate and current Green Party presidential candidate delivered a blistering attack on the American ...

Gore absence worries state party Bottom of ticket may suffer as GOP ads go unanswered By John Marelius STAFF WRITER October 22, 2000 Is California going south on Al Gore? That prospect is suddenly being raised by public opinion polls indicating that the vice president's once-overwhelming lead over Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the campaign for president in California has shrunk as Republicans have started pouring money into a state once widely regarded as a lost cause. A prominent California Democratic strategist took the highly unusual step last week of publicly setting off the political fire alarm. "I think ...

HoustonChronicle.com -- http://www.HoustonChronicle.com | Section: Front page Oct. 22, 2000, 12:29AM Bush campaign sets sights on California Once solidly Gore's, state may be in play By R.G. RATCLIFFE Copyright 2000 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau AUSTIN -- With a renewed confidence, Republican George W. Bush's presidential campaign has launched an aggressive new strategy that, if successful, could lead to an Electoral College landslide over Democrat Al Gore. The combined strategy of advertising and on-the-ground campaigning is built on the belief that Louisiana and Ohio are now solidly Bush; Florida will be tight but has returned to Bush's victory column; and a quiet advertising ...

Recent research at several leading universities has led to a new classification of political idiocy aptly named, Gorons. Gorons are adults of seemingly normal intelligence, but who exhibit extreme forms of gullibility syndrome and who refuse, much like alcoholics, to acknowledge their affliction. Even though much research remains to be done, the Surgeon General has issued a WARNING and communicated the information below. The disease still has no complete cure, but manifests itself as follows: 1. Gorons sincerely believe that Vice President Gore is a true environmentalist, when he has an environmental disaster on his own farm: a polluting zinc ...

SQUEEZE HERE! for Britney's poll!

 Times & Free Press Opinion   Free Press Editorial Trivial, but . . . It's a trivial thing, maybe, that Vice President Al Gore Jr. repeatedly tells things that, well, just aren't really so. It was trivial when he claimed that he and wife Tipper were the models for characters in "Love Story." It was trivial when he claimed he "found" Love Canal, although two months before President Jimmy Carter had declared it a disaster area and offered to have the federal government buy its houses. It was trivial when Mr. Gore claimed to have invented the Internet, which ...

Student's PC seized after record industry complaint By Cecily BarnesStaff Writer, CNET News.com September 15, 2000, 10:05 a.m. PT URL: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-2783386.html update Campus police confiscated an Oklahoma State University student's computer after the Recording Industry Association of America notified the school that a person on campus was allegedly distributing copyrighted material. The 19-year-old's computer system--including monitor, keyboard, two CD burners, scanner and printer--was removed earlier this month from his dorm room after campus police determined he was operating an FTP server site that allowed visitors to download MP3 music files and even several full-length movies. A representative for the RIAA ...

Police investigating 20-adult brawl at T-ball game The Associated Press 9/1/00 8:59 PM MIAMI (AP) -- Nearly two dozen adults stormed a T-ball field and began brawling over an umpire's call as the 4- and 5-year-old players watched. Two coaches were suspended, and police are considering arrests.
