1. on edit

:boring:

[aquart]

2. Oh, like we'd ever vote for a Bush. Please.

Was this in doubt?

[BeyondGeography]

3. Should amend to "NYC Democrats"

Anyway, it's yet another reason to love New York.

[Sensitivity]

16. Not Clear from the story, that 81% is only of Democrats, though logical?

[BeyondGeography]

18. It's not a well-written story, is it?

But the lead implies it's a survey of Democrats.

Anyway, that's what you often get with tabloids; shitty writing.

4. Kerry Still Leads 52 % to 43% Among All NYers

Bring it on Shrub! Bring it on!

[coloktm]

6. remember these were of NY Democrats...

lets just not get to overconfident...we have a lot of work to do

[David Dunham]

9. That's All New Yorkers, not just Dems

[Renew Deal]

19. Kerry should win NY by about 15.

That's what Gore got. It helped Hillary at the time. The next time Hillary is up is an off year.

[King of New Orleans]

11. He leads 52-43 nationally

They didn't do a poll of all NY, but if Kerry was ahead by 9 points nationally then he'd win NY by more than 20 points.

5. Hold on. GOP thought no-show George was a win because of 9/11?

Are they putting additives in their drinking water?

We had to beg for every dime he promised us, and even then he stiffed us.

Unbelievable, the level of delusion in those people.

[I_like_chicken]

8. I think thats what Pataki and Bloomberg thought...

Hence why the GOP convention is in NYC this year.

[Leilani]

17. And what about the air quality at ground zero

that they lied about?

And what about obstructing the 9/11 commission?

Yeah, real popular.

[OneBlueSky]

7. wonder what the reaction will be when Bush, Rove, & company . . .

wake up and realize just how hated the chimp actually is . . . will Bush care? . . . or will he just assume that's the way it is with monarchs and their peasants? . . .

[Frances]

10. I guess that means that Rudy

won't replace Cheney as VP

[La_Serpiente]

12. Maybe the Republicans should switch their convention city

to Houston or Dallas.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Doing the Pubster convention in NYC: DUMB!!!!

Makes them look like a bunch of 9/11 profiteers. Just disgusting.

And they won't be welcomed with open arms, either.

15. In case we forgot:

Where are you, Mr Bush?

Friday September 14, 2001
The Guardian

No one has yet written the golden rulebook of politics but, when they do, one instruction will appear underlined and in bold type. In the chapter marked "Leadership" it will say, "When there's a crisis, be there." For presidents and prime ministers it's a simple enough law to observe. All you have to do is shift yourself to the scene of the action. What you say when you get there is hardly relevant; if you speak well, it's a bonus. Just make sure you do the minimum: turn up. George VI knew that well enough. That is why he and today's Queen Mother had the good sense to take themselves to the East End during the Blitz. That one walkabout may have been the most effective in modern history; the Windsors have been living off the goodwill it engendered for more than half a century.

<...>

White House officials have insisted that the president himself was itching to get back to the capital but that his secret service bodyguard deemed it unsafe. "Bullshit," says one servant of a past administration. The secret service always advises ultra-caution, he says; most presidents make the political calculation to overrule them. Bill Clinton did it all the time; if he hadn't, he'd have barely done a walkabout. But Bush did not make that call.

And that is not the only comparison Americans are beginning to make between their current leader and the previous one. They know Clinton would never have allowed himself to be ferried in secret around the country like a deposed head of state fleeing a coup. He would have wanted to send the message that he was in command, unafraid and defiantly denying the terrorists the pleasure of emptying the capital.

<...>

Just read it, if you need a refresher.

14. That's why I live here!

I wouldn't have it any other way.
