October 17, 2000 Why Bush Is Ahead 356-182 in the Electoral College By John McIntyre Many people have been asking why our electoral analysis differs so much from the electoral counts out in the general press. In some ways it as simple as accurately reporting when Bush is up in the polls. There seems to be a consistent tendency for the national media to overstate Gore's real level support. If Gore's up 5 in the polls, the press reports that the election is over and the Democrats have won. If the race is truly tied in the polls, the press ...

Read in this morning's PD that Gore is dropping his ads in Ohio. Campaign says they may return later. I think Gore is giving up on the Buckeye State.

Next debate is Bush’s last chance By Jay Severin MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR Oct. 9 — Tick-tock, tick-tock. There’s just 27 days left in the 2000 presidential campaign, and time is running out for Republican candidate George W. Bush. THOUGH THE debate on Oct. 11 is only the second of three, it is, for all practical purposes, the last debate for Bush. It’s the last chance to change the words and music of this weird drama in which he (just barely) co-stars, and in which he appears cast as the loser. The first debate was Bush versus Bush. The Texas governor ...

The House has given a 30-day stay of execution to the simplified method of calculating the downpayment for an FHA mortgage. But the Senate must still concur and the President must sign the extension by next Saturday before the reprieve is granted. If the Sept. 30 deadline passes, lenders will have no choice but to once again use the old, more cumbersome method for figuring FHA downpayments. And that, says the Mortgage Bankers Association, could force home buyers seeking a $150,000 loan to come up with an additional $2,200 at closing. As many as 200,000 buyers could be effected, the ...

The DOW Jones is down over 200 as of this writing. Oil prices at 10 year highs. Tension in Middle East and Europe over fuel prices. States prepare for record costs for winter heating.

Why not a Team? Maybe the newest style of campaigning would be to announce that you can select a team to vote for. Such as: President: George W. Bush Vice-President: Dick Cheney Secretary of State: Colin Powell National Security Advisor: Condeleeza Rice Secretary of Defense: either John McCain or Sam Nunn Treasurer: Steve Forbes Secretary of H&HS: Alan Keyes Secretary of Interior: Elizabeth Dole Chief of Staff: Karl Rove Press Secretary: Karen Hughes and so on... what would be the harm? It would show GWB's ability to delegate and surround himself with proven thinkers and give the American people more ...

A VIEW FROM HERE by deb weiss The Debate Debate September 7, 2000 On Sunday, with the heat of a brand-new media frenzy burning blisters on his back, George W. Bush called Al Gore's bluff concerning the Great Debate debate, offering a substitute for the three nationally-televised matches suggested by the "bipartisan commission on presidential debates." EMAIL: DEB WEISS Mr. Bush proposed a mid-September appearance on a prime time edition of NBC's "Meet the Press," hosted by Tim Russert, and an early October debate on CNN's "Larry King Live," before the final showdown in mid-October -- a "traditional," commission-sponsored debate ...
