#2 For those of you who have never lived in New Jersey, this is the workers' paradise where you have to let someone else pump your gas for you.

So just remember, when a Democrat promises jobs for everyone, what he really has in mind is banning self-service gasoline.

#5 This is election that will be studied and analyzed for a long,long time.1/2 population thinks we are at war,1/2 does not.Both candidates have provided reason to think they should be either way ahead or way behind,yet polling indicates they're even.

The Republican candidate is incumbent President who has won 2 wars,and has a surging economy.He is considered far more likeable than his opponent.His opponent has no record of achievement,changes position every time he opens his mouth,has not articulated any vision that voters can follow,and has all the charisma of used toilet tissue.Yet the Republican is even in the polls.

The Democratic candidate has a base that loathes the opposition candidate,and is pouring in money and effort.The mainstream press is acting as campaign surrogate for the Democrat.The opponent has fought 2 wars and hasn't ended either;they are still sputtering along,with American troops continually being killed and no end in sight.The Democratic candidate is a decorated,multi-wounded war hero.The Republican President still hasn't captured/killed Osama after 3 years of looking for him,and senior military leadership is angry at SecDef.The economy stumbled during the Republicans watch.The Republican may be more likeable,but people think the Democrat is smarter,and more people think the Republican's doing a good job as President than say they will vote for him,meaning they are eager for a change.Outsiders are spending millions on ads ripping the Republican candidate,and the Republican has just endured a spring and summer of mainstream press criticism.While the Democrat has no real record of accomplishment,that means there's nothing to criticize,unlike the Republican's record as President.Yet the Democrat is even in the polls.

Going to be a wild ride.

#6 Kerry's media allies have been flailing at Bush for months.

Bush has not yet begun to fight.
