I haven't posted here in years and I know there are a gazillion Palin diaries in here but when I read this quote from her, it took my breath away and I thought I should share it. (And I didn't see any other diaries on it.)

Money quote:
In response to this question: "What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?" Palin answered: "A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made."

Whoa nelly! Can you say Washington State Governor's race all over again? As of today in the VA AG race Dem Deeds has pulled to within about 600 votes of taking the leading (from an election night deficit of more than 1500 votes). Of course McDonnell, the Rethug opponent, has already claimed victory...LOL

I'm becoming a believer in this guy. He called the Kaine- Kilgore race correctly an hour before every one else. He really seems to know his sh*t. Money quote: "Creigh Deeds is down about 7,000 now, but with precincts in Richmond, Norfolk and Fairfax County's record absentee count still waiting to report, he looks to have been elected."

"Rove remains in significant danger"

Talk about burying the lede! In an article in the WAPO today talking about how some Dems have called for Rove's designation, the article drops this bombshell.

"Rove's attorney provided Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald with a last-minute flurry of material and evidence supporting Rove's contention that he simply forgot his conversation about Wilson's wife with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper -- rather than lied about it, according to people close to Rove. The sources said it gave Fitzgerald "pause" about his earlier intentions to charge Rove with false statements to the FBI, and he agreed to continue investigating.

But two legal sources intimately familiar with Fitzgerald's tactics in this inquiry said they believe Rove remains in significant danger. They described Fitzgerald as being relentlessly thorough but also conservative throughout this prosecution -- and his willingness to consider Rove's eleventh-hour pleading of a memory lapse is merely a sign of Fitzgerald's caution."

Dem Wedge Issue: Balanced Budget Amendment?

Yeah, remember that thing from way back when? At the time Democrats opposed it because they were afraid, among other things, social programs would be cut. Well, it didn't pass and social programs got cut anyway. What did the Republicans do in the absence of a Balanced Budget Amendment? They cut taxes dramatically for the wealthy and sent deficits soaring. So, now we have the worst of all worlds--the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Why not propose a Balanced Budget Amendment? Hell, the only thing that can be done to balance the budget is to wipe out those tax cuts. Makes us look like the party of fiscal responsibility. I bet it polls damn well too. Any thoughts?

Here's what I was thinking. We need to start talking about our issues in terms of their morality. We need to start talking about poverty again and tie that in with religious values ("blessed are the poor" type language). We need to talk about health care as a moral values issue--the sinfulness of not allowing a poor child to see a doctor when she gets sick versus giving tax cuts to the wealthy. We need to remind religious conservatives that morality isn't simply being pro-life (although we could modify our position on that issue a bit), but also applies to issues of social justice. If our movement goes back to touching upon religious truths (as did the civil rights movement), we can get people excited again and start picking up some of these people who go to church and won't vote Dem.

Good news, bad news on internal campaign polling...

Here's the bad news: "As Bush and Kerry crisscrossed Midwest battleground states, a new poll showed the president moving ahead of Kerry in the popular vote, and Democrats said their private surveys hinted at momentum for the Republican incumbent." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041030/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_rdp&cid=536& amp;ncid=536

Here's the good news:"In Ohio and elsewhere, Republicans fret privately over signs that Democratic turnout will be larger than they had expected."

I have no idea what to make of this. Any thoughts?

Kerry has been lagging badly in this poll for quite a while now. But in the past couple days and particularly in the last 24 hours the poll has swung heavily toward Kerry and is now tied. I'm hoping this could be the beginning of the expected Kerry surge coming out of the spate of bad news for Bush and due to the usual surge of undecideds toward the challenger.

Usual apologies if this has been posted but CNN is saying B51 K46 LV and B49 K47 RV. I actually think this is good news. Shows movement toward us. I got this from the enemy (sorry). Seems like at this point most if not all the polls are trending our way with few exceptions. I think this only adds to that trend http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/browse Trend chart (Courtesy of republicansforkerry): LVs Bush 51(52) Kerry 46(44) RVs Bush 49(49) Kerry 47(46)

Sorry if this has beed diaried before, but I thought this little gem of a quote was interesting from Zogby: "If I were to factor in the leaners in the 3-day track, it would be Kerry 47.2% to Bush 46.6%" (And, yes, technically this is a one-sentence diary, but it's a long sentence.)

I was so depressed when I saw the tracking numbers come out today until I saw this little gem at the end. (Ignore the stupid Mary talk at the beginning.) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38563-2004Oct16.html

Additionally, there is this headline at yahoo..."Bush says he's best protection from the draft" which immediately leads me to ask: What? Is he going to get everyone into the Texas Air National Guard?
