Polls or not I strongly urge you all to read the Frank Rich piece in the Arts/Leisure section of the Sunday NY Times of 9/5/04.

Yes, Rich is half heartedly for Kerry, but wholeheartedly against Bush.   The piece is truly insightful regarding the character of Bush, the hype of the convention, and how some devout "cowards" who stayed out of service have made one who served with honor into a questionable figure---as Rich points out, not different than what W pulled on McCain in 2000, and dear old dad on Dukakis before that---though to dear old dad's credit he did serve and he pulled the dirty tricks in a different direction.

Read the piece and your eyes will open if they are not already
