The Kerri splat Kerry Fails to Get Lift From Edwards' Pick, Zogby Poll Shows July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic candidate John Kerry's standing against President George W. Bush didn't improve following his pick of North Carolina Senator John Edwards as his running mate July 6, according to a Zogby International poll. Forty-eight percent of 1,008 likely voters polled by Zogby from July 6-7 supported Kerry and Edwards and 46 percent back Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The two percentage-point margin is within the poll's 3.1 percentage point margin of error and matches the two point spread in a Zogby poll taken June 2-5.

John Kerry Is Telling An Ugly Lie vodkapundit July 08, 2004 I noticed this line from one of John Kerry's recent speeches at NRO's Kerry Spot: "Don’t tell us disenfranchising a million African Americans and stealing their votes is the best we can do." Um, what? Let me rephrase that: WHAT?!? Exactly why hasn't this little tidbit been noted by the national press? With a banner headline? That's not just rhetoric, it's the electoral equivalent of a blood-libel. For one thing, it's a flat-out lie, as reluctantly found by the partisan Democrat-dominated US Civil Rights Commission, which despite months of investigation, noted only 26 people with "disenfranchisement" complaints, most of which were found to be specious (link is to a .pdf file of the minority dissent, see page 32). Not "a million disenfranchised," but 26 people with complaints, not all of which were valid. Kerry isn't just lying, he's indulging in blatant, ugly race-baiting (it's noteworty he says nothing about the military personnel whose 2000 absentee ballots were voided at the demands of Gore lawyers--now they were disenfranchised, but since they didn't vote correctly, it's below French John's notice). Why isn't he being called on it by the press? Scratch that--you already know the answer. The press is on his side. Let's try again: Why isn't he being called on it by the blogosphere? If this flat-out ugly lie isn't in the same league with Trent Lott's stupidity, I'd like to hear one legitimate reason why not.
