While I was playing around with the EV map plugging in various states this is what I came up with as I see it today. Bush States = TX(34), LA(9), OK(7), AR(6), MS(6), AL(9), GA(15), SC(8), NC(15), TN(11), KS(6), NE(5), SD(3), ND(3), MT(3), WY(3), MO(11), ID(11), KY(8), VA(13), WV(5), AK(3), AZ(10), CO(9), UT(5), NV(5), ID(4), NM(5), FL(27) Total = 259 Kerry States = CA(54), OR(7), WA(11), NY(31), VT(3), ME(3), RI(4), MA(12), CT(7), DE(3), MD(10), DC(3), IL(21), Total = 171 Remaining States = HI(4), MN(10), WI(10), IA(7), MI(17), OH(20), PA(21), NJ(15) NH(4) Bush has roughly 259 EV's and needs 12 which...

The gist from RealClearPolitics today: Bush gains a point in the Washington Post tracking poll, but still trails by one point; Rasmussen's robots have Bush up 2, Zogby (urgh) has Bush up 1; TIPP has Bush up 4; ICR has Bush up 3. Detroit News has Kerry up 1 in Michigan, and two polls show Bush up in Missouri, but maybe a little closer than Team Bush would prefer. I am also informed that Susan Estrich recently said on Fox News that this evening CBS will release a poll showing Kerry up 6 in Florida. She reportedly added that the...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Administration and European officials are signaling that a major military action may not come anytime soon, even as U.S. troops, warplanes and ships gather in the Gulf region. Meanwhile, Taliban soldiers were reported Friday to be taking heavy weapons into the mountains of Afghanistan to await an assault. There were growing signs that the coalition the United States is assembling for the anti-terrorism campaign is still struggling to decide exactly what to do

Bush administration officials said yesterday that a military strike against Osama bin Laden and his supporters in Afghanistan is not imminent, citing the need to gain better intelligence about their whereabouts. "I think it can't be stressed enough that everybody who is waiting for military action . . . needs to rethink this thing," Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz told reporters after briefing NATO in Brussels. These comments and similar remarks by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at a briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday are the clearest indication yet that the administration will be taking a more deliberate ...

As you longtime listeners know, I am forever your thick-skinned Maha Rushie. Those of you who know me know I am a harmless, lovable fuzzball, and you know that I could fill weeks of programming detailing the insults that have been spewed at me by liberals. These are the same liberals who supposedly love mankind and celebrate diversity and respect talent and yet hate me - even though I am part of mankind, I am diverse, and I am talented. But what I have a tough time handling is when these snobs, these liberals, these pretenders, these decadent decedents who ...

WASHINGTON -- Last week, I watched President Bush make a speech before a group of newspaper editors here. Then I saw the press coverage. I'd have to say that the picture you're getting is missing some pieces. For one thing, you're not seeing how unsure of himself George W. Bush appeared to be -- how guarded, how tense, even programmed. Or how uncertain about important issues.

NEW YORK (AP) -- One-time presidential candidate John McCain warned on Saturday that the country may be opening a dangerous option by deciding an election through legal appeals. "I am concerned about whether we are establishing a new precedent in American politics, and that is that we just have legal appeal after legal appeal after legal appeal," the Republican Senator from Arizona told members of a Staten Island Republican club. McCain was the keynote speaker at the brunch gathering of the Molinari Republican Club, also addressed by New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari. The ...

What if Jeb Bush asked K. Harris to recues herself leaving the door open for him to appoint an acting SoS who could then certify the results tomorrow and that person would only be doing what the 'law' requires. Then Harris nor the Election Commission would be in contempt. Any thoughts?
