2004 Presidential Election
Here's the second Zogby poll for Georgia. Thanks to the Daily Kos for the link.
Democrats started beating on Howard Dean recently. The perceived front runner for the Democrats is getting hit hard from Joe Lieberman, Dick Gephart, and John Kerry. Calls for party unity are falling on deaf ears as those candidates along with John Edwards and Wesley Clark seek to keep their campaigns relevant only a few weeks from the Iowa caucuses. The rancor amongst the Democrats will help George Bush is his quest for a second term. Now it looks like Ralph Nader might get in to the 2004 election. Nader is blamed by many for taking votes from Al Gore in 2000 that would have put Gore in the White House. The question is whether or not the Green Party will take him back or will he need to build his own third party. From the article, "A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll in October found two-thirds of Americans did not want Nader to run again, and he acknowledged that some of his supporters in 2000 might back a Democrat this time because they were focused on beating Bush. 'There are a lot of people who supported us in 2000 who are anybody-but-Bush adherents, and going back into the fold of (Howard) Dean or the Democrats,' he said. He said Dean, the former Vermont governor who shot to the top of the Democratic field with his heated denunciations of Bush's policies, was 'better than most,' but still did not push Bush hard enough. He criticized Dean's refusal to back cuts in the military budget and said he was 'a pretty conservative governor.'"
