EVERY SINGLE VOTE COUNTS
Kos makes a good point: No matter what state you’re in, Kerry needs every vote:
Now I know Bush didn’t win the popular vote in 2000. We all know that. And we all know he governed as though he had a 400-EV-mandate. But fact is, a president-elect Kerry who loses the popular vote […]

STILL COVERING UP
What they don’t want you to see before the election:
One last chapter of the investigation by the Sept. 11 commission, a supplement completed more than two months ago, has not yet been made public by the Justice Department, and officials say it is unlikely to be released before the presidential election, even though […]

THRIFTY
That Rick Santorum - always looking out for the taxpayers:
Penn Hills School District records show bills paid with local taxpayers’ money for U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum’s children to attend a cyber charter school total more than $100,000. Since the 2001-2002 school year, at least three Santorum children have been attending a cyber charter school.

THE OCTOBER SURPRISE
Billmon’s back, and he says OBL is obviously a Bush booster:
John Kerry could, and probably will, use the Osama tape to remind the country that, three years and two wars later, the king of the evildoers, the man Sheriff Bush vowed to smoke out of his hole, is still roaming around free somewhere. […]

The Rude Pundit whole-heartedly endorses John Kerry:
Yeah, yeah, this is gonna be a down-on-the-knees-Kerry-supportin-hummer of an entry, but the Rude Pundit keeps talking to people who sigh and say, “I guess I’m gonna vote for Bush” because they can’t bring themselves to vote for Kerry. They see him as weak. They see him as a […]

YET ANOTHER SIGN
I ordered dinner from the local pizza place, and the young guy who delivered it was wearing a “Teamsters for Kerry” button.
“Oh, nice button,” I said.
“Thanks,” he said, grinning.
“Just make sure you get the vote out,” I said.
“I always do.”
So I gave him a $2 tip. What the hell.

SEEN THE LIGHT
This happened down the road from my house in Lower Makefield, a town that has a lot of high-income New York commuters. (In fact, several of the airline pilots who died on 9/11 lived there.) This should change a few minds:
A Lower Makefield woman said she received a rude awakening Wednesday when she […]

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?
Michael Moore at a protest rally in Ft. Lauderdale today:
And he assured Republicans they would benefit equally from a Kerry administration.
“When the Democrats receive health-care benefits, we’ll let the Republicans receive it too,” Moore said. “When the children of Democrats come home from Iraq, we’ll let the children of Republicans come […]

LIVE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
Hmmm. Apparently bin Laden says the attacks on the U.S. were much worse than originally planned (they were supposed to be completed within 20 minutes, he said) because Bush was listening to a child reading a book about a goat instead of responding.
Funny. We were thinking the same thing.
I’m waiting to […]

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Stuck on the NJ Turnpike all day, where Kerry bumperstickers outnumbered Bush bumperstickers aboout 40 to 1.
And remember, a lot of people have no idea how to get campaign bumperstickers. So I imagine many people would gladly slap one on the car if they had one.

HE’S NOT STUPID, HE’S EVIL
From a Texas reader, this fascinating article:
Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.
“He was thinking […]

DOH
This is why I have a brain like a sieve:
Stressful situations in which the individual has no control were found to activate an enzyme in the brain called protein kinase C, which impairs the short-term memory and other functions in the prefrontal cortex, the executive-decision part of the brain, says Dr. Amy F. T. Arnsten […]

WHY WE’RE FIGHTING
Bob Herbert:
Not long ago I interviewed a soldier who was paralyzed from injuries he had suffered in a roadside bombing in Iraq. Like so many other wounded soldiers I’ve talked to, he expressed no anger and no bitterness about the difficult hand he’s been dealt as a result of the war.
But when I […]

NOT HIS FAULT, EVER
Krugman:
The story of Al Qaqaa has brought out the worst in a campaign dedicated to the proposition that the president is infallible - and that it’s always someone else’s fault when things go wrong. Here’s what Rudy Giuliani said yesterday: “No matter how you try to blame it on the president, the […]

LESS THAN WARM BUT HEY, WE’LL TAKE IT
The Economist endorses Kerry. Via One Caveat:
After three necessarily tumultuous and transformative years, this is a time for consolidation, for discipline and for repairing America’s moral and practical authority. Furthermore, as Mr. Bush has oftensaid, there is a need in life for accountability. He has refused to impose […]
