"Bush advisers were described as ***stunned*** by how negative the
reviews were of the president's performance, which many of them
regarded
as not his best but not so bad."


Stunned that their candidate came across as a barely literate
nincompoop? Why? That's what he is...

I'd be worried about the internals Harry.

Nevermind, I'm sure you are.



I'm not a huge fan of polls, Wally, but...I do look at them. I think
the
latest Newsweek poll *may* well be indicating a shift. I hope so.

Newsweek changed their polling.... I wonder why

Poll Date... Repub....Dems....Indy....Men....Women
9/11/04........391........300......270......481....522
10/2/04........345........364......278......481....532


On 9/11/04 Newsweek Bush up 49-43.
On 10/2/04 Newsweek Kerry up 47-45.

Roughly........

20% MORE democrats sampled in the post debate poll and
12% LESS republicans sampled.

What is encouraging is that Bush was so bad during the debate, and I
mean really bad, and that 60+ million Americans saw how inept he was.
That will stick in the minds of those who are barraged with spin
commercials from the GOP in the coming weeks.

He *was* pretty bad during the debate. Very bad. I was watching one of
the Gore-Bush debates on C-Span tonight and Bush had a fantastic grasp
of what was going on in Federal education.
Oh well.


The debate this coming week should be interesting. Bush has tremendous
weaknesses on domestic policy issues. About all he will be able to talk
about are tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. He has no plan or vision for
the
future of this country, and no answers for the great challenges
confronting us.

I don't know what his answers are either, of course Kerry has no plan
except to weaken us in front of our enemies.

Now, hopefully he'll be able to be a bit more articulate but the
reality
is, he isn't very articulate.

True

And Kerry is.

True

In this troubling times, it helps to have an articulate POTUS.

It helps more to have one that is strong and doesn't pander to the
ever changing wind.

Oh ya, one that isn't a traitor.
