For the Record

“He was rejected for membership by the Allies and the Axis of Evil.”

In The Hotline’s survey of state polls, President Bush leads in 31 states worth 291 electoral votes and John Kerry leads in 15 states worth 185 electoral votes (270 needed to win) …. CNN/USA Today poll: Bush 49 percent, Kerry 47 percent, Ralph Nader 1 percent…. Among Nader supporters, 50 percent prefer Bush and 48 percent choose Kerry…. Bush on debates: “It’s been a little tough to prepare because [Kerry] keeps changing positions on the War on Terror…. He could probably spend 90 minutes debating himself.” Bush, on Fox News: “I believe Muslims yearn to be free. And this is tough. Look, no question it’s tough times. But if we send mixed signals, if we waver, the times will be tougher. That’s what the terrorists are watching, they’re watching us like hawks.” Secretary of state Colin Powell on Iraq, on Meet the Press: “It’s getting worse. And the reason it’s getting worse is that they are determined to disrupt the election. They do not want the Iraqi people to vote for their own leaders in a free, democratic election. And because it’s getting worse, we will have to increase our efforts to defeat it, not walk away and pray and hope for something else to happen.” Bush, in first debate: “A free Iraq will be an ally in the War on Terror, and that’s essential. A free Iraq will set a powerful example in the part of the world that is desperate for freedom. A free Iraq will help secure Israel. A free Iraq will enforce the hopes and aspirations of the reformers in places like Iran. A free Iraq is essential for the security of this country.”
