‘Stand up with
our President
and fight’
Forceful McCain
calls on Americans
to stick with Bush
By Alexander
Bolton
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who probably
possesses more bipartisan appeal than any other politician
in America, forcefully underscored his support of President
Bush last night, endorsing his “big stick” fight
against terrorism.
He extended an olive branch to Democrats and independents
alienated by the war in Iraq but vigorously defended Bush’s
war leadership.

quits seat
By Jonathan
E. Kaplan
The blogger who triggered yesterday’s
resignation of Rep. Ed Schrock (R-Va.) by spreading rumors
that he is gay promised “there’s more to come.”
The gossip first surfaced two weeks ago on a Washington,
D.C.-based Web log, or blog, Blogactive.com. The site links
to an audio recording that it claims is Schrock calling
into the MegaMates/Megaphone Line, a telephone service that
men can use to meet other men.

Bush poll surprise
Internal numbers show
Wisc., Mich., Pa. tilt
to President
By Bob
Cusack
Internal Bush-Cheney campaign polling shows that the
president is beating Sen. John Kerry in three states that Al
Gore carried in 2000, campaign staff members told GOP operatives
this week.
The recent shift in polling data, buttressed by several recent
public polls, has pleasantly surprised Bush campaign officials
and calmed the nerves of antsy Republicans who had become frustrated
and alarmed by the president’s lackluster numbers this
summer.

Veep and Zell Miller to play
good cop, bad cop
By Jonathan
E. Kaplan
and Bob
Cusack
Vice President Dick Cheney will serve as a character witness
for President Bush in his speech tomorrow while leaving it to
Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) to launch the sharpest attacks on Democratic
nominee John Kerry, according to sources close to the Bush-Cheney
campaign.
Cheney’s speech will include two components: He will highlight
the administration’s accomplishments and secondarily attack
Kerry without mentioning him by name.
But it will be clear that Cheney, who kicked off the convention
Sunday in a speech on Ellis Island, where he praised Bush’s
leadership, is alluding to Kerry and what Republicans perceive
as weaknesses in his legislative record.
