All I can say is hooray for America. A rising tide lifts all boats and all Americans, even the ones who might not recognize opportunity, fairness, ethics and morals, will be grateful once they have a renewed opportunity to see Americans with incentive to produce in action once again.

Mike, your reading the wrong polls...........Gore Holds 14-Point Lead Over Bush in Latest Newsweek Poll By James Rowley Washington, Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore holds a 14-percentage point lead over Republican George W. Bush in a Newsweek poll of likely voters, who see him as better able to help elderly Americans pay for prescription drugs. The vice president led Bush among likely voters 52 percent to 38 percent, while 3 percent supported Green Party candidate Ralph Nader and 2 percent said they favored Reform Party candidate Patrick Buchanan. The results of the poll of 580 likely voters taken Sept. 14- 15 marked a widening of Gore's lead from a week earlier, when a similar Newsweek poll showed the vice president leading the Texas governor by a margin of 8 percentage points. The latest poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. The Newsweek results gave the vice president a wider margin than the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll, which said Gore was leading Bush 49-42 percent. The Newsweek poll suggested that Gore was overcoming a perception among voters that Bush had stronger leadership abilities. Sixty-two percent of 853 registered voters said Gore had strong leadership qualities. Fifty-nine percent said Bush had those qualities as well. In earlier Newsweek polls, Bush had scored a consistently higher percentage than Gore in this category. Health Care Concerns The poll indicated that Bush's 10-year, $158 billion plan to subsidize the cost of prescription drugs paid by elderly Americans had done little to alter the perception that Gore would do more to help senior citizens meet health-care expenses. By a margin of 52 percent to 32 percent, registered voters said that Gore, who has proposed a Medicare prescription drug benefit, would do a better job helping senior citizens pay for medicine. The vice president also led Bush by a similar 20-point margin when registered voters were asked who would better address all health-care issues. The poll also showed that registered voters said that Gore better represented their political views than Bush and that he cared about average people. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said Gore ``cared about people like you'' as opposed to 44 percent for Bush. Fifty-two percent of registered voters said they felt Gore shared their political views. Forty-four percent said Bush shared their views, while 45 percent said they didn't think they agreed politically with the Texas governor. Gore was also leading among male registered voters, 44 percent to 41 percent and among women, 55 percent to 35 percent. <<<<<<<<THE END IS NEAR FOR THE BUSH EXPRESS TRAIN>>>>>>>
