New York: For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Poll results are available on TIME.com and will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME magazine, on newsstands Monday, Sept. 6.

And lest we forget...their balloons fell on cue. A sure sign of superior policy."

You're darn tootin'.....it demonstrates superior ability to handle inflation and deployment matters. Though personally I wish they'd get rid of conventions; they are obsolete.

The other day you called protesters in NYC "monkeys" and today you're calling those running the Democratic presidential campaign "monkeys." Just look to janeigh's post to see the kind of tone your setting for the board.

How nice to sit in a safe room staring at a computer, perhaps munching snacks and dropping crumbs on the keyboard. To rip Kerry to shreds for his role in service of our country as a 20-something year old under enemy fire. How nice to be so smug and so totally out of touch with reality.

...and those who go back 30 years and rip apart the record of a young man who was wounded fighting for his country should be hung by their fat heads until there is room for a small amount of common sense.

I thought you couldn't vote for Kerry because he was a Northeastern Elitist.

Amazing how people can go back 30 years and begin fabricating all kinds of stories about what happened - but GWB who recently started a war with Iraq "oops, anybody can make a mistake" just sails along. Hope all the democrats start digging a little deeper, there's nothing but crappola under the entire Bush machine.

If the stories are fabrications, then why is John Kerry the one who is changing what his version of the story is?

Why is it that nobody can give me an answer that does not involve "because his original story was not accurate".

The problem with those who only see things as black & white is that nuance always appears to be lying. But I do think that the Kerry campaign has to begin to express itself in smart, direct to the issue sound bites in order to get its message across.

It is a 4 day party for their delegates, but the cities that host them are generally greatful for the added money that is brought in as a result (along with the headaches however.)

NY saw an additional $255 million injection into the economy, and Boston has not filed their figures yet, but should be doing so in the next two or three weeks.

I'm a registered independent and am voting for Kerry. I can't imagine why anyone would vote for Bush.

I've noticed one glaring difference between the Kerry and Bush campaigns. Bush's supporters act like a bunch of bullies. Kerry keeps trying to defend himself. I'm not

sure why he doesn't launch an all-out offensive.

A nice ad beginning with Bush sitting in the classroom looking like he had overdosed on tranquilizers and ending with him mislabeling countries and leaders would be nice. It's exactly the kind of tone Bush's campaign has been using. Sad but true.

Nice simply doesn't get it running against Bush's frat boy mentality. Maybe they could run an ad where Bush calls the leader of North Korea a pygmy - you know, kind of a salute to his diplomatic abilities.
