To be a liberal you have to believe that... Al Gore has a chance to be elected President of The United States. Gore-Bradley Race a Dead Heat in New Hampshire By Jerry Miller 07 September, 1999 Boston, MA - A poll conducted for the Boston Globe and WBZ-TV shows Vice President Al Gore and former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley in a virtual dead heat in New Hamsphire's Democratic presidential primary contest. The survey of 800 Democrat, Republican and independent voters was conducted August 27 - 31 and showed Gore with 40 percent of the vote and Bradley at 36 percent. With a margin of error of plus or minus five percent, the race is considered a statistical dead heat. "The Democratic primary race can go either way," according to Gerry Chervinsky, president of KRC Communications Research, the firm which conducted the poll. Part of the explanation for the data stems from independent voters, who told the pollster they plan to cast ballots in the Democratic primary. Among independents, Gore was seen as unfavorable by 32 percent, while his unfavorable rating among Democrats stood at 19 percent. Within their own party, both Gore and Bradley have almost identical favorability ratings among likely voters. Gore received a favorable or very favorable rating from 65 percent of likely Democratic voters. Bradley registered a 66 percent favorability number among likely Democratic primary voters, while 11 percent saw him in an unfavorable light. Perhaps more important was Bradley's showing among independents, where none of those surveyed saw the one-time Rhodes Scholar and New York Knicks basketball player as unfavorable. According to the findings, Gore is being damaged by so-called "Clinton fatigue" and by his strong support for President Bill Clinton during his impeachment and Senate trial. He is also hurt by unanswered questions concerning his role in fundraising activities during the 1996 race for the White House. The poll also found voters in both parties to be anxious for change, despite a strong economy, nationally and in New Hampshire, which leads the New England region in economic growth. On the GOP side, among the 400 Granite State Republicans surveyed, 44 percent favored Texas Governor George W. Bush, with former American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole at 14 percent, followed by Arizona Sen. John McCain at 12 percent. In single digits were publisher Steve Forbes, at seven percent; columnist and former White House aide Patrick J. Buchanan and former Vice President Dan Quayle at four percent each; and former Reagan Administration domestic policy chief Gary Bauer at three percent. Former Ambassador Alan Keyes was not included in the Globe-WBZ-TV survey. However, a poll released last week, by Franklin Pierce College, located in Rindge, New Hampshire, put Keyes support at two percent. Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, the last entrant into the GOP contest, who has made only one trip to New Hampshire since entering the race, did not register any support in the poll.

...you have to believe that Bill Clinton cares about East Timor! Of course, his Lippo Group friends over there bought old Bubba with contributions into his '96 campaign, his legal defense fund, and payoffs to Webster Hubble for his silence. Fact 'O the matter is that Bill Clinton owes the Riady family (that controls Lippo Group) all kinds of favors and that includes letting the Indonesian Army rape and pillage Catholics in East Timor, Christians all over the place, and destroy democracy. Old Bubba really should have stayed out of bed with the Chinese and the Indonesians but this was one corrupt Southern Democrat that was on the take. -John
