MINDS MADE UP?
38% of registered voters definitely plan to vote to re-elect President Bush in 2004 and 44% definitely plan to vote against him. The remaining 18% are not committed either way. This is bad news for Bush and great news for the country. Even Alan Greenspan, not exactly a beacon of liberalism frowns on the long term deficits this President has created in light of the upcoming baby boomer retirement. Please see todays reflections on this in The Wall Street Journal.

Murphy leads GOP to Somers sweep

Murphy leads GOP to Somers sweep

Yesterday my dad did not win the election. However he was able to garner over 41% of the vote in a town where only 37% of the voting town is registered Democrat. What that means is that my dad was able to get all of the Democratic Votes cast and a lare number of cross over votes. For the first time in Somers history the Republicans in town stood in front of post offices and even printed literature for the election. So if nothing else this campaign has signaled the end of the assured win without campaigning of Republicans in the town of Somers.

In adition, the Republicans were forced to address and make promises regarding our most important issues. See you in 2005!
