Moderates on both sides are very popular figures; Giuliani and McCain on the Right; Obama and Lieberman on the Left.

My respect for the elite media went from little to none. Did any body else notice CNN and CBS's reluctance to give Ohio to Bush :rolleyes: ? It is one thing to be cautious, but when 96% of the precincts had reported, and previous states had been granted to both candidates with 2 or 3 % margins it is plain ridiculous.

I got a kick when Dan Rather kept clinching for a Kerry comeback with his typical, "Kerry might still" and "Kerry can still pull this off."

Judy Woodruff looked like she was going to cry when they announced Bush won in FL.

Pete: I disagree with you because Iraq and moral issues were the top issues of concern. It just depended on who was being polled, but you are right that it was the larger of the issues. But to say we wouldn't care for the troops is totally false. Depending on the region of the country the 2 issues sitched spots between first and second place. Even on the highways it is evident: Everytime I see a 'support our Troops' sticker on a vehicle, it was by itself or accompanied by a Bush-Cheney bumpersticker. In my travels in CT and my trips to GA and FL and back I NEVER saw a Kerry sticker accompanied with the former. I am not the only one who had noticed.

PHEWWW...I feel like NU2Oregano :p !
