<<...On the other side of the partisan divide, Mr. Bush - like Mr. Kerry - is more extreme than his party's median senator (Richard Shelby of Alabama). He is also noticeably more conservative than his primary challenger in 2000, John McCain. So any assertion that the Democratic candidates are out of the mainstream might easily be applied to the Republicans as well. In fact, if any of the four candidates on the national party tickets this year is out of the mainstream, it is Mr. Cheney, who in his last full term in the House was on the right flank of roughly 90 percent of his Republican colleagues...>> This is the key section IMO and some MoveON.org Ads should make it clear that Bush and Cheney are right-wing extremists that do not represent the Republican party...they are way outside "mainstream America"...The only reason this is a close race in some battleground states is that Karl Rove's team of dirty tricksters are masters at creatively deceiving voters.

This election is expected to proceed along the same lines as the election in 1992. Economy is going t be the main issue. The religious right is going to make this an issue of liberal vs. conservatives. But people ib States that matter such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and even in Florida will be interested in the issue of economy and jobs. THat this is true is borne by the fact that Kerry is ahead of Bush by 6% points in Ohio. In Pennsylvania, Kerry leads Bush also. The economic figures were on the upswing in the past 3 months. The Bush supporters were quick to come out and declare that the economy was rebounding. But economic figures of the past 3 weeks point in the direction of a stalled economic recovery. The people are willing to revive the economy. But the Bush Administration has failed to provide the impetus for its revival. Like the crankshaft to start an engine, the Bush Administration has failed to provide that cranckshaft. The Clintonites provide that and did that very well. With Robert Rubin, a respected Wall Street figure, egging on the investing community, the US economy reverberated in spite of the participation of foreign economies through national treaties such as NAFTA. So "It is still the economy stupid" holds true today. Everything else is going to be mute in the upcoming elections. When Clinton takes the stage tonight, this nation will be reminded of those good old days where we felt pretty much at ease in terms of physical security as well as job security.
