1. A breath of fresh air

Here's hoping that the momentum continues!

2. This seems about right to me...

From what I hear & see.

3. This is at odds with the Zogby poll just out

And continues the year-long trend: the polls are all over the place.

4. The Catholic vote

White Catholics, one of the two ultimate swing voter groups in past elections, have gone from a 14-point negative personal rating of Kerry (36 percent to 50 percent favorable-unfavorable) before the first debate to a +9 positive rating (50 percent to 41 percent) now

Pretty impressive, considering the Bishops' attempt to swing the election.

5. I've been saying for six months...

...that Kerry will poll among Catholics within 2 percentage points of Gore, but does anybody listen -- No.

Go find Fr. Andrew Greeley's stuff on the sociology of American Catholics, and chill.
