2004 Presidential Election
Coyote Gulch apologizes for the reduced coverage of the election this week. Although the full knee-replacement went well, I haven't regained my strength yet and the fog of pain-killers is still upon me. 
Electoral-vote.com: "A new poll in Missouri has Bush still ahead in this critical state. His lead is 49% to 45%. His lead in Texas is a whopping 24%."
Here's the coverage of President Bush's acceptance speech from the Rocky Mountain News [September 3, 2004, "Bush promises a brighter tomorrow"].
Dick Cheney and Zell Miller made several charges against Senator Kerry's voting record this week. Here's a Washington Post article on the subject.
Taegan Goddard: "The latest Zogby America Poll shows President Bush leading Sen. John Kerry, 46% to 44%. Says pollster John Zogby: 'The President has had a very good convention following a good week where he also dominated the news with his own message: leadership, strength, decisiveness. Not only has he dominated the news but he also has thrown Kerry off his game.' However, while Bush 'has improved his numbers, he still has a negative re-elect, job performance, and wrong direction.'"
TalkLeft looks at a word count of the President's speech.
Blogs for Bush: "He rose to the occasion and did just about everything right. Not saying it was a speech for the centuries, but he laid out his domestic agenda."
Opinions You Should Have: "Cheney rallies delegates with unique campaign slogan." Warning: vulgar language.
Russell Beattie: "Give in to your hate." Mr. Beattie posts photos of Zell Miller and Dick Cheney from Wednesday's edition of the RNC.
Daily Kos: "For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2."
