More Hari-Kerry
Deborah Orin in the New York Post:
"Democrat John Kerry has lost his lead with under-30 voters because the iPod generation is getting more optimistic that the country is headed in the right direction, a new Newsweek poll found."
"President Bush and Kerry are now in a dead heat among the youngest voters with Kerry getting 45% and Bush 44% — a big switch from last month, when Kerry had a 9-point lead of 50% to 41% among under-30s, the GENext voter poll found. Its error margin is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
"Democrats had been hoping for a big boost from younger voters with music stars like Wyclef Jean, Mary J. Blige, Bruce Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks, Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam lining up for Kerry."
Correction - they lined up against Bush, not for Kerry. That young adults are deserting the Julian Kaye wannabe in droves is an indication either of the lack of stroke said musicians have with that demographic, or that said demographic has little in common with a man who'd sooner spend the evening at the opera than he would thrashing around a mosh pit.
I just love this next tidbit:
"Meanwhile, Kerry yesterday claimed Bush 'let Osama bin Laden slip away' — just days after his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, took the opposite tack and hinted Bush has a sneaky plan to produce bin Laden just before the November election."
Sounds like there's not much "pillow talk" going on in the royal boudoir.
"Kerry yesterday accused Bush of diverting troops from Afghanistan to Iraq, adding: 'All you have to do is ask General Tommy Franks' — just days after Franks, who's pro-Bush, said that Kerry claim was false. 'That's absolutely incorrect. You know, hey, my name's Tommy Franks and I don't lie,' Franks said this week."
Master[de]bator, indeed.
