MSNBC'S Poll
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 08/31/2004 - 14:24MSNBC has a poll asking, “Did Rudy Giuliani's speech reassure you or move you to support the Bush-Cheney ticket?” The two possible responses are ‘Reassure’ and ‘Move you to support’ You have to vote to see the results, so I can’t say how the poll is going.
However, given the choices, I thought I would create the this poll.

Monday afternoon, I attended a panel discussion on the role of conservative books. Zell Miller’s name caught my eye, and I thought I should try to attend. I know that some of my friends wouldn’t have been able to sit nicely through a panel with people like Zell, but I went and listened.
Monday Evening Photo Montage
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 08/31/2004 - 12:47As I was walking from The Tank back to Grand Central to take the train back to Connecticut, I stopped along 42nd street to see Rudy Guilliani on the large screen.
Rudy's comments about appeasing Hitler stood in stark contrast to the Mission Not Accomplished sign above, or the 'For Rent' signs reflecting the continued poor economy
below.
A few people stopped and looked, but most people just kept right on walking.
A little further down 42nd street was to controversial ad, 'Democracy is best taught by example, not by war,' standing in contrast to the Dow Jones newswire proclaiming 'The militia fighters to end uprising.'
