 2004 Presidential Election
Here's a article about John Kerry's visit to Colorado yesterday from the Rocky Mountain News [September 18, 2004, "Kerry issues fightin' words"]. From the article, "Kerry said it's shameful that 45 million Americans don't have health insurance. He touted his plan for bringing health-care costs under control and bringing the uninsured into the fold. He said he would cover all children automatically; allow people over 55 to buy into Medicare early; give states grants to cover individuals and families without insurance; set up a fund to cover people with catastrophic health problems; and allow anyone to buy into the federal health-insurance program that the president and members of Congress enjoy. Kerry said he'd pay for such a program by rolling back the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Kerry also said Bush has consistently lined the pockets of large drug companies, insurance companies and HMOs at the expense of regular people." Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [September 18, 2004, "Kerry focus: health care"].
Taegan Goddard: "A new CBS News Poll finds President Bush's "post-convention bounce remains intact" for at least another week. Bush leads Kerry 50% to 41% among registered voters."
Ralph Nader will stay on the ballot in Colorado, according to the Rocky Mountain News [September 18, 2004, "Nader will be on Colo. ballot"].
Electoral-vote.com: "Six new polls today, but nothing really spectacular. A Research 2000 poll in Illinois gives Kerry a 15% lead, much closer to the conventional wisdom than the 4% lead I had yesterday. Bush appears to be increasing his lead in Missouri. It was 2% but is now 7%. Finally, in the 7-day Rasmussen tracking poll in Ohio, Bush is slightly ahead again, but within the margin of error."
