A new Zogby International Poll taken over the weekend showed Kerry ahead, 47% to 44%, virtually unchanged from early April. Haven't they had the best polling record so far?

Saudis/White House Lie About Not Manipulating Oil Prices Woodward, author of a new book on Bush's preparations for the Iraq (news - web sites) war "Plan of Attack," said Prince Bandar pledged the Saudis would try to fine-tune oil prices to prime the U.S. economy for November's presidential election, a move they understood would favor Bush. A Saudi official issued a statement saying the kingdom -- the world's largest oil exporter -- will not interfere with U.S. elections and will remain a reliable supplier of oil. "We do not use oil for political purposes; it is too important a commodity, and its impact on the global economy (of which we are a part) is tremendous," said Adel Al-Jubeir, foreign affairs adviser to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. "Saudi Arabia also does not interfere in elections," he said. White House spokesman Scott McClellan declined to comment directly on Woodward's remarks. But McClellan said Bandar, in recent talks at the White House, "committed to making sure prices remained in a range of, I believe, $22 to $28 per barrel of oil, and that they don't want to do anything that would harm our consumers or harm our economy." * If anyone thinks Bush is great on the war on terror they haven't been paying attention. Bush has totally compromised the war on terror.
