Someone asked me what I'd thought of the debate and I said Kerry was very skilled. This person was thrilled, how well Kerry had done, etc.. She has a teenaged son and daughter. I asked how she's going to like mandatory military service. Duh. She'd never listened to what Kerry had said. So how about no more tax breaks, no more tax rebates. Duh, again. I asked how she's going to like having national safety in the hands of our nonpals at the UN. Duh. Oh, they wouldn't do that. My God. I finally asked which man she'd rather end up in a foxhole with, all things being equal. George Hamilton or John Wayne. Because in the last analysis, that is the choice. I told her I'd rather be in a foxhole with someone prepared to defend this country with his last breath, not someone more interested in his tan, his manicure, looking good, botox, the UN, how much money his wife has, etc..
Thank you Scott Rasmussen!

Sunday October 03, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 45%.
These results are based upon a survey of 3,000 Likely Voters conducted Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday afternoon. As a result, just over two-thirds of the interviews were conducted following Thursday night's Presidential Debate.
Interviews conducted on Friday and Saturday show Kerry with a one-point bounce so far since the debate. However, in post-debate interviews, Bush still leads 49% to 46%.
The debates did little to change voter perceptions of the candidates' political ideology. However, following the debate, there was an increase in the number who say finishing the mission in Iraq is more important than getting troops home as soon as possible.
Six percent (6%)% of voters say they changed their minds following the debate. This includes 3% who are now voting for Kerry, 2% for Bush, and 1% who are now undecided
