In Kabul the protest signs read DEATH TO DENMARK and DEATH...
People can't even agree who won the state last??time; Democrats have already filed nine lawsuits this year challenging election rules. Kerry needs a big turnout in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Bush needs big numbers in the Panhandle and the southern Gulf Coast. Both sides want to win the area stretching from Tampa to Orlando to Daytona Beach--the fastest-growing area in the state...
