Two good articles on just hit Yahoo!'s AP wire service.
The first article has to do, again, with our (i.e., Dems) great registration efforts.
The Democrats appear to be gaining the upper hand in the battle to sign up new voters in the all-important swing states, an Associated Press analysis suggests.
The AP analysis of the most up-to-date figures from across the country found that, in every state where complete data is available, the Democrats have registered more new voters than Republicans. They have the edge in Arizona, Iowa, New Mexico, Nevada and New Hampshire.
Only in Florida is the story different. Registration tallies from more than half the counties show that the Republicans and the Democrats are virtually tied in the race to increase their share of voters in the state that decided the presidential election four years ago. In those counties, the Republicans have signed up just a few thousand more.
As for the two other big prizes among the swing states -- Pennsylvania and Ohio -- Pennsylvania's numbers are too scant to draw any conclusions, and Ohio does not register voters by party.
Also, there's unfiltered excerpts from the Bush AP interview aboard Air Force One.
My favorite quote:
Q: Do you think North Korea and Iran are more dangerous now than when you took office?
BUSH: No, I don't. I think that -- let me rephrase that. I think that the circumstances surrounding North Korea and surrounding Iran are more comprehensive.
Comprehensive?!? Meaning what? They have a more comprehensive nuclear program? Great.
