Newsweek magazine had a national poll that puts Kerry ahead 49-46% after the debate.

True, IF you ignore the fact that Kerry has NO desire to pass a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, which was just voted down by both houses of Congress.

You're kidding me right? He's not voting for
Nader! Not a chance in Hell, sorry. Nader is a good man, don't get me wrong. Probably saved many lives in this country, and probably could have saved more if airlines and airplane manufacturers had listened to him over 10 years ago, when he proposed putting secure locks on cockpit doors. And he can dispute this all he wants, but his presence in the election is just taking votes away from John Kerry. You vote for Nader, you're helping Bush win the election. Michael Moore would vote for his dog before he helps President Bush win this election. Nader is just running because he wants revenge. That's all. And conservatives can hate him all they want, but Moore is
not a Democrat. He doesn't like Democrats a whole lot either, and assuming John Kerry is elected, he said that his camera will be pointed at him as well.
P.S. - I just saw him speak here a few days ago.
I really enjoyed it, and it was well worth it for only 5 dollars.

You got that right. In just the University of Michigan student body alone, there are 5,000 new registered voters.

Devil's advocate for a second: When Bush was campaigning in 2000, he was asked what he would do if one of his daughters got pregnant, and was thinking about having an abortion. He said that they would sit down as a family and discuss it. So obviously, to his credit, he thinks that the government should not have a say in the matter. Granted, he still may be against the idea, but as a father, he would prefer to talk it over as a family, and not have the government make the decision.

"Slammed"?
I wouldn't dream of it. As long as Kerry wins, and I can show that making premature guarantees is a bad idea, it's all good. And if Bush wins, I won't be a sore loser. I'll be pretty disappointed, but I wouldn't take it out on others.

What's with all this drama?
