News Roundup for Tuesday

Lot of things going on today and since will be a busy day at work, here are some interesting articles I've found this morning and want to share. My comments will be limited so no novel today. (Hat tip to Lucianne.com where I found all these articles)

New York City is gearing up for the demonstrations that will be held during the Republican Convention. I always keep hearing the Left is for free speech . . . . why are many groups trying to disrupt the convention and prevent the Republicans from having their say?

Some in the Kerry campaign are upset with President Bush's announcement about relocating US troops from Europe and Asia back to the US. The New York Post has a good write up on this and looks at it from the political angle.

The editorial board at the Boston Herald is actually impressed with the latest attack add by Bush against Kerry. That a candidate would officially sanction an attack add in this political climate is unique. The normal routine is to have one's 527's air the add. It also helps that the add is backed up with facts that are easily checked.

Russ Smith at the New York Press has a story about many of the pundits and polling groups seem to have decided that Kerry will win the election and that it is over in all but name. Very interesting especially since Gallop still shows Bush ahead of Kerry.

Finally Patterico's Pontification blog has a long article about the LA Times story on Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia. Well worth reading before, after or instead of the LA Times story. Full disclosure, Patterico also writes for the CaliforniaRepublican.org website so he isn't unbiased but then again he never claims to be (unlike the LA Times).
