Kerry Message
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Matthew Gross sees something in the new Pew Research Center Poll...
"Nowhere is the partisan divide more evident than in views of America's global standing. Fully 80% of Democrats and 74% of independents say the U.S. is less respected by other countries than in the past. Only about half of Republicans (47%) believe the U.S. has lost respect."
Kerry's message? Stonger at Home. Respected in the world. These people are on the ball. The message is targeted to lock in the base, swing the undecideds, and eat at the Republicans base.
More evidence? MyDD picks up how Zogby is adding 4 more states to the 'swing' category, making that 20 total. Those four are Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia.
And don't forget, Nebraska (and Maine) allow their electoral votes to be split. 2 for the statewide winner, and then 1 for whoever wins each Congressional district. Kos talks about how Nebraska-1st District might be battleground territory as it's outgoing Republican Congressman says the war in Iraq in retrospect was indeed unjustified.
