At the moment it’s Kerry 72 to 28 on the MSNBC poll

And it’s Kerry 84, Bush 12 on the CNN poll. 4% say it was an even match.

MSNBC is semi controlling multiple voting with cookies, so the result is more credible, but CNN is not. It’s probably going to be 99 to 1 by the morning.

Kerry must be listening to Randi Rhodes, he used the line “Invading Iraq in response to 9/11 would be like Franklin Roosevelt invading Mexico in response to Pearl Harbor.”

Eisenhower’s Son Endorses Kerry

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

“As son of a Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is automatically expected by many that I am a Republican. For 50 years, through the election of 2000, I was. With the current administration’s decision to invade Iraq unilaterally, however, I changed my voter registration to independent, and barring some utterly unforeseen development, I intend to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry.” – JOHN EISENHOWER

New Voters Not Wanted in Ohio

Tuesday, September 28th, 2004

Ohio rejects 1000s of voter registration applications due to paper weight. An attempt to limit the number of new (likely Democrat) voter in this swing state. It’s ridiculous, the State itself sent out lightweight forms. “The ostensible reason for this order is to insure that the applications can make it through the postal system without being damaged. The Secretary didn’t point to any examples of voters who were stupid enough to mail regular weight paper as a postcard, nor did he cite examples of complaints from the Postal Service that this has been a problem. Never mind also that the applications he wants thrown out have already been delivered to the election boards safely.” Via Mefi, Reported in the Daily Kos
