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 Evening Photo Montage

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.'

Yesterday, I attended a discussion panel sponsored by American Compass, a conservative book club. I will write a more general post about this in a subsequent message.
One of the speakers was John Fund. John is a member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, was the chief investigative reporter for syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novack in 1982, and has written a book, Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy
