Washington Post story: "The Gap Between Closed Minds"

[captain disgruntled]

From today's post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57582-2004Oct23.html):

"This past week brought confirmation that Bush and Kerry supporters live in alternate universes.

The Program on International Policy Attitudes, affiliated with the University of Maryland, released a poll finding that supporters of President Bush and Democrat John F. Kerry were divided not just by their views but also by the facts:

A majority of Bush supporters, 72 percent, believed that Iraq possessed prohibited weapons or had a major weapons of mass destruction program, compared with 26 percent of Kerry supporters who held such beliefs. A majority of Bush supporters also believed experts agree that Iraq possessed banned weapons just before the war, and that U.S. weapons inspector Charles A. Duelfer concluded that Iraq held prohibited arms or ran major programs. In fact, Duelfer and the others who have probed the matter found neither weapons of mass destruction nor major programs for producing them."

1. sure!!! thats it.

Now it seems even the Illinois GOP is cutting Keyes loose. The
Tribune reports that he was left off a state party mailer -- "Your 2004 Republican Team" -- listing every candidate from Bush to the state legislature. The state party spokesman said no snub was intended because "the Keyes campaign is doing its own thing."


It doesn't help that he has the other problem. He's african american.

The GOP played the race card when they put him in the Illinois race, too.
