good point...Bushy has relatively few endorsements...If he had done even a reasonable job he would have had the support of conservative newspapers like The Detroit News. The New Yorker did NOT make their endorsement by accident...they feel the stakes are SO HIGH that they want their 1 Million+ readers to think carefully before they vote. -s2@IknowmanyRepublicansVotingForKerryThisYear.com

The Coming Post-Election Chaos: A Storm Warning of Things to Come If the Vote Is as Close as Expected By JOHN W. DEAN writ.news.findlaw.com <<...The Nightmare Scenario: An Election Up in the Air For Months It may be days or weeks, if not months, before we know the final results of this presidential election. And given the Republican control of the government, if Karl Rove is on the losing side, it could be years: He will take every issue (if he is losing) to its ultimate appeal in every state he can. The cost of such litigation will be great - with the capital of citizens' trust in their government, and its election processes, sinking along with the nation's (if not the world's) financial markets, which loathe uncertainty. After Bush v. Gore, is there any doubt how the high Court would resolve another round? This time, though, the Court, too, will pay more dearly. With persuasive power as its only source of authority, the Court's power will diminish as the American people's cynicism skyrockets. It does not seem to trouble either Rove or Bush that they are moving us toward a Twenty-first Century civil war -- and that, once again, Southern conservatism is at its core. Only a miracle, it strikes me, can prevent this election from descending into post-election chaos. But given the alternatives, a miracle is what I am hoping for...>>

U.S. October Consumer Confidence Index Falls to 92.8 From 96.7 Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. consumer confidence fell for a third straight month in October, a private survey showed, suggesting rising voter discontent with the economy a week before President George W. Bush seeks re-election. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index dropped to 92.8 from a revised 96.7 in September, lower than previously estimated. Americans' assessment of the current economy and their outlook for the next six months fell. The survey is the Conference Board's last before the U.S. presidential election. Since the index began in 1967, every incumbent president* facing re-election with consumer confidence below 99 on Election Day has lost. quote.bloomberg.com * Ford 1976, Carter 1980, Bush I 1992
