2004 Presidential Election
Update 6:37PM Now this is fun. An interactive electoral college election map from John Edwards' campaign.
Update 6:19PM: Here's the link to Wesley Clark's Spanish Language Website.
Update 6:06PM: Here's a recent Survey USA poll for South Carolina in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Mike Littwin analyses the effects of Saddam Hussein's capture on the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination in his column in today's Rocky Mountain News [December 16, 2003, "Littwin: Saddam: Will he help Kerry, hurt Dean?"]. From the editorial, "Sure, this was great news for George W. Bush's re-election hopes. Or at least that's the early take. No one knows what will happen next in Iraq. Saddam was barely showered and shaved before the suicide car bombers were back at their deadly work. And, of course, it's one thing to capture Saddam and yet another to explain just where his weapons of mass destruction have gone. But here's how the thinking goes if you're a Democrat running for president: If the news was great for Bush, it couldn't be so great for Dean, the anti-Iraqi-war candidate who has positioned himself so successfully as the anti-Bush."
The Rocky is running an interview with Phebe Marr, a middle-east specialist, today [December 16, 2003, "Saddam's capture won't affect insurgency"]. While not directly related to the presidential election her views on the insurgency are of interest. Death and turmoil in Iraq could keep the war in the forefront in next year's election.
