A couple of notes... Have you seen the new Kerry autobiographical ads? They are very good, exactly what's needed at this point in the process. I hope he runs them repeatedly in all the swing states. No. We're not a swing state. I've seen very few Kerry ads. I've seen a ton of Bush ads though. Makes my heart feel good after seeing all those ads, and then going out and seeing all the Impeach Bush signs on cars. The Bush campaign might as well throw all that ad money into a sewer! <g> The Moore film is getting great reviews from the perspective of film-making, outside of the context of politics. I doubt that many Republicans will go to see it, but some independents might... and it could help to influence their opinions. That assuming the power brokers in the entertainment industry let it get to the screen, with a decent amount of promotion, prior to November. Yeah, I was surprised at the reviews its getting. Moore acts like such an idiot some times........I forget that he's talented. ted

John, <font color=brown> Don't miss this article.........the cracks are getting wider and deeper and its very likely Rumsfeld will be the first victim.........and then maybe Bush. This administration has made too many enemies for its own good. <font color=black> ted ******************************************************* "Efforts at the top level of the Bush administration and the civilian echelon of the Department of Defense to contain the Iraq prison torture scandal and limit the blame to a handful of enlisted soldiers and immediate senior officers have already failed: The scandal continues to metastasize by the day. Over the past weekend and into this week, devastating new allegations have emerged putting Stephen Cambone, the first Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, firmly in the crosshairs and bringing a new wave of allegations cascading down on the head of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, when he scarcely had time to catch his breath from the previous ones. Even worse for Rumsfeld and his coterie of neo-conservative true believers who have run the Pentagon for the past 3½ years, three major institutions in the Washington power structure have decided that after almost a full presidential term of being treated with contempt and abuse by them, it's payback time. Those three institutions are: The United States Army, the Central Intelligence Agency and the old, relatively moderate but highly experienced Republican leadership in the United States Senate. None of those groups is chopped liver: Taken together they comprise a devastating Grand Slam." upi.com
