Kerry's going to win. after all, even Gore won and that was before everybody learned what a great guy Bush was. the question is, whether Kerry can win by enough to keep the Repugs from stealing the election again. btw, how do you place a wager in the UK? through Ladbrokes?

In addition to the Gibson interview, Bush also sat down this weekend with Fox News conservative commentator Sean Hannity for an interview to be shown tonight. In an excerpt released yesterday, Bush went seriously off message on the terror war, saying "whether or not we can be ever fully safe is up -- you know, up in the air." And it feels almost like major newspapers in America are disgorging stories that could be hugely damaging to Bush in the election -- just under the wire. • You've got a New York Times series on the spectacular and divisive failure of a White House cabal's plans for a new system of justice for prisoners taken in the war on terror. • There's a Washington Post story about a confidential Justice Department memo that apparently authorized the CIA to transfer detainees out of Iraq for interrogation in violation of the Geneva Conventions. • There's Knight-Ridder with an expose on Bush's disputed service with an inner-city program in Houston in 1973. • There's the Wall Street Journal weighing in with a story about how Bush apparently had the chance to kill terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi before the Iraq War, but opted not to. • There's a New York Times story on the American military's failure to secure hundreds of tons of powerful conventional explosives in Iraq. • And there's a Los Angeles Times story about how foreign governments are flocking to Bush's major fundraisers to improve their access to Washington's corridors of power. And that's just for starters. washingtonpost.com

I was surprised to read the Rasmussen results. The opposite indication is given over at news.yahoo.com: "The latest surveys showed the president with a statistically insignifcant lead of one to three points over his Democratic challenger, although a Time magazine survey put the margin at five points." story.news.yahoo.com Maybe the top priority for the Administration is not Iraq, war on terrorism, the economy....it's keeping Rehnquist alive in case he's needed in the next month or two.
