“I thought that guy said Elvis was gonna be here. That don’t look like no Elvis to me!”

Bush 51% to Kerry 46%.

“My opponent has the wrong strategy, for the wrong country, at the wrong time.”

– President George W. Bush, campaigning in Colorado today.

Clinton has made his first appearance with Kerry.

UPDATE: If you don’t think that having bypass surgery is the equivalent of getting hit by a truck, take a look at this…

Dick Morris gives his insight into the reasons Bill Clinton is leaving his sick bed to rescue John Kerry.

Bush now leads Kerry 48 to 45 percent in the poll released today.

I’ve read the so called “Big” story surrounding the meeting Kerry said he had but never had with the U.N. Security Council before the vote in 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq.

My early reaction? Zzzzzzzzzz. Not a stake in the heart.

The public is jaded. Most already believe that John Kerry exaggerates. They know he flip flops. They know he’s twisted the truth to whatever is most politically expedient for John Kerry. They know he’s “for” this and “against” the same thing. Saying he met with someone he really didn’t meet with is not a huge revelation. This is Cambodia part 2. It’s at best is a “he said” and “he said” story that doesn’t have the bite that can change an election that is 8 days away.

Many have made a point that this story is breaking in the Washington Times and for that reason, it may be ignored by many in the Main Stream Media. I agree with this. I’m afraid (and disappointed) that this may already be dead in the water. Drudge didn’t give this the “police light”, screaming headline designation, and for good reason. It’s an interesting story, but not enough to derail a campaign.

The early hype was more fun than the end result.

Go back to your lives citizens.

UPDATE: I love moving pictures. IF the press were to pick up on this video, and play it in conjunction with the news of the story, I think it could gain further traction and have a negative effect on Kerry in the remaining days of the campaign.

If you’ve been following the conservative blogosphere for the past couple of days, you know about the supposed BIG story that is going to be published tomorrow in the Washington Times. There’s much speculation as to what it’s all about, and a few bloggers were tipped off early as to the contents of the story. From what I can tell so far, the story isn’t an “October Surprise” caliber piece. King Moonbat has some early info (and as usual, he’s already debunked it), so if you’re curious, read away. We’ll have to wait the week out to see if there really any BANG in this one.

UPDATE: REDSTATE.ORG will have the author of the Washington Times piece on-board as a guest blogger all week.

I’m not superstitious, but I hate when ANYBODY starts throwing predictions like this out there.
