http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/a...RTICLE_ID=36893
Two new polls released over the weekend show Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., holding a lead over George Bush in the 2004 presidential race.

For the second time in two weeks, a Newsweek poll is showing Kerry beating Bush. Among registered voters, Kerry leads Bush 48 percent to 46 percent. Last week, it was 49 percent to 46 percent.

Meanwhile, in the Rasmussen Reports survey, John Kerry leads Bush 45 to 42 percent. Kerry took the lead for the first time Friday and expanded that lead the next day.
I think this intel failure and Bush refusal to fire folks has signed his defeat.Its now kerrys election to lose and he seems bent on doing just that.

I'll let you know what I think about the Bush/Whoever polls the 2nd week of November. These polls are only met to get the Democrats to vote for Kerry in the Primary..

In the presidential race, Kerry has accepted contributions from the same "special interests" he accuses Bush of being too cozy with: HMOs, drug companies and energy firms. He has raised nearly $27,000 from oil and gas companies, tops of the remaining Democratic candidates; $34,000 from health maintenance organizations, second to Dean; and $18,500 from pharmaceutical companies, third behind Dean and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.).
Notice how they put those factual tidbits near the end of the story? :lol

Pretty weak, DZ. Nothing about Botox?

John Kerry leads the race for the Democratic presidential nomination with the support 42 percent of Democrats, according to a national poll released Monday.

The Quinnipiac University poll also gave the Massachusetts senator the edge, 51 percent to 42 percent, in a head-to-head race with President Bush.

Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and retired Gen. Wesley Clark also emerge as formidable opponents, according to hypothetical matchups in the poll, which found a decline in Bush's approval numbers.

The poll, based on interviews with 1,001 adult Americans, including 562 likely voters, was conducted in the days after the New Hampshire primary.

The poll underscores both Kerry's momentum after his wins in New Hampshire and Iowa, and increased favorability among Democrats in general as they dominate political news with their primaries and steady criticism of Bush.

The general election is slightly more than nine months away and Bush has yet to launch his campaign in earnest, meaning the poll numbers are all but certain to shift.

When the 562 likely voters were asked for their choice from a Bush v. Kerry race, 53 percent of those picked Kerry, and 46 percent favored Bush.

When that same group was asked to pick between Edwards and Bush, the numbers were 49 percent for Edwards and 48 percent for Bush. With a Bush/Clark face-off, Bush was favored by 50 percent of those surveyed and Clark, 47 percent.

Pretty weak, DZ. Nothing about Botox? oh really:How is John Kerry's office like a subway? A: You have to put in coins to open gates!

Newsweek's Isikoff catches the Democratic in damage control over a lie when saying he did not meet notorious campaign contributor Johnny Chung (We do remember him don’t we?) weeks before Chung funneled him thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions. Chung had doors opened to him visa vee the Kerry office .Doors at the SEC--something Kerry later told the Boston Herald was "totally coincidental." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4121890/

Isikoff got a hand written note of Kerry’s to Chung that mentioned the prefundraiser meeting.A Kerry spokesman acknowledged that the senator may have met with Chung prior to the fund-raiser, but not in his Senate office.

Well Kerry denied meeting Chung at all so that is no excuse."The first time I met him [Chung] was there [at the Beverly

Hill fund-raiser]," Kerry said as reported by the Boston Globe in January .1998.According to Isikoff Kerry ostentatiously refuses PAC money but he conveniently and quietly goes about breaking his pledge to limit far larger soft money contributions:

[i]Though he has shunned PAC donations, which are limited to $5,000 apiece, the senator in 2001 formed a fund-raising group called the Citizen Soldier Fund, which brought in more than $1.2 million in unregulated "soft money." Kerry pledged he would limit individual donations to $10,000. But in late 2002, just before new federal laws banning soft money took effect, Kerry quietly lifted the ceiling and took all the cash he could get. In the month before the election, the fund raised nearly $879,000—including $27,500 from wireless telecom firms such as T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. That same month, Kerry cosponsored a bill to overturn a judge's ruling and permit the wireless firms to bid on billions of dollars' worth of wireless airwaves. Kerry aide Cutter says it's a "stretch" to draw any connection between the two events. [Emphasis added]

But of course, Kerry is a sworn crusader against "special interests" lobbyists and all that uplifting sludge you hear spewing out of his campaign.Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who has made a fight against corporate special interests a centerpiece of his front-running campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, has raised more money from paid lobbyists than any other senator over the past 15 years, federal records show.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64727-2004Jan30.html?nav=hptop_tb

The New York Times also notes Kerry's campaign "has taken money from executives on Wall Street and those representing the telecommunications industry, which is under his purview in Congress"

Mr. Kerry denounces President Bush for catering to the rich, but he has depended more heavily on affluent donors than the other leading Democrats except for another populist, Senator John Edwards. Mr. Kerry's spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, said the contributions had no effect on his votes.

If you're a lobbyist, Kerry is your meal ticket.

Now let’s not be surprising that Kerry would take money from corporate and other special interests, but is there really any reason we should believe they don't influence his votes, when this is what his campaign is built around .The refusal to extend to President Bush the same benefit of the doubt.

last night abc local news had a piece expossing Kerry as a lobyist dream as well.

here is a good one on old cash and Kerry;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4121890/

The thing is, Bush is the king of corporate special interests--and of doing one thing & saying another. No one can touch him. So no matter what they dig up on Kerry it'll look like peanuts in comparison, and Bush will get it thrown back in his face.
