8/26    More from LAT polling.  "Kerry trails in key states"
        http://tinyurl.com/3p3h8 (nynewsday.com)
        There's a bit about margin of error, but Ohio is outside their stated
        margin, Wisconsin barely makes it inside and Missouri is 2 points
        inside the margin in Bush's favor.  I can hear $200 draining away
        somewhere....  :-)
        \_ Maybe we could start a CSUA presidential race betting pool.
           Losers have to donate their bets to the CSUA.  Between the
           $200 guy and the Bush takes CA guy, maybe we could raise enough
           to upgrade soda.
           \_ I'm betting you're looser than yermom.
           \_ Maybe you could do what I did and give money to democratic
              groups instead.

        \_ Facts don't matter to 1/3 of the voters. Emotions do.
           I'm rooting for Obama but I know McCain is going to win. Oh well.
           \_ *sad face*
           \_ If the election was held today, I think Obama would just squeak

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a
        talking point?  I like arugula.
        \_ 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
                 Americans that Obama is a weird arugula

6/30    That Wesley Clark, class act right there.

        \_ 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
              nowhere to focus it.

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.

US man captured in Afghanistan may be freed Los Angeles Times; The Los Angeles Times is a Tribune Co newspaper August 27, 2004 WASHINGTON -- President George W Bush has moved past Sen. John Kerry in three hotly contested Midwestern battleground states despite continued doubts about the country's direction and the president's policies, Los Angeles Times polls have found. Bush has opened leads within the margin of error in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri. The surveys show Kerry has difficulty converting a desire for change into support for his candidacy. He trails even though a majority of voters in all three states said the country is not better off because of Bush's policies and "needs to move in a new direction." The Times Poll contacted more than 500 voters in each state from Aug. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. In Wisconsin and Ohio, a group of Vietnam veterans has run ads accusing Kerry of lying to win medals in Vietnam. In Wisconsin, 55 percent of voters said they thought Kerry had earned his medals, while 16 percent believed he had misrepresented his service. In Missouri, 54 percent said they accepted Kerry's version, 17 percent sided with the critics. In Ohio, 51 percent said they accepted his version while 20 percent did not.
