Bushies better realize these polls are the very BEST Bush could possibly do. Even better than he could possibly do. There are millions of young and minority voters not included in these polls who are showing up in Florida now to early-vote and will show up as never before on Tuesday. It's called taking our country back from corrupt corporate special interests and liars. There are also many Republicans fed up with Bush who said they are going to vote, but won't.

Cheney: Kerry Took Poll on Bin Laden Tape Sun Oct 31, 2004 By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer LOS LUNAS, N.M. - Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Sen. John Kerry's first response to Osama bin Laden's new videotape was to take a poll to find out what he should say about it. A spokesman for Kerry's campaign did not deny polling on the bin Laden videotape. "The thing that I find amazing about it is that John Kerry's first response was to go conduct a poll," Cheney told supporters in Fort Dodge, Iowa. "He went into the field ... to find out what he should say about this tape of Osama bin Laden." "It's as though he doesn't know what he believes until he has to go and check the polls, his finger in the air, to see which way the wind is blowing and then he'll make a decision" said the vice president. "George Bush doesn't need a poll to know what he believes, especially about Osama bin Laden." "I don't think that's a man who is up to the task of being commander in chief," Cheney said of Kerry. Asked whether Kerry's polls included questions about the videotape, Lockhart said, "We don't talk about our internal polls." Lockhart said Cheney was referring to a Democracy Corps poll and linked it to the Kerry campaign's private polling. Democracy Corps is a Democratic organization and not part of the Kerry campaign, though its management has worked closely with Kerry's team. A conference call with reporters on the poll included Kerry campaign staffers. "For the Kerry campaign to say that this poll is not their own is laughable when Tad Devine and Joe Lockhart are the ones presenting the results," Cheney campaign spokeswoman Anne Womack said as the vice president arrived in New Mexico for a campaign appearance. Cheney's new attack followed his comments earlier in the day that Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, had turned his back on U.S. troops to get ahead politically. Kerry "is not a steadfast leader. Our president is," Cheney told hundreds of Republican supporters at stops in Ohio and Michigan, as he opened a nonstop leg of campaigning that will take him to Hawaii. Cheney started the day in Toledo, Ohio, pressing one of the campaign's most consistent highlighting of Kerry's Senate vote against $87 billion to help finance the U.S. war in Iraq. Bush's re-election campaign says the Massachusetts senator voted as he did because of the then-surging anti-war candidate Howard Dean. Cheney said that Kerry "in order to advance himself turned his back on the troops." **************************************** Clinton always put his finger int he wind as well before making decisions on crucial matters. The result of that was the terrorist attacks on Sept 11. If the USA returns to a finger in the wind Pres, there will be more terrorist attacks in the future.
