After a three-week, 17-state Bush-Cheney ad campaign outlining the deplorable record of John Kerry on national defense and intelligence, the latest USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll revealed that the 28-point lead (63-35) Mr. Kerry enjoyed in mid-February in those 17 battleground states had disappeared.
Today, Mr. Bush leads by six points (51-45) in those states. If that is how the electorate responds to what Mr. Kerry's Republican opponents say about him, imagine how voters would react to the objections hurled by Mr. Kerry's fellow Democrats.

logansdad - A little reading might help you understand how the 'battleground states' are different from the rest and just why they are significant to this election.

But you have to remember, Kerry has been on vaction and then had an operation. He has been out of commission for a few weeks.
What the articles should point out is that if Kerry would disappear, the best Bush could do is a statistical tie. LMAO !!!

Out of commission, reamond? LOL A voluntary VACATION....until the day of his surgery.
And his absence hasn't stopped his campaign staff from putting out statements for him.
Looks to me like some are fearful kerry's going to lose....and are already making excuses for why he chose to vacation rather than continue campaigning. Much needed rest was one of the reasons for his vacation that I read. But I believe he was getting frazzled trying to answer questions about his flip-flop statements. And needed to get his 'thoughts' in order.
