    The commander of the US army in Europe has warned that Nato must remain united in the face of a "real threat" from Russia. "It's not an assumption.

They assert that emotion for and against President Bush is running so high that voters' minds are mostly made up. We swing voters seem to be on the endangered species list here in 2004 and so, the conventional wisdom goes, are in a poor position to "swing" much of anything. Well, not so fast.
