...than $4 million to Republicans, including Bush, and is a close friend of Bush adviser Karl Rove's. Of SBVT's 254 members, only one served on a boat Kerry commanded; Kerry's 10 other crewmates back him.

In two by-elections last week, Labour lost one safe seat and nearly lost another - not to the opposition Conservatives, but to the antiwar Liberal Democrats. The victorious Liberal Democrat candidate, Parmjit Singh Gill, said his constituency had "spoken for the people of Britain. Their message is that the Prime Minister has abused and lost their trust."
