2004 Presidential Election
President Bush will be stumping in Colorado today and tomorrow, according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 11, 2004, "Edwards, Bush plan Colo. visits"]. Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [October 11, 2004, "Bush to attend rallies today at Lowry and Red Rocks"]. Colorado is now officially a swing state.
I'll catch up with y'all later (i.e. Electoral-vote.com has not updated yet). Early morning meeting at the office. I hate it when work gets in the way of politics. 
Blogs for Bush: "ABC/Washington Post: It has it President Bush 51%, John Kerry 46% - right back where it was before the first debate."
Update: Electoral-vote.com: "Mondays are always quiet and today is no exception. An Opinion Research poll in Arkansas breaks the tie there and puts Bush ahead by 9%. I don't think Kerry really has much of a chance in Arkansas. The south, except for Florida, looks pretty solid for Bush, although there might be surprises in one or two border states. Kerry edged ahead again in Minnesota."
"Zogby did a large (N = 1216) telephone poll Oct. 7-9 (thus, after the second presidential debate) and found the race to be a statistical tie, with Kerry at 46%, Bush at 45%, Nader at 0.9%, Cobb at 0.2%, Peroutka at 0.2%, and Badnarik at 0.1%. The rest are still undecided. I guess they are waiting for the third debate, on Wednesday. Some people like to collect all the data before coming to a conclusion. Interestingly, Zogby also found that among newly registered voters, Kerry holds a 5% lead. Given the millions of people who registered for the first time this year, new voters (along with the millions of overseas voters) could be a serious factor."
Update: Taegan Goddard: "If you need more proof this election is going to be hard to predict, the major tracking polls appear to be moving in opposite directions. ABC News/Washington Post has Bush leading Kerry by 6% and Rasmussen has Bush ahead by 4%. But Zogby shows Kerry beating Bush by 3%. And the USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll shows Kerry leading by 2%."
Update: From email from Donna Redwing: "Howard Dean will be in downtown Denver this Thursday!! Rally at noon at the Amphitheatre in Civic Center Park, Thursday, October 14th. Colorado is one of Howard Dean[base ']s strongest supporters, and that is why Howard Dean added a stop in Denver to his Western trip. He wants you to come meet and support the four Colorado [base "]Dean Dozen[per thou] candidates, and the local candidates that Democracy for Colorado has endorsed. Let[base ']s show him again that he can count on us. Please help us spread the word! Send this message to your friends. See You Thursday! Civic Center Park is at Broadway and 14th Street. For parking, try the new Art Museum parking garage at 12th and Broadway. Wheelchair access is on the Broadway side of the park."
Update: Josh Marshall: "Welcome to the world of Rove."
