Wow, for $1 can you guess Doug Turner's political leanings? first, read the way Turner describes Kerry's speech and then compare it to the way he describes the President's speech. Kerry is the "Democratic Senator from Massachusetts" while Bush is "the conservative Reupublican". In fact, you won't find the word liberal in Turner's article, but in addition to being the "conservative Republican" he also is trying to increase turnout among "his conservative base".

The President has "approval ratings (that) have scarcely budged over 50 points over the last six months"
(don't mind that they are currently at 54%) the fact that Kerry's favorability numbers are not mentioned is interesting.

Finally, Turner includes a quote from Kerry slamming the President in his story covering the President's speech, but offers no counterpoint when shilling oops covering the challenger.

Doug - time to follow George borelli and Murray light into the long good night.
