#11  I enjoy watching Ann in person more than I do reading her on paper. She's such a bitch and so quick witted. On paper it seems more over the top - in real time it's hilarious.

#10  After I finish the other books I am reading I will pick up her new one. I like to read Ann while sipping on a beer. It's like watch a lion tear apart it's kill. Can't wait for the nest one!

#7  So Newsweek tilts toward Kerry... this is news?

Bush/Rove need to seize the offensive and knock Kerry and the debate off the top of the news cycle. Ratchet it up in Iraq, the sooner the better.

Or make a national televised address on Iran, and draw the battle lines clearly: Kerry's for disarmament, Bush is for deterrence. This issue alone should decide the election for the swing voters.

#4  and for real cynics, Capt. Ed extracts from a CBS Marketwatch report that the Kerry campaign is buying big ad space at Newsweek online. Quid Pro Quo?

#3  Mike, check Charles' posting on LGF 10/2/04, "Newsweek Poll: Stacked?" . Newsweak, AKA Weaknews, decreased the GOP sample size by 12% while increasing the Dims sample by 21%. The sample size of "independents" was increased by about 3%. Hence the change in results. This is marching orders for the dims to rally and revive sKerry's campaign.

#2  The Gallup poll sampled only 800 likely voters instead of the standard 1000+. Rasmussen sampled 3,000 likely voters. I trust Rasmussen.

#1  ...I cannot find it now, but apparently the widely-trumpeted Newsweek poll that showed the lead disappearing had a sample weighted towards Democrats - the sample apparently was far from even.
