8/11    Looks like that Swift Boat slander is working real well for
        you guys. Keep it up, please. I am serious:
        http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Presidential_Tracking_Poll.htm
        \_ I'm not interested in slander.  I think Kerry's
           post-Vietnam activies deserve publicity and vetting.
            \_ Cool!  So let's open the book on Bush's war non-record
               and concealment of same non-record, and his use of
               controlled substances.
           \_ I agree. I think the race should mostly be about this,
              but the Republicans have bizarrely fallen for the bait
              Kerry provided for them at the convention...
              \_ So you approve of Kerry and VVAW meeting with the
                 Vietcong and NVA in Paris?  This might be
                 equivalent to today Michael Moore going to meet
                 Osama Bin Laden to negotiate terms of a truce.
                 \_ Not really, but didn't Nixon do the same thing
                    with Kissinger? And Micheal Moore doesn't have
                    the authority to negotiate a truce, anymore than
                    the VVAW did.

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a

        \_ Please give more context, thanks.
           \_ Apparently the McCain campaign keeps bringing this up.
              \_ if this election is won or lost on whether McCain can convince

        \_ How was Clark questioning McCain's record?  In what way was this
           "swift boating?"
           \_ It wasn't.  The right is just filled with Righteous Anger with

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

Tuesday April 13, 2004-Once again, the race for the White House is tied. In the latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll, President George W. The Presidents Job Approval is at 51 As you would expect, the President leads among men, but trails among women. Bush also lead among white voters, but trails among minority voters. Eighty-three percent 83 of Bush voters say they are certain they will vote for him. Later this week, Rasmussen Reports will release state polling data, including a look at the Presidential race in Florida and the new dynamics of the Senate race in Colorado. Tomorrow we release updated ratings for the Presidents handling of the economy and the situation in Iraq . The Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern. Just 26 of American voters believe the terrorists are winning , down from 30 last week. A reduction in pessimism may also be the best way to describe recent gains in the nations economic confidence. Forty-three percent 43 of Americans now believe the recession is over . Thats up from 37 before the report of strong job creation in March. Sign up for our free Weekly Update Real Clear Politics offers a nice commentary on how to deal with the avalanche of polling data coming your way in 2004. More than anything else, they suggest focusing on the Presidents Job Approval rating. Heres part of their analysis: As a crude measuring stick for the state of the presidential race, an over 50 job approval for the President should translate into a Bush victory. A 45 - 49 job approval will mean a close race, but I would give President Bush the advantage. Our most recent statewide poll finds Kerry leading Bush 50 to 44 in Washington . That result is almost identical to Al Gores margin of victory in that state four years ago. Rasmussen Reports data also shows Bush leading in Missouri , Kerry leading in Iowa , and a toss-up in Minnesota . Other recent Rasmussen Reports state polling shows Kerry leading Bush by 4 points in both Michigan and Ohio while the candidates are essentially tied in Pennsylvania . The national telephone survey of 1,500 Likely voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports over the past three nights. Margin of sampling error is /- 3 percentage points with a 95 level of confidence.
