Wow..wow. This is a first that Kerry has not gotten a total pass from the liberal media. I am beginning to sense that the media is starting to understand that the conservative bashing has started to run its course and is probably leading to reduced income for them.

I think that Kerry and Taaaaaarraaaasa are are just too big a targets (s) to ignore.

Very interesting.
 
I just checked and it was still there. Maybe the server was temporarly overloaded.

As biased as the press has always been, they don't pass up even liberal blood.

Oh well why not:

BOSTON - John Kerry (news - web sites) skipped past his role in the Vietnam protest movement that brought him to prominence when he talked of his younger days fighting for his country and ignored that conflict when praising the American tradition of going to war only "because we have to."

Kerry once famously called the Vietnam War "the biggest nothing in history," and says he is still proud of his anti-war activism when he came back. But in the text of his televised speech at the Democratic National Convention, he emphasized his war record and offered mere clues to his protesting past.


A video introduction shown at the convention before the broadcast networks began carrying his speech included a clip of the young Kerry, in military garb, testifying to Congress against the war in 1971.


And his speech made passing reference to his generation's marches for "civil rights, for voting rights, for the environment, for women, and for peace."


Kerry short-handed a few telling policy details in other parts of his speech.


He declared, for example, that "we value health care that's affordable and accessible for all Americans" and called that care "a right for all Americans."


But his plan, while aimed at expanding coverage and reducing premiums, does not ensure coverage for all. His campaign says the plan would extend coverage to an additional 27 million people, which would leave more than 10 million without health insurance.


He rhetorically asked, "What does it mean when 25 percent of the children in Harlem have asthma because of air pollution? America can do better. And help is on the way."


A study by Harlem Hospital Center last year found 25 percent of the children in a 24-block area of Harlem had the disease. But blaming all of that on air pollution as part of a case against the Bush administration is not supported by the study.


Apart from genetic factors, the study found that the asthmatic children were about 50 percent more likely to live with a smoker. Pollen, dust, animal dander, cockroaches and cold air were thought to be among the contributing causes, along with urban air pollution.

It could be a pure money driven motive. I think there is a consensus that JFKerry needed a big poll boost from the selection of Edwards and the convention. His poll numbers are trending down!

Poll Shows Kerry Support Slipping

Methinks the media doesn't want to go down with the ship. After they deserted Dukakis, who had a 17% poll lead after his convention, he sank without trace.

Zogby: Zero Bounce for Kerry

A Zogby poll taken while the four-day Democratic Convention was underway shows that the Kerry Edwards ticket has failed to add even a single percentage point to its support.

The poll of 1,001 likely voters conducted Monday through Thursday found that 48 percent support the Kerry Edwards ticket - the exact same number that backed the Massachusetts Democrat in a July 6-7 survey.

The only good news for the presidential hopeful came in the category of undecideds, which had grown to eight points in the latest survey, up from five points in the earlier sample.
The latest Zogby numbers show Kerry Edwards leading Bush Cheney 48 to 43 percent. Support for Bush Cheney in the previous sample was 46 percent.
 
In Pa. we are headed toward a crisis in Doctors. Already it is extremely difficult for a woman to get an OBGYN. These are exactly the types that Edwards is driving out of business. Its getting to be an issue.

And probably most women who are younger are Democrats. Republicans could steal some votes here. I think this issue has the potential of tipping the balance to Bush. Also Gov Rendell is becoming very unpopular bc of his huge tax and spend initiatives. How we ever got two Republican Senators -I'll never know. But I think Pa. has a chance of going into the Republican column.

I think the Stem cell issue could come up and bite Bush in the azz. And maybe it should. The Republicans are in the dark ages here.
