Beyond Ballot Preference - January 14, 2004

The daily trends show Wesley Clark closing in on Howard Dean. There was a 13 percentage-point gap between Clark and Dean on January 11, an 8 percentage-point gap on January 12, and a 4 percentage-point gap on January 13. If the trend continues, and even if Dean holds his core support, Clark could tie and move in front of Dean in New Hampshire before the results from Iowa are known.

John Kerry is also benefiting from the movement away from Dean and our models indicate that John Edwards is another candidate that these voters are considering.

This race is far from being settled. Welcome to the New Hampshire primary.

1. Dean Supporters

Don't let yourself be manipulated by the media. Try to think about the last time you heard a single positive thing about Dean.

He was reelected as governor five times, he ran one of about five or so states who kept a balanced budget, he helped obtain health care for about 97% of the children in Vermont. The man was obviously a great governor, yet they can find nothing good to say about him.

Clearly, the media, run by huge-corporations, who's stock is owned by the very-rich, has decided to make your vote for you, to manipulate you with the constant stream of negativity, and totally ignoring Dean's good record, of being a constant Democrat, for thirty years.

Clark, on the other hand, is clearly a Republican. He voted for Reagan, Nixon, Bush, and the new Bush, only voting for Clinton because he was so centrist, and also a Rhodes scholar. Don't vote for a Republican to defeat Bush, we can do it with a Democrat.

3. Dean aligned with the Republicans in Vermont his entire career.

And then turned around and misrepresented Kerry as a corrupt Washington insider and "Bushlite" when Kerry's lIFETIME liberal rating is closest to Wellstone of all the candidates.

Yet that didn't bother you? Kerry, who investigated and exposed more government corruption than ANY other lawmaker in the last half-century?

The media WON'T talk about Kerry and his record because it hurts Bush too much, so they gave Dean and his campaign a free ride for most of last year.

They especially won't bring up BCCI and IranContra because both are linked to 9-11 and the BCCI trial just started in England. They'll keep it and Kerry's work OUT of the mainstream media, as usual.

4. From the Sunday Guardian...from the BCCI trial which started yesterday

<>The trial is expected to last a year and potentially embarrassing questions are likely to be asked about what Ministers, civil servants and some of the City's top institutions knew about BCCI before it crashed. The Bank's most senior officials past and present will go into the witness box, and the court may also consider evidence from John Major, the former Prime Minister, and several former Chancellors.

Unwanted light may even be thrown on the intriguing relationship between BCCI and Britain's intelligence service.

It has long been claimed that MI6 used accounts at the secretive bank to pay sources and operatives around the world, and that BCCI channelled Western funds to Mujahideen fighters in the Eighties. Conspiracy theorists are watching closely too.

<>At the time of BCCI's demise, the headlines tended to focus on its long list of unsavoury customers: Manuel Noriega, Panama's military leader, Colombian drug barons and the Abu Nidal terrorist organisation among them.
