four more lacerates. four more lacerates.

* "In some surveys, less than one in five calls produces a completed interview -- raising doubts whether such polls accurately reflect the views of the public or merely report the opinions of stay-at-home Americans who are too bored, too infirm or too lonely to hang up... "Currently cooperation rates hover at about 38 percent for the big national media surveys conducted over several days, but can dip down into the teens for surveys completed in a single night"" http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A3735-2004Oct27?language=printer

* " Almost two weeks ago, I sent a letter to you guys telling you how the new Eminem song "Mosh" has many young'ns riled up, angry, motivated and against Bush." yesterday i was bemoaning that mosh didnt wasnt released a bit earlier - to the extent that this letter is 'real' (of which i have doubts) then there was a 10day pre-release of the video and lots of people saw it already. http://www.salon.com/news/letters/2004/10/27/youngvoter/

* "If Americans cannot bring themselves to vote against the President after this record, we must ask whether American democracy is capable of performing its primary function. Can voters no longer remove a failed leader from power? The answer is even more troubling than the question: American voters are very reluctant to turn against their president at a time of war. This is a truly terrifying idea. It implies that a president can virtually guarantee his re-election by keeping his nation in a permanent state of war." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,482-1334479,00.html

* i hate jonks toughtalking. grrrr.

* "Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, is forecasting a surge in voting from the 54 per cent of eligible adults in 2000 to about 60 per cent or 121 million." http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,11226736%5E28737,00.html

* "But Eminem – the man who George Bush once called "the most dangerous threat to American children since polio" – could be the true October surprise." lol http://www.alternet.org/election04/20345/

* "The video was finished on Monday, Oct. 25, and posted at gnn.tv on the same day. After rumors that MTV would refuse to air it, the video appeared on Total Request Live on Tuesday; it's currently No. 1 on the charts." (i thuoght that the abovementioned salon letter was rubbish! heres the proof apparently)
