More good news on polling front. According to POA, Bush now leads in the electoral college 228 to 168. Even better is that in Oct. 18 polls, Bush is ahead in Pennsylvania 43-42 and has pulled even in Michigan 43-43. If those two states move to Bush, he is one vote shy of the magical 270.

OK, pass the law. Now what will change? Anything? Do you think the politicians will obey the law? If not, who's going to prosecute them? Where is the controlling legal authority?

David: Excellent post on campaign finance reform. The GOP screams like banshees when castigating union donations, but is predictably silent on the subject of soft-money corporate strong-arm shake-downs. Similar to the hypocrisy exhibited during the Clinton Witch Hunt ... continuously cite Clinton's sins of the flesh but say nothing about Barr, Burton, Livingston, Watts ... on and on. As long as the GOP remains in power, nothing will be done to reform campaign financing. In the end, however, the GOP faces larger problems that can't be solved by buying ads that twist the truth.
