Florida poll has good news for Bush, Graham sun-sentinel.com ...If the Florida Democratic primary were held today, Graham would bury his rivals for the presidential nomination, the poll shows. He was the choice of 49 percent of the Democrats sampled, followed by Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman and Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri, who each drew 10 percent. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts was favored by 8 percent of Democratic voters, and five other candidates drew 6 percent or less.

Most Americans may be somewhere near the middle, as President Bush is, but that surely and certainly leaves out Kerry. Let's have a look at his voting record in the Senate. (I know you hate that) Who Is John Kerry? A Massachusetts Liberal --Out Of Touch With America. "Kerry is . . . a man who opposes the death penalty, wants to restrict access to guns and voted against the resolution approving the start of ground operations against Saddam Hussein in 1991 -- just what you would expect from Ted Kennedy's partner and Michael Dukakis's running mate . . . ." (David S. Broder, "Testing The '04 Waters," The Washington Post, June 5, 2002) THE FACTS ABOUT SENATOR JOHN KERRY (D-MA) KERRY: A NORTHEASTERN LIBERAL AND DUKAKIS'S LT. GOV. WHO VOTES LOCKSTEP WITH TED KENNEDY On Key Votes, Kerry Voted 100% Of The Time With Senator Kennedy In 2001, 1999, 1998, 1993, 1992, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, and 1985. Over the course of his Senate career, Kerry has sided with Senator Kennedy 94% of the time for key votes. KERRY CLAIMS HE'S FOR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, BUT VOTES FOR HIGHER TAXES, AND AGAINST TAX CUTS Kerry Has Voted Against A Balanced Budget Amendment At Least Five Times. Other fiscally irresponsible votes include at least three key votes against lowering overall spending. Kerry Voted Against President Bush's Tax Cuts, At Least The Tenth Key Anti-Tax Relief Vote Of His Senate Career. Kerry Voted For The Biggest Tax Increase In American History Under President Clinton. Kerry Has A Lifetime Rating Of 26% From Citizens Against Government Waste And Is A Long-Time Supporter Of Federal Funding For Boston's "Big Dig." Former Senate Government Affairs Chairman John McCain called the project "the biggest, most costly public works project in U.S. history." The "Big Dig" was estimated to cost $2.6 billion when it was approved in 1985. The cost to date has totaled more than $13.6 billion.
