I think we are in for something worse than what you expect. We created an enormous safe-haven for terrorists and we created an incredible opportunity for terrorists to step up their recruitment in Iraq and throughout the region. Iraq should teach us something important: The presence and active intervention of our military is a bonus for the terrorists.

General Election Cattle Call ______________________________ Posted by Chris Bowers Thursday, October 07, 2004 swingstateproject.com (Previous Results in Parenthesis) National Popular Vote Projection Kerry: 50.2 (49.5) Bush: 47.8 (48.5) Status: Toss-up Polls Included: Economist, Rasmussen and Zogby Electoral Vote Projection Kerry: 296, 221 (274, 187) Bush: 242, 163 (264, 209) States Changing Party Hands from 2000: FL, NH and NV to Kerry States Changing Hands Since Last Projection: FL, NV and WI to Kerry; OH to Bush States Projected Under Three Points: AR, OH for Bush (26, with AR moving under three points); FL, NV, NH, and WI for Kerry Here’s one area where Kerry has flip-flopped: in the polls. Before the debate, the projected Electoral College standing was almost precisely the inverse of where it currently stands. Since the debate, Kerry has all but completely eliminated the gap between himself and Bush both nationally and in many important swing states. In many lean-Democratic states, Kerry has opened wide leads. He now only trails Bush 46.8-46.1 without undecideds allocated. For Bush to be under 47 without undecideds allocated places him in very dangerous territory, as almost all undecideds break for the challenger in Presidential Elections. This, of course, is by no means to imply that Kerry is in a secure position. The campaign has changed directions several times in the past, and it could easily change at least one more time before it is over. Tomorrow’s debate will be huge. Kerry needs at least a draw. A victory could put bush on the ropes.
